Albert has been grabbed by a T-Rex, who is taking him home to cook, but the T-Rex’s daughter is reluctant because she thinks he looks too much like a cousin. (They are about the same size and bear a strong resemblance.) The gang is looking on from behind a fallen tree branch. When the T-Rex goes to fetch something, Albert challengers her daughter to put up her dukes. But when he realized she is a girl, he changes his tune and begins flirting.

Walt Kelly's original art for the Pogo Sunday strip published on July 24, 1966. From the Prehysterical Pogo in Pandemonia storyline. My favorite storyline from my favorite comic strip.

Tuesday movie:

Superman's speech: "We learned that each individual must be responsible for his or her actions. That we all have a responsibility to use our powers and abilities to better ourselves and to help those less fortunate. There are some who would consider such lessons old-fashioned, out of date. They would have us believe that we must get all we can, lest someone less worthy take it from us. They have played upon our fears, and use those fears to elevate themselves to positions of power and of wealth! They have wrapped themselves in our flag and have spoken of unity, but they have practiced the politics of divisiveness, of exclusion! In that, they remind me of my ancestors on the world of Krypton, who practice the politics of exclusion to its absurd extreme. Kryptonians lived apart, each of them a nation of one. Had it been otherwise, they might have recognized the threat to their world and united in time to save themselves. My friends, it is time to reject the politics of exclusion and instead embrace the politics of unity! It is time to reject the greedy few, who have driven us ever deeper into debt and have lined their own pockets – even as they deny us the funds to improve our children's education and to cleanse our air, water and soil! The time has come, my friends, to reject their leadership of fear, and vote them out of office!" Action Comics Annual #3 (1991) by Roger Stern, Tom Grummett & Rodier, Halewood, Garzon & Vancata w/ Whitmore & Hollingsworth

Again: Superman was created by two Jewish guys who loved the New Deal. In his early appearances he beat up domestic abusers, slum lords, war profiteers, arms dealers and more.

Famously the Superman radio show helped destroy the KKK's popularity in 1946.
