Patrick Duffy´s Man From Atlantis Monday !

Okay, I can take a hint. I´ve been trying to finish up my latest spotlight post for comic master José Luis García - López but my browser keeps crashing so I have no other choice than to make another spin - off post and I chose THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS. Originally I wanted to wait until I have assembled enough good original comicbook art for a full blown post but it keeps decreasing instead of increasing so no time like the present.


And since Patrick Duffy just celebrated his 73rd anniversary let´s pay tribute to a tv series that explored the depths of the ocean many decades before Jason Momoa portrayed DC Comics king of Atlantis. Long before he voiced Steve Trevor on Justice League Patrick played another super hero, the only equivalent of Aquaman or Namor we were going to get on tv.


Yes, that´s right. I´m talking about the aquatic anachronism, the deep - sixed defender, the nomadic nautilus, the water warrior of the waves Mark Harris a.k.a. The Man From Atlantis which not only had a sadly short lived tv series but also a brief seven issue comic book series by Marvel.

I kinda liked The Man From Atlantis. It was not high entertainment - most stuff on tv at that time wasn´t - but despite the formulaic antagonism of the evil Schubert ( which for some reason never came up in music class ) it was entertaining and I was not too discerning as long as I got to see a super hero on tv. Or at least the tv producer´s version of a super hero.


You can read the first issue on DIVERSIONS OF THE GROOVY KIND ( and when I say the first issue this includes feature articles, pin ups and the letters page ), SPACE : 1970 has a cover gallery from that series plus the original black and white art for a Mark Harris pin up by the great Gene Colan, PLAIDSTALLIONS has some pages from the UK comic that was published in the Look - In magazine, for a lengthy article on Look - In visit Mark West´s STRANGE TALES website and last but not least the tv series is on ME TV list of 15 Forgotten Sci - Fi And Fantasy Series Of The 1970s.

WHEN IN ROME DO AS ROMANS or ANDERE LANDERS, ANDERE TITTEN 

Our first birthday for March the 17th is Patrick Duffy who turned 73 and is best known as Bobby Ewing in Dallaswhich featured just a plethora of hot babes like Stacy Sanchez, Michelle Johnson, Priscilla Presley, Coleen Camp, Charlene Tilton, Deborah Shelton, Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Carrera, Tracy Scoggins, Claudia Christian, Lesley Anne - Down, Victoria Principal, Janine Turner or Audrey Landers who together with her sister Judy Landers was one of the hottest commodities of that time. They knew how to squeeze their big talents and could have made a fortune working the stripper pole.


Before the Hilton sisters, Mother Nature blessed us with the stunning Landers sisters, and if you were a teen in the 1980s, the only crack you were on was the roughly twelve inches of cleavage shared between Judy Landers and her sister Audrey. They helped keep the boob in " boob tube " for over a decade, with appearances on nearly every hit tv show requiring a dyed - in - the - scalp blonde with the breast - busting bikini to match.


WHEN IN ROME DO AS ROMANS II : AUDREY LANDERS, JUDY`S TITTEN

The 80s gave us a lot of the Landers sisters, mostly on the small screen, where they were often fashioned in as little clothing as possible and even less dialogue. It's hard to imagine though, or it's hard when you imagine, just how famous older sister Audrey Landers became playing the perennial bubbly blonde for our perpetually perky peckers. The sexbombs dazzled us with their own brand of twin magic long before the Bellas arrived on the scene and I must confess I prefer their version of it since here we got two sexbombs for the price of one while Bree is just a poor version of Nikki since she got her boobs inflated to pornstarsize. But back to the Landers.


Both of these blow up sex dolls would have been perfect in a Little Annie Fanny movie since with their perfectly shaped breasts, butts that won´t quit, legs almost up to their chins plus their lean and fit tireless bodies they were born for porn and back in the 80s they were the hottest blonde double d combo everybody fantasized about as two thirds of a sandwich.

AUDREY AND JUDY : BORN FOR PORN ? A PLAYBOY SHOOTING BACKFIRES

In real life neither of them were but they clearly were unaware of the general public´s perception of them as the ultimate sex symbols. Proof of that is the fact that they did a very tasteful but non - nude ( and non - paying, so thanks for that ) PLAYBOY pictorial for publicity reasons only.


They thought it would help the direction of their career and that the roles they would be offered would change from cheerleaders to more mature roles. Of course the incredibly sexy pictures had just the opposite effect since a lot of people had not actually seen the pictorial and just assumed they had done nudity and so all of the roles they were offered had nudity.


Like I said, for two such incredible sexbombs it´s astounding that they managed to live a life without sex scandals and they are both married and have two kids, Audrey has twin sons and Judy has two daughters. There have been a few attempts to do a reality show with the sisters but their everyday life turned out to be too boring for the networks and since they refused to spice it up to get more viewers nothing ever came out of it.


