Everyone seems pretty nonplussed.  Just business as usual down at the precinct.

We had one of those! What a beast and it could pull out tree stumps it was so powerful, And I guess woman then had muscles (men didn’t vacuum in those days) because lifting it to go upstairs was no easy chore as that’s all metal construction!

It was very powerful and sold door to door by salesman who liked to demonstrate that.  In my younger years, I talked to a wise old man who had been visited by a rep who showed the suction was so strong that he could pick up a bowling ball.  The old man told him that he was impressed, but that, if his bowling ball was in the middle of the living room, he'd just pick it up and put it in the closet.

You're right!  Even the alien is like, "come on, I've got places to be."

Wrong thread, I'm pretty sure this isn't DC.

I know these are a little later than golden age but this one was too pretty not to post

Made for this thread. Silver age start date should be re-written as this guy graced the newsstands some 11 months before Showcase 4.

Clearly the editorial group who came up with this concept had just finished a three or possibly four Martini lunch!
