Let me tell you, young 'uns, child-raising was a bit different back in the day.

Take, for example, the post-WWII nuptials of a certain pair of heroes:

Well, with the Nazis defeated, there weren't that many good jobs around for super-heroes, so...

Uh-oh...


Well, it turns out that someone was a tiny bit...well, let's allow the caring and sensitive doctor tell us...

Well, that's got to be the worst of it, right?

"Don't ask us how. These things...happen." Really? I don't think that was an approved answer on any med school exam, doc!!

But fortunately, there is a compassionate and humane treatment available:

Yup, lock him in a capsule, bury him, and erect a building over him. Works every time. Or at least 50% of the time. Just don't ask how...these things happen.

Now, that's how you raise a kid--drop 'em in a hole in the ground, and check back in on 'em 25 years later!!

If nothing else, you save a ton on diapers that way...
