FF post by screenshots, it's day 15 and 5am, let's do it. Today is about The Thinker! A man so smart he can predict anything, and in the early days is viewed as a prescient computer. Predicting things second thru constants & variables. It was very silly and his methods and FF's response were grand.
Picture is a monkey holding a match trying to light paper on fire. The caption is as follows "Just as it was part of my plan to know that an organ grinder's monkey would accidentally start a fire in a deserted shack, thereby burning valuable papers which contained enough evidence to send me to jail for years! that's why I am -- THE THINKER!" Picture is Reed stretching up in a small room with Sue hanging around his neck and ben holding onto his waist for dear life. Johnny is flaming up as gas fills the room. Sue: "REED! The THINKER as hurled some GAS CYLINDERS at us!" Reed "It's not ORDINARY gas, Sue! I can tell by the odor -- it's a formula of my OWN!" Johnny "Well, Don't keep us in the dark partner! What does it DO??" It's always important to be able to identify your own gas by smell aye Reed? Ben lifting the thinker -with his bad hairline and green garb- off the ground by the collar while johnny and reed look on. The Thinker: "How? HOW did you do it?? How did you beat me?" Reed: "You overlooked ONE thing in your plans THINKER! There is always an X-FACTOR to prepare for -- the UNEXPECTED!" Ben: "Aww Write 'im a LETTER Reed! I'm itchin' to CLOBBER 'im!" As all early thinker stories are this is extremely silly.

Yowzer, almost missed a day! Day 14, FF posting, screengrabs go! I'm gonna shout out some of the letters that got sent in to Marvel re:FF. I love it and since I started reading these holistically I have never seen a woman I disagree with. This leads me to believe overall women get comics. Full stop.
"Dear Editor You've got a heckuva nerve making a doll like Susan Storm invisible!" from a coward "Unsigned dallas texas" in response the editor/stan says "Listen, Unsigned, with wolves like YOU around, she's a lot better off that way! 4." I think unsigned sucks. Dear Editor: I thought I'd seen everything, but when you showed the Thing putting on his new costume & grumbling: "bah! Costumes -- that's kid stuff! Who needs 'em? I ain't gonna wear this fool outfit!" I nearly flipped! At last I've found a magazine with characters which are differ-ent! They're unpredictable, and unforgettable! If you don't make the Fantastic Four a monthly, I'll shoot myself! Anthony Gonzales Mexico City Mexico (to editorialize I think Tony's a little intense but I love the enthusiasm) The reply "We've been thinking about making the F.F. a monthly, Tony. All we need now are a few extra pairs of hands and a new work day with 48 hours in it! But, if we can find a way to do it, let the competition beware!" then there's a pic of an ugly-ass thing jumping over a 4. Dear Editor: Big Deal! So you finally hit a winner with the Fantastic Four! Now, what are ou going to do or an encore?? Shirley Howard, Chicago IL Reply "That's easy, Shirl! We can always come up with new titles like The Fantastic Five, The Fantastic Six, etc. -- As long as we don't run out of numbers!" 4 I'd like to throw out, I fucking love the Fantastic Five books that have been put out. Dear Editor: how about biogs of Stan Lee & Jack Kirby? And don't tell me that the Fantastic Four are real people, but Lee & Kirby are imaginary! Jim Moony Hollywood California Reply "We're real enough, Jimmy boy! But everytime Kirby poses for a picture, the camera lens breaks! And whenever Lee starts to write about himself, he uses the word 'I' and 'me' so much that the typewriter quits! However, we may yield to public demand in the future. (Some demand! One grubby little post card!) 4" Genuinely I find stuff like this unbelieveably charming

Day 13, give it up for day 13! I gotta make this one brief, so I'll just say I love the weird faces and failures that the art get sometimes. It makes me laugh and I find it incredibly charming. Real evidence that you can always do art, because you could get to this level, and beyond.
Sue looking like a mom from Dr Stone. A dude who is freaking out, but also his mouth might be his moustache. Thing looking like he realized he had lips 30 seconds ago. Just like a real great dog freaking the fuck out.

Day 12 of FF posting thru Screenshots. This is a shout out to how Ben talks to normal joes, or even about normal joes, it's spectacular. Full of contempt and dickswinging & weird hostility for the 'enemies' of the day. Opportunists, commies, and abusers in the military? Bastards forever. Its lovely.
Two panels, one of Ben ripping a series of telephone books with a big RRRRRRIIP! sfx, and in the second it's a General (Ross?) freaking out over the destruction of the books, with Reed holding him back by the shoulders with stretchy powers. First Panel text; Ben: "THIS is what I'll do to that oversized crumb-bum when I get my hands on 'im!" Second Panel text; General: "Oh NO! The big ape ruined my bound set of telephone books! Of all the--!!!" Reed: "Easy, General! We'll reimburse you for them! But you've got to watch what you say to the thing!" Ben reading a card from a wallet as someone watches from behind a wall "It IS! It's a membership card in a subversive communist-front organization! That means -- Karl Kort must be-- A RED!" A man with a corncob pipe, large brimmed hat, counting bills as Ben walks away getting the last word in. Smiley: "Well... There's nothing in the rules about flying cars! Just to play safe I'll have to charge you DOUBLE RATES!" Ben "There's the dough, Smiley! Now go split it with your partner, Jesse James"

