Manic Monday Triple Overtime--Personality Workshop!!

You know that time that you were just trying to watch some TV with your friends in the rec room, when...


...when that goofy aunt of yours had to butt in with her opinions on personality!

Well, Aunt Eileen might have a point, as the kids are pretty clueless as to what "personality" is:


Yeah, keep on dreaming, George.

Don't worry, Aunt Eileen is here to crush all their childish dreams and hopes!


So, wait?!? Personality is how you look? How you feel?

"Your ability to enjoy beautiful things" is personality? What about your ability to appreciate ugly things? Or look beyond the surface?!?1

Anyway, here comes the clincher:

Yes, the most important part of your personality is...your religion.

Look, this is from Treasure Chest Of Fun and Fact Volume 13 #1 (1957). It was distributed in Catholic schools (which is kind of a rip-off, because my school never gave me comic books!), from a publisher that specialized in Catholic publications. So it's probably no surprise that religion got worked into Aunt Eileen's "personality workshop."

But to basically say that if you don't believe in God, you don't have a personality?

Bite me.

We end with perhaps a better way to state our message:



Umm, if you have to think about it, it's not your personality, it's a facade, kid.

Next?

Oh, trust me, we'll come back for that story.
