I think they might get a better response if they made a dino comic book. T-Rex will attract all the minorities...

Yeesh

This is a joke, right?

No way. Graphic novels are read by all the kids who are hip and with it these days.

Ugh.

"The Navy's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We're keepin' it real, and we're gonna get respect by any means necessary."

Hands down the worst idea since singing at parades.

Hhaahahah I totally forgot about that... we only had to do that a couple times my plebe year but that went out the door immediately after.

Oh, come on, that's a load of horseshit. Lando Calrissian was a black guy, he got to fly the Millennium Falcon!

Always some Squid gotta invoke the Holy Trilogy.

Another dubious comic idea was the Japanese manga comics the Navy decided to distribute to prepare for a nuclear carrier coming to Japan.

But yes, the Navy will be better served with the likes of T-Rex and Utahraptor, cause they speak the truth.

You should send the Commandant (that's what they call the top guy there right?) some T-Rex work and you will most definitely get some TAD orders up there for a 7 part series.

What is the story behind that?

 

[cfam]

the last superintendent, Adm Rempt, loved singing. He thought it promoted "brigade unity and spirit." So we sang naval academy fight songs at every mandatory brief and parade. I think the announcement at every parade was something like, "In order to demonstrate teamwork and unity, the brigade of midshipmen will now sing for you." I could hear alumni laughing from the reviewing stand. The current superintendent did away with the singing as soon as he turned over.

And no one ever knew the lyrics unless it was Anchor's Away or The Goat is Old and Gnarly. True story.
