  1. “Snowstorms shut down most of New England today…”

    “What, is he a climate denier?”

    “Burn him! Burn the climate denier!”

    1. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a “climate denier,” unless one proposes that we’re all just brains in jars stuck in a VR simulation.

        1. The Japanese version of “Rodan” blamed the awakening of giant pteradons on global warming.

          The American release added footage of A-bomb and H-bomb tests and dubbed the dialog to blame nuclear tests and cut global warming from the dialog.

          The climate deniers were suppressing The Truth(TM) in 1956!!

  2. I’ve sometimes wondered about this illustration. It seems far more modern than most of the rest. Do you happen to know when it is from? I’m trying to get an idea of when images start being out of copyright.

    1. Printed illustrations work by the same rules that printed text does: A copyrighted illustration with no attributed artist or or for which the copyright was originally in the name of the publisher or publication instead of the artist (i.e., a “work-for-hire” piece in which the publisher or commissioner purchased all rights) enters public domain 70 years after initial publication; one attributed to the artist as copyright holder enters public domain 70 years after the death of the artist.

      However, if work is released into the public domain earlier than that by the copyright holder, one doesn’t have to wait for time to pass. I believe I got that particular image from an online collection of public domain clipart.
