    Bill Boyd Western (1950-1952 Fawcett) comic books. Movie cowboy Bill Boyd is best known for playing Hopalong Cassidy. He starred as himself in the tales of Western adventure.


    This was way before my time. I never heard of Bill Boyd Western until now. The cover that you see is issue number one.

    Inside the book, it reads: Bill Boyd and the Bullion Bandits. Out of the west he came.. His skin tanned his body and his shooting hand steady! Bill Boyd Western Hero, the very symbol of law and order! Pitted against him, on the other side of the law, are four other deadliest killers in the whole west. When these two forces clash, the air is filled with an ominous cloud of death kicked up by blazing six shooters.

    Sounds like an interesting western tale for a comic book. The cover art looks as if it can come alive. To see and read more of the story, go to digitalcomicmuseum.com. You're listening to Jasper lines. I am your host, Gail Nobles.

    Today's topic is Muhammad Ali. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Jasperlines. You know that Muhammad Ali was the greatest of all time. He boxed in the ring and was a great poet. When he said he "handcuffed lightning and throwed thunder in jail", he told the truth in disguise. He was one of the greatest boxers in history and would boast that he was a bad man. Ali was also a great entertainer.

    I love his poem how he said he wrestled an alligator. I don't know if there is a title to the poem, but his lines of poetry are greatly remembered. Newspapers would print headlines about him in giant size letters: CLAY WINS. I'm thinking about the Detroit Free Press newspaper how they would write something about Ali’s fist being as big as his mouth back in 1964, in little print, under a photo of him. it's fun to go back and look at some of the old newspaper clippings.

    I miss seeing Muhammad Ali on television. Howard Cosell would interview Muhammad Ali many times.

    Howard Cosell would say something like: What are you going to do to George Foreman?

    Muhammad Ali would say something like: You’re not as dumb as you look.

    They would joke around with each other. I miss Howard Cosell too and his broadcasting.

    I'm Gail Nobles remembering Muhamnad Ali on the Jasper Lines.

    Are you familiar with the sport Bossaball? is a team sport that originated in Brazil. It is a ball game between two teams, combining elements of volleyball, football, and gymnastics with music into a sport. It is played on an inflatable court featuring a trampoline on each side of the net.[2] The trampolines allow the players to bounce high enough to spike the ball over the net.

    Now hear are the rules. A Bossaball game is played between two teams of four players. The aim is for each team to ground the ball on the opponent's field. The height of the net in between both fields can be adjusted for different levels, such as professionals, intermediates, beginners, or children. Players are not allowed to touch the net and always have to remain with at least one body part on their own side.

    One player (the attacker) is positioned on the trampoline, and the others are around him/her on the inflatables. A player from the serving team (the server) throws or kicks the ball into the air and attempts to hit the ball so it passes over the net on a course such that it will land in the opposing team's court (the serve). The opposing team must make a combination of no more than five contacts with the ball to return it to the other side of the net. These contacts can be exercised using any body part. Points can be made either by scoring or by an opponents error.

    Sounds like Bossaball can be fun. You’re listening to The Jasper Lines. I’m your host, Gail Nobles.

    Gandhi’s Spiritual Message 3:29:23 10.09 PM

    Speech: Gandhi - His Spiritual Message to the World, 17 October 1931.
    Speech by: Gandhi

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi

    Ghandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist. Employing nonviolent resistance, he led the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.
    Mahatma means great-souled.


    Mahatma can refer to any great person; in India, it is used as a title of love and respect.
    To me, Gandhi seemed like a holy man and very intelligent. I’m going to play one of his speeches titled, “ Mahatma Ghandi’s Spritual Message to the World”, recorded Oct. 1931. Listen.


    Gandhi: "There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything, I feel it though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses. But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to a limited extent. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules or why and how He rules and yet they know that there is a power that certainly rules. ….."

    Today’s discussion in question is How About a Movie for the Yellow kid?

    Hi, I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to the Jasper Lines. How about a movie for the Yellow Kid?

    The Yellow Kid is an American comic strip character that appeared from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. Created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip Hogan's Alley (and later under other names as well), it was one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper, although its graphical layout had already been thoroughly established in political and other, purely-for-entertainment cartoons. Outcault's use of word balloons in the Yellow Kid influenced the basic appearance and use of balloons in subsequent newspaper comic strips and comic books.

    The Yellow Kid was a bald, snaggle-toothed barefoot boy who wore an oversized yellow nightshirt and hung around in a slum alley typical of certain areas of squalor that existed in late 19th-century New York City. Hogan's Alley was filled with equally odd characters, mostly other children. With a goofy grin, the Kid habitually spoke in a ragged, peculiar slang, which was printed on his shirt, a device meant to lampoon advertising billboards.

    There were other versions of the Yellow Kid. He made an appearance in Marvel Universe.Of course with Marvel, he had powers. He could discharge some type of yellow energy. That was their version of Yellow Kid. There were other versions of him too.

    The Yellow Kid was an interesting character. How about a movie for the Yellow Kid. I think he would make a good one. Marvel’s version of the Yellow Kid is a good idea. Their version would fit into today’s cartoons.

    The Blood Moon
    Nov 9 2022
    Hi! I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the Jasper Lines. The Bible said that the sun shall be turned into darkness in the book of Joel 2:31. It gets darker earlier in the evening. Sometimes it seems like it does more and more.

    And the Bible said the moon would turn into blood. It sounds like light in the sun & moon will fail. I suppose the moon will have a blood - like appearance.

    According to the book of Genesis, God made the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. According to Amos 5:18, the day of the Lord is darkness. And the day of the Lord seems to be getting near.
