Welcome to the 911st installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, a column where we examine three comic book myths, rumors and legends and confirm or debunk them. This time, in our third legend, we look at how the U.S. Postal Service inadvertently led to the creation of DC’s first all-humor comic book series.I would never dream of telling you that there is not a lot of government bureaucracy still out there that people have to deal with, as obviously, there clearly is. I saw it firsthand when my father had to make arrangements for my mother to get end of life care through Medicare. It was crazy how many hoops he had to jump through. So with that in mind, it’s crazy to think (but true) that most areas of the government’s bureaucracy used to be even MORE…well, you know, bureaucratic.However, things were a lot more bureaucratic in the 1940s, and in fact, for a while there, the Post Office used its broad discretion to make some likely unconstitutional decisions regarding what is and what is not “indecent,” and one of its decisions led, inadvertently, to the creation of DC’s first all-humor comic book series!
