Who would have thought that in such a innuendo laden poll that Portable Hole would be the most popular choice? Thankfully the Rod of Splendor and Holy Avenger tied at second place, but I was still very surprised that the ever vigilant Immovable Rod didn’t attract more people.

On a quest today to educate Bartoneus on the wonders of Hostess Fruit Pies, I came across this awesome archive of all the real Hostess Fruit Pie comic ads from the 70’s and 80’s. I could probably spend hours basking in their ridiculousness. And don’t forget that they can stop all manner of villain!
