Monday PSA: They Were First
March 12th, 2007
Do you recognize the name Galen?
What about Zacharias Janssen?
Or René Laennec?
How about the brothers Peter and Peter Chamberlen?
If these names don’t sound familiar, I recommend you take a look at today’s PSA “They Were First” from Ben Casey #3 (June 1963). And to quote Bill Cosby, “If you’re not careful, you might learn something before it’s done.”

Ok, I’m a little disturbed by the inclusion of the first Pete and Pete one. Something to do with 2 Nickelodeon characters delivering a baby in 16th century France, I think.

Ooh. Galen is Galactus’ real name, no?

“…the very first man to judge the health of a patient by his pulse.”
His pulse? HIS pulse?
Is it really too much to expect that the text and the art will match?

Ooh. Galen is Galactus’ real name, no?
And that of Prince Valiant’s second son, if I remember correctly. (Which, I guess, makes a bit more sense….)
