From a reader:
Dear Jonah, I’m sure you don’t subscribe to ToyFare Magazine (being married leaves little time for geek pursuits) but each issue has a “Twisted ToyFare Theatre” where they pose action figures with funny balloon captions (it’s really much funnier than I describe). This month’s T.T.T. has The Leader zap The Hulk with a smart ray (he calls it a de-tard ray), thinking that a smart Hulk will have better things to do than harass The Leader. After being “smartified”, The Abomination (Hulk’s Russian nemesis) challenges Hulk to a fight. Instead of fighting, Hulk calmly explains to The Abomination that while Marxism may work on paper, imperfect leaders will always produce an imperfect society and capitalism’s motive of self-interest is what has made America so strong! I just thought it was great to see a logical agrument for capitalism in the back pages of a nerdy toy magazine. Check it out if you can
