Sunday Funnies...






Is this 1950s "Rocket to Uranus" album real?

No, this isn't a 1950s album cover for "Rocket to Uranus" made by oblivious people of a more earnest and naive era. It's a fake.

Kids of the 1950s couldn't get enough space age stories. Tom Corbett, Space Cadet was just one of many space age characters that young baby boomers were obsessed with. Corbett was everywhere: in comic books, on radio, plastered on lunchboxes and starring in an incredibly popular TV show during the 1950s.

In 1951, a Tom Corbett record was released called "Space Cadet Song and March." But that "Rocket to Uranus" version on the left is a modern day Photoshop job.





Speaking of fakes...


Thanks Greg.

    Not getting the connection between Lucille Ball and StarTrek, but a neat illustration just the same. Maybe someone can fill me in as to what it refers.

    Desilu Productions was the company that produced the original Star Trek series.
