- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Fun fact: The back glass of the pinball game Capt Fantastic (which features Elton John from this scene) was designed by a neo-Nazi, and as such you can find Hitler and various other Nazi references in it. These were overlooked by management, because they also had several women with pronounced nipples in the audience. And we all know where American prudence will fall.
When the manufacturer realized how many nipples were visible, they changed the back glass to add stars over the some of the women's nipples, but they didn't do anything about Hitler et al. Most games have the revised back glass, but there are a few original glasses out there. (I've seen one in person. But Capt Fantastic is a pretty common game, and I've been to a lot of pinball shows, so having seen only one is a sign of how rare the originals are.)
Example of (reproduction) original back glass.. Check out the face under the "Ring my bells" sign! I think the face under the "Yankee go home" sign is also someone from the Third Reich.
