Today in Comics History, February 4: Happy birthday, Betty Friedan!

Born on this day in 1921: Betty Friedan, feminist/activist! Also: author of the seminal text of second-wave feminism, The Feminine Mystique!

So unless you're got six arms, celebrate the day by taking your best girl out to see a sexy movie!

    1. The kerning in "FLICK" is doing heroic work here.
    2. My dream bit of dialogue for 1960s/'70s Marvel has always been something like, "I'm THRU with you, mister! Do you hear me? T-H-R-O-U-G-H -- thru!"
