We start, as we usually do, with Kid and Keeper coming upon a couple who needs help. And, also as per usual, Keeper doesn't want to get involved.
And really, when George Washington gives you advice--you're gonna listen!!
Anyway, they have the formula, and kidnap Fred so he can show them how to use the formula...
Well, that's for another day. For now, Kid goes back to 1755, to fetch a young, hale and hearty George Washington!
Anyway...George takes out the trash!
Still, a great story, Kid is particularly clever, and GEORGE WASHINGTON KICKS ASS!!

NEXT--The Kid goes to Camelot! (It's only a model!)
From Hit Comics #44 (1947)
It does raise an interesting question regarding the age of the people summoned. He's called on several athletes who died as old men, but appeared as they were in their prime.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of a passage from Kurt Vonnegut (I can't recall which book it appeared in) where Vonnegut speculated that in Heaven, our spirits manifest at the age of our choosing, depending on when in our life we were happiest. Vonnegut imagined himself being in his mid-30s...and being embarrassed by his father's appearing as a child.
Since there's some evidence to suggest Washington was actually bulletproof, he's never a bad choice.
