Reading Marvel Comics in the 1990s, Charles Atlas was still just enough part of American culture that parodies appeared of its classic advertisement about a bully at the beach "Hey, quit kicking that sand in our faces!"[0]. I recall "Hey, quit kicking our faces!" and "Hey, quit kicking Sandman in our faces!" Long shot, but if any HN readers have an encyclopedic Marvel Comics knowledge and could find those two parodies, I’d be grateful.

- conception 3y agoI’d check an archive of “What the?” - https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/What_The--%3F!_Vol_1 https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/What_The--%3F!_Vol_1 If anywhere would have had it I’d guess it would have.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoThanks, that sounds about right. Wikipedia's article for What The--?! has: > What The--?! hosted a number of fake advertisements that made fun of classic comic book advertisements such as Charles Atlas
