For tonight's
Friday Night Fights, we're proud to bring you the first and most important comic featuring
the real-world heavyweight champion vs. a comic book hero...
No, not
that one!! That one was merely copying
this classic!
It's
1964, and world champion
Sonny Liston is training for a title bought with Cuban boxer
Pablo Popsicle!
Unfortunately, Pablo accidentally eats an anti-gravity lollipop, and isn't available for the bout!
Now, this is a bad thing, because:
Well, our hero can't let a counter-revolution against
Castro go unfunded!
And so...
[
SPOILER ALERT: That's just
Herbie in a fake mustache,
posing as Popsicle!
CRASH!!!
Spacebooger can't wait to dig out his old
Buster Douglas vs.
Jughead comic books!!
Victory in the sport of kings is from Herbie #1 (1964) by Richard Hughes (writing as Shane O'Shea) and Ogden Whitney
Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Look, I don't want to make Herbie angry--do YOU? So go vote!!
