Friday Night Fights--Judo Is Real Cool Style!!

We're traveling a bit off the beaten path for this week's Friday Night Fights.

In the early 50s, there was a hero named Judo Joe. And every issue he would fight communists, and crooks, and communist crooks. Plus, every single issue would feature "one complete judo lesson"!

Well, we'll take more about Joe later. Today, we've got a tale featuring his girlfriend, Judo Judy:

Just for the record, those aren't ironic quotation marks or anything...he really is a burglar. Irony hadn't been invented yet in 1953...

Anyway, Judy is asleep, dreaming of her big date with Joe tomorrow...
















So...


Yet the burglar still must face the ultimate humilation...

...being taunted as a sissy by cops.

Spacebooger wonders how different history would be if only Aunt May had only known a little Judo...

Judo IS real cool in Judo Joe #3 (1953), credits not confirmed but most likely written by Dr. Barney Cosneck and drawn by Paul W. Stoddard

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Free judo lessons!! So go and vote!!