Day 11, F4 posting via screenshots. Today's post is about how hostile Johnny & Ben were to each other at the start. They were bullying each other until the other says KYS. It's shocking today, but it's an important part of why FF worked at the start. They were fallible humans who were often cruel!
Reed with a balled fist, Thing, and a lit Human Torch talk. Reed: "We were wrong to tackle them with brute force alone! They're at least as strong as WE are! We've got to find them again, and then OUT-SMART them!" Ben: "If that means we gotta use our BRAINS, then the torch better stay behind!" Johnny: Aw, go play in traffic, you big ox!" The four in outfit descending from their rooftop elevator, Ben is sitting and the party looks exhausted. Caption box "After catching their breath, the colorful foursome heads for their skyscraper suite via their private rooftop elevator" Ben: "I don't know whether I oughtta THANK you, or paste you one, hot-head!" Johnny: "Why don't you get a job as a food tester in a poison factory?!"

Done this ten days in a row, someone get me a popper. FF, pics, you get it.

Today we're gonna get how dynamic some of the art can be, whether that's the super apes or Reed, Jack Kirby put a lot of this into really dynamic poses and usages of the powers that disappear when he leaves for 10+ years.
The FF fighting the hulk, Reed tries to trap him and then Hulk pulls a tasmanian devil routine and is able to break free the caption says "Like a living tornado, the HULK spins himself around, causing MR. FANTASTIC to unwind his body before the irresistable power of the incredible creature" the spelling error is theirs not mine After a good-natured fight, Ben traps Mr Fantastic into a jar and he coils like a spring. Ben says "Do you get the message, mister?" Reed replies "I read you loud and clear, little friend! You Win! We'll all go together!" Red Ghost is freaking the fuck out because the gun he was holding turned into a grey baboon. The chimp doesn't look pleased about where Ghost's hands were either. Red Ghost says "-- The BABOON! He TOO was affected by the cosmic rays! He now has the power to change his shape-- to turn into a copy of anything! It is more than I dared HOPE for! But what about the orangutan -- and ME??"

Day 9 of FF thru screenshots, and I'll just keep this one trim by saying, I love how slang and posture changes over time to become more suggestive than it otherwise would be.

I love my stupid jokes and so seeing stuff like this just makes me laugh 60 years later.
Johnny Storm sitting on the floor looking like he has a freshass fade saying "You Tell 'Im, Big Daddy!" A caption box that says "But suddenly a strong, supple arm reaches out, and skillful, sure fingers find their objective..." Reed pouring a nice sippu sippu into Ben's mouth while holding his neck tenderly. It is a potion to change him back but you can tell by their faces neither of them want it to end.

I love my cone-headed son. Day 8 of FF retrospective thru screenshots is one about my absolute favorite FF antagonist, The Impossible Man a Poppupian. He's a hivemind that can do whatever he wants & acts like an obnoxious fey imp. He's great, he's how my mom got me into comics & he makes me laugh.
The Impossible Man, eating a sandwich so intently he's gone crosseyed.

We're a week in to my posting of FF screenshots about my journey through those books. Let's talk about Reed. Reed Richards? Not a very nice man most of the time. Then they work on rehabilitating him, he gets better, & backslide him. I like Ryan North's modern take, but the 60's cunt makes me happy.
Mr Fantastic got flat stanley'd by a boulder Doom shooting his lil finger laser like inspector gadget saying to Reed "While YOU were in my form, richards, you never suspect that my right index finger houses a sub0miniature transistor-powered atomic blast gun! NOTHING can withstand its impact-- you shall now all learn!" And I gotta side with doom on this one, this is a failure of reed not to think that would be a thing. three panels of reed talking with a shirtless human ben grimm pointing and talking in the last panel. First panel he's pointing at a statue of abe lincoln "maybe THIS will help them to understand! See this bust of Abe Lincoln? Remember his famous remark about his mother? The time he said that all that he was-- all that he ever HOPED to be-- he owed to her?" next panel "Lincoln's mother was the most important person in teh world to him! BUT-- she didn't help him fight the civil war! She didn't split rails for him! She didn't battle with his enemies!" Final panel, Sue is also there and while she doesn't get to speak I'm guessing this whole thing is about her. Ben says "In fact, if we printed Lincoln's life in our mag, some wise guy would probably write in and ask why we don't leave his mother out of the story, because she doesn't DO enough!" And Reed, while console Sue says "And while we're on the subject of "doing enough"-" The early FF writers larped responding to fan mail in the actual comic, it was weird and bad but the bad made it great.

