View attachment 655453Neanderthal Santa.

Neanderthal he may well be, but the 'hairy Ainu' are the indigenous people of the far north of Japan -
unlike the Japanese, the men do grow impressive beards - not that they look much like Santa,or anyone else on that cover

it's interesting, though sad, to see Japanese racist stereotypes exported to American pulps

You mean as opposed to us creating our own? The Japanese are perfectly capable of growing beards, where the Ainu tend to be hairier is on their bodies like Caucasians. Despite what the Japanese think they aren't native to the islands just as homo sapiens are not native to the Americas.

Let's face it, those "pulps" are ALL about stereotypes. As was most of the pop-culture in that time period. Not meaning to offend anyone but Japanese where "Japs", the Chinese were "Chinks", my Italian ancestors were "Whops" and I was a "goiem" (non-Jew) to the mother of a Jewish boy I dated when I was all of 13.

One of the interesting things is that there are 20,000 year old Caucasian graves in northern China. Caucasians have Neanderthal genes and some Asian (and maybe Caucasians) may also have Denisovan genetic material in them.

We've been wandering around this planet for a long long time and it seems sex is one thing we have been enjoying with each other for quite awhile.

And let's also be honest with ourselves, there was a time in our existence that "different" really did mean "dangerous" and all cultures created stereotypes to make that which was dangerous be non-appealing so that we wouldn't mingle with or trust that which was "dangerous".

It was how we were, it served a valuable purpose when existence was tenuous at best and now we have gotten past that (I hope). That's civilization as it progresses folks.

Let's not be to quick to judge those who came way before us because we really don't know what their lives were like. And let's hope those who follow us aren't too quick in pointing their fingers back at us tsk-tsking about what moral Neanderthals we were just because they are more enlightened (remember ALL morals are relevant not absolute).

Not meaning to offend anyone but Japanese where "Japs"

You don't offend me, though today I would never say Jap. My father-in-law was a gentle, respectful man. He spent 2 1/2 years in the Pacific fighting the Japanese and knew what they did to prisoners of war. He spent 6 months with the army in Japan after the war and got to know some Japanese he liked. But he would never, to his dying day, consider owning a Japanese product. In his later years he was too polite to say it, but I knew he still hated them for Pearl Harbor and for the prison camps. And with good reason.

BTW Connoisseurs, he wasn't very happy with "those damn German cars." either!

My kind of Calendar. A redhead too!
Lie Down in Darkness - "Reveals the Innermost secrets of a Woman;s Life!" those are the best secrets!

My father was in Burma and had the same attitude to Japanese cars; I was amazed when he bought a VW, but he never bought another.

In that topic, Man's Wildcat adventures, February 1961 small format

"Book Bonus: A girl named trouble." I'd love to meet here. But really, isn't that a kind of child abuse? Naming a little baby girl 'trouble'?
"11 nudes of Milano." I'd settle fro three or four of the best.
"The Black Devil of Haiti" Unfortunate racism
Cover: Staked out girl showing too little skin (but with nice inviting leg posture - have the Japs indulged there already?) Fat, Bald torture master. Two soldiers showing how evil they are as they laugh at her fate. American hiding in the bushes about to rescue her, waiting just a little bit longer. Worried about taking on all three with ... what is his weapon? Looks like a large ginsu knife he stole from the Jap Officer's mess!

Concluding the Pulp exploration of Great Literature.
"Mad Killer Prowls a Summer Resort" Graham Greene
Sanctuary by William Faulkner. Love redheads in green dresses - so Christmas!
"Ribald...virile...vital." Saul Bellow

Most titles were serious? paperbacks. All were real published books. "Pulp the Classics" is a press that issued classics with those humorous covers.

"Cannibal Crabs Crawl to Kill" Too bad the editors lacked the courage to flaunt the rules and go with Cill.
"Why marry a Virgin?"Good luck finding one around here!
It could be Christmas. I'd like to meet her sneaking down to check what present I had for her.
"The Usurpers by Geoff St. Reynard - great writer!
Nice torture, sharp spikes coming up at her breasts and chin! "The Thing Grimaldi Made" - nice plug for Nude Nurse; The Corpses' Christmas Party" the excuse for being a Christmas post
