366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 107: Stop Me Before I ¢#@% Again

Admittedly I'm just a little six-year-old stuffed bull who doesn't know many cusswords beyond "darn" and "jeepers," but can you solve the Madlibbian mystery of just what the Sam Scratch is the swear that Jonah is saying here? Seems like any curse you could sub in there just winds up being even more bizarre.

366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 105: Yo, Jo!(nah)

Which do you think is the least likely Marvel comic book for Jolly Jonah to make an appearance in? (Well, besides his appearances in an extended subplot of Popples). What, you don't remember that he was a card-carrying (card written by Larry Hama) member of America's elite fighting force that also included Rocky Balboa, "the boxer who used to punch meat?"

366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 101: What If...Jack Kirby Drew J. Jonah Jameson?

As far as the internet tells me, "The King" never actually drew Jolly Jonah (JJJ doesn't even appear in Fantastic Four until ish #110, just after Kirby left the book). But here's the next best thing: a Kirbyesque portrayal by José Ladrönn, from the pages, of all places...Cable!

If you know of any comic in which Jack Kirby drew J. Jonah Jameson, for gosh sakes, let me know in the comments!