Day 6 of my posting through my FF reading journey via screenshot backlogs. Just over half a year in, we've got people from everyone taking notice of the FF even the dreaded Planet X! I love how fucking ugly and weird he is. We get a lot of perverts and freaks like that in FF.
The inner book title page of FF # 7 "The fantastic four *in* prisoners of KURRGO, Master of Planet X" as a header, underneath is Kurrgo sitting in hedonism bot's chair with his massive bulbous uggo head watching the FF on a view screen. He is in greens and browns with a scarf hiding his neck so he looks like he was something that could forseeably have been circumcised. Amongst the art is "It came from the skies!" "Part 1" and Kurrgo's speech bubble which says. "Hah! Little do the earth-lings suspect that I, Kurrgo, master of planet X, many lgiht years away from their primitive earth, have been monitoring their actions for weeks!"

Day 5 of posting my journey thru Fantastic 4. Today I get to hi-lite my fav doom story, (one of the only good ones) his first ish! He kidnaps Sue & force the FF to go back in time to steal blackbeards magic jewels. The FF disguise Ben as BB & it turns out he was maybe always blackbeard! LET HIM STAY
Reed and Johnny disguising Ben to blend in, off-panel "There! You look real natural!" Ben, in a pirate cap, yellow bandana, eyepatch and with fake hair and beard "SAY! This feels pretty GOOD!" They spend most of the ish raping and pillaging (or the comic code authority approved equivalent) before realizing that they have amassed blackbeard's treasure and are ready to go back for a doom double cross. Ben however does not want to go back, on this panel he is in pirate disguise yelling with a yellow tinted helmsman in the background. "Why CAN'T I stay? The future holds nothing for me! In the Twentieth Century I'm nothing but a monster... A FREAK!" continued into a second bubble "But HERE I'm SOMEBODY! I'm a leader of men! I'm a captain! I'm the guy who started the legend of blackbeard! The kids will read about me in school some day! I ain't givin' this up ... NEVER! And then reed and johnny force him to go back, which I always thought was f'd up

Day 4 of posting about my journey thru FF via screenshots from a year ago. This is a special shoutout to the era it's in. The writing of 60's FF w/ big Stan bubbles filled w/ terms & ideas of the era. Some natural, some as idioms. The cup of coffee we'll revisit later on. I just find it so endearing
Human Torch locked in a room with the thought bubble saying "they put me in a special asbestos room, so that my flame can't do any damage!" Human Torch and Reed Richards picking up The Thing by the crooks of his arm after a long fight, Thing looks like a toad. Human Torch - "I hate to say it, Thing... but, I'm PROUD of you!" The Thing - "BIG DEAL! That, and a dime, will get me a cup of coffee!" Mr Fantastic - "QUIET, you two! Who's THAT?"

George Klein and Dick Ayers were incredible inkers especially when they were playing with shadows and weird light sources. It's one of the real highs of the earliest art, which says plenty when there's a host of highs.
A gorgeous shot of the moleman announcing hmself and being named for the first time in comics. Jack Kirby's contrasting light and shadow with his inker to have an oozey yellow light pour over moleman's visage with the darkness of the caves shadowed in deep purples. Moleman's speech bubble says "-- and as for me -- I am the moleman!!" Another crazily inked pair of panels of I believe the wingless wizard noticing the invisible woman and then hypnotizing her? Idk too much text to fully but it is crockery of the highest nature (endearing)

Day 2 of recounting my path through Fantastic Four from random screenshots I took. Jack Kirby was the man for a thousand reasons, but god do I love his little freaks who wig out, whether they're from Monster Island, the past, or the microverse. Each of them look like they could have a DK voice line
A red skinned freak monster who is LOSING IT because Sue went invisible right in front of her. I'll be honest, this looks like a crazy bat guy draped in red light with a big buck tooth and a lil pedro from Napoleon Dynamite stache & I have no memory of who or what he is. I'll guess.... Another monster from monster island. Hey you guys remember when the FF encountered a Cyclops with chest gills? Me neither but god do I love the way the look of consternation fills his whole face.

Since September of 2024 I've been reading Fantastic Four & have nearly read every crumb, every morsel of their work. I'd like to take 2025 & spread the joy of the highs, lows, & occasional insanity of the Fantastic Four, starting w/ a couple of instances of Ben Grimm drowning in cum. Happy New Year!
Softhide Ben Grimm as The Thing traveling through the sewers in a very early Stan & Jack FF issue. He is letting the water carry him along, which means he is neutral buoyant? The water is paler than one would think for the sewers so it appears to be a more suggestive liquid. Also he looks like he yearns for death. Ben Grim as classic Jack Kirby thing drowning in a pale material that, if I recall correctly is the Frightful Four's doing (either Paste Pot Pete's cum gun or Sandman's Sand, man) He has several speech bubbles but the only one cropped in frame is him saying "[I have] A brain as well as a gorgeous 'phizzeek'!!!" Sometimes I think Stan was paid by the lettter

I know everyone's talking about getting a library card & supporting their local library on this site. I wanted to throw out that a lot of public libraries have also done away with late/overdue fees so if that's something that is stopping you fret not!
