"You're All Effed Up!"

Whoda thunk that the lamp from A Christmas Story was an actual thing. . .

It was definitely the inspiration for the 1940s Batmobile. . .

Be warned--this isn't quite work-safe. . .

I think whoever dreamed this up was trying to sell something. . .but I also think there were people who believed this. . .

Here's a standout plane from the late twenties/early thirties--the Handley Page HP42-- While the range is given as 500 miles, I see no reason why extra fuel tanks couldn't be installed to give the plane extra range for record-breaking long-distance flights.

If law enforcement were baseball, the FBI in the thirties would have been the New York Yankees. . .

Nancy Drew has been mentioned in this thread, so here are some book covers from the 1930s. Not exactly what one thinks of when it comes to pulp adventure, but if anyone is looking to run a "Teen Pulp HERO" campaign, these may provide some inspiration--

One "Beautiful" Word. . .

Ya know, there are these things called holsters? Ya might've heard of 'em. . .

This is a painting by none other than Norman Rockwell, but the scene could have come from any number of pulp magazine stories--
