light reflections,
Door open on left, house with roof on the background. In between is I figure a New Yorker's impression of what a privacy fence looks like in the Catskills.

![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/sdeet/182946_zps7c50d096.jpg) The newspaper Dick-whacking needs no explanation. But WTF else is happening in this image?

I really thought one of you pervs would have some idea what was going on here.
Or maybe you're all too busy with due to the Dick inspiration up there.

I thought it was going to be a bit pervier than spooning...

![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/sdeet/sdeet034/Henry%20Aldrich%206_zpswf0yob7j.jpg) OK, so Henry likes the suit jacket he's trying on. His pal thinks it's sharp too. The shoulders might be a bit exaggerated and the orange plaid might be a bit bright (although by comic book standard it's nothing special) but what's with the nail biting? They are in a department store in Aldrichville, America, so there's hardly going to be SHOCKING male fashions there. (Cover is from summer 1951, well after any zoot suit panic. And this ain't a zoot suit.)

The lead story inside isn't much help either. It's about Henry wanting to buy a new tuxedo in order to ask his girl to the formal, but since his father refuses to give him money, having secretly already ordered him a tuxedo to surprise him, Henry secretly gets a job working at the department store in order to earn the money.
So it's kind of vaguely related to the cover, but not really helpful in deciphering the nail biting.

Henry's still questionable:  G.Jones gives us food for thought... ...is Jughead the missing link? Or does he merely multiply the WTFery? Maybe Henry Aldrich was getting his eatin' clothes on.

Oh, very nice Teeds. Very nice indeed.
If three's a hatrick, what's four?

That expression is not giving a seal of approval.

^The Action artwork was manipulated. (But not by much.)
What's the question about the ALF cover?

My question about the Alf cover is what height is he going to drop that child from? I don't want to like Alf if he's just going to put it back down again. Is this Alf's Michael Jackson impersonation?

I think they would both end on State Registries by the way they are surprised by each other's appearance. ![[Linked Image]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/4b/b9/5a4bb9c183c0bee8aeddc3386982535f.jpg)

That was the issue where Robin betrays the duo to the evil Mer-Children of the Deep!
Don't be fooled by the shoes next to the sign. Those in the pool never needed them. Their last wearer, the children's last victim, doesn't need them now either.
All to recruit an Aqualad for your Teen-Team Robin. How could you?!

Down below, Johnny Thunder feels a bit left out.

Why is there a giant flying baby behind their airborne Jeep? And wearing a Nacho Libre mask as well? ![[Linked Image]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ef/95/74/ef95741ba3e7fe43c23eb89c5f5e9a37.jpg)

The Golden Age thread is chockablock with poor art, bizarre anatomy, unintentionally (?) suggestive elements, general nuttiness. WTF, right? Then there are the other ones. Every so often I run across a cover that seems like it should "make sense" but I can't quite work out what the artist was trying to convey. It probably comes down to one of three things: - cultural references no longer commonly understood
- poorly realized situation/gag
- 99 out of 100 people understand it just fine (I am the 1%!)
I'll post 'em, you guys help me out. Deal? Feel free to post the "it should 'make sense' but I don't get it" covers you run across to crowdsource an answer (maybe). "WTF were they thinking" and "Why did they publish that" falls outside the purview of this thread -- but the answer to both for ANY COVER is they thought someone would buy it. (And they were probably right.)
