First off, the Amazing...Ask and you shall receive.<br /><br />First off, the Amazing Mets happened in 1969. You should remember that because amazing things occur when the number 69 is involved.<br /><br />Anyway, this was written 1966 and the Mets went 66 and 95 finishing 9th in the league (out of 10). So I assume they were not highly regarded.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-56474758767418638292009-09-16T10:08:17.004-05:002009-09-16T10:08:17.004-05:00"Cut your hair, you damn hippie!"
Yeah,..."Cut your hair, you damn hippie!"<br /><br />Yeah, I have zero idea what the point of the Beast panels were. Your guess is as good as mine. <br /><br />I think you're probably right about the Mets. Weren't the "Amazing Mets" the team that won in 1968?

If I remember correctly, the Mets were pretty terrible in the 60s. So maybe the writer was saying the Mets "only" being down by 5 runs is an improvement over most games.<br /><br />Secondly, that Beast/Random Dude encounter was hilariously random. Maybe it was a comment on the wacky hippy hairstyles of the 60s?<br /><br />Men with long hair! How outrageous! They look like girls from behind!Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.com