There was more about the Landers sisters in a recent post but because that part got longer and longer I gave them their own cult siren entry .


Since there sadly never was a Man From Atlantis cartoon show I´m going for the next best thing. And because I could not find an original episode in good quality I picked one with the spanish dubbing, which is more entertaining anyway. This is the first episode so we get the full origin story of Prince Namor of Atlantis, the Avenging Son. Imperious Rex !


Now with so many unfinished posts I don´t have the time - nor the space - to go over all of the celebrity birthdays but those that feel so inclined can go back and check out the anniversaries of notice from March the 17th to April the 1st in this Arthur Adams spotlight post from 2019.


I´M GOING LOCO FOR COCO´S GIANT - SIZED ( 39DD !!! ) COCONUTS

But let´s get to the reason why guys really read my posts opening our litany of brabusting buxom celebrity birthday babes on March the 17th.


Can I say that I really envy rapper Ice - T ? Not only is he an award winning musician, iconic rapper and accomplished actor he also is married to a real life blow up sex doll Busenwunder Nicole " Coco " Austin, who turned 43.


Coco is the personified wet dream of every black man : a white sex freak built like a sister with an ass that just won´t quit who openly confessed to being a deepthroat nymphomaniac and jumping her man from behind the sofa as soon as he comes home to dicktame his pulsating manhood.


And you don´t have to wonder who was the inspiration for lyrics like :

My dick was harder than a bulletproof vest when she started pourin baby oil on her 39DD chest. Now, I ain't no sucker on the weak tip but let me tell you, she was on some motherfuckin sex trip. She spread her legs better than a fillipino hooker, then she did a backflip, landed on my dick, faster than I could say " No ! " It was like a rodeo. I was with a sex nut, she sweated and she grinned with delight, this girl had crazy plans for the night. This girl tried to kill me, put me to the test, took me within a inch of my life, rode me like the Wild West, I came so hard almost passed out.

Since she looks like the original Bart Sears Power Girl with her 39DD - 23 - 45 measurements I cast her in that role in the first part of the Subzero edition of my Casting the Justice League of America movie post series .


Speaking of the b - word, Brittany Daniel turned 46 whom most people know from Joe Dirt, Joe Dirt 2, It´s Always Sunny In California, Just Shoot Me !, Club Dread, That 70´s Show, That 80´s Show or Dawson´s Creek but for me she will always be the buxom blonde twin who saved my summer

Longtime readers may remember my post from my return to Spain and how far away from everything it is back home. I don´t know if it was during the time when my mother tried to get me to cold turkey comics but one year there was really not much on tv and as I had already read all the books and comics I had brought from my last trip to civilization so I was starving for entertainment in form of movies and tv especially involving hot women .


Unfortunately my parents had the control over the remote at that time so the only chance to wrestle it away from them was while they were making dinner. Which meant I was stuck with prime time tv shows which were not really known for including a lot of scantily clad girls. You have to remember this was pre - 24h nonstop tv and naked chicks going at it on HBO. But as fate would have it I discovered Sweet Valley High, which would have been your average teen show if not for the fact that it had two incredibly hot blonde sexbombs with hardbodies that make guys go crazy as the main protagonists who were twins to top things off. Brittany played Jessica Wakefield while her real twin sister Cynthia Daniels - whom you might know from her role in The Basketball Diaries with Leonardo DiCaprio -


played Elizabeth Wakefield. This show really helped me through some rough ( and hard ) times and on some days a scene with Brittany / Cynthia in a hot outfit - or even better - a bikini was the highlight of that day.

Since they are twins they celebrate their birthday on the same day so I want to be fair ( especially since I can´t be sure who wore which outfit in which scene and both are damn hot ). Thanks for the mammaries to both.


FROM ITALY WITH LOVE - SABRINA PUTS THE BOUNCE IN FORMEL EINS

Now with our next candidate I have a love / hate relationship because on one side you have to acknowledge that Peter Illmann - who turned 63 - was indeed the music tv presenter of the first hour years before Mtv and VIVA would appear on german tv screens. On the other hand it means I have to talk about Formel Eins which was the worst music show. But it was the only one we had ( if you don´t count Die Deutsche Hitparade which mainly played Schlager music ) so we had to bear the horror of it.


Peter Illmann was the first host and he was kind of a mack daddy although that only evolved over time. Still, he was not the best host. That dubious honor belongs to his replacement, Ingolf Lück who innovated the show by turning his introductions of the various musical acts and music videos ( they showed both ) into little sketches. It was only downhill after he left as they got their first female presenter Stefanie Tücking who was much too tame for this kind of show and she then handed the reigns over to Kai Böcking who was completely clueless. I remember that in his first show he had Sabrina Salerno as a guest and she was just too much woman for him.


Sabrina was mostly known for two things ..... well, actually three things : the twins ( obviously ! ), lots of wardrobe malfunctions of the tiniest outfits that were riding up or wet t - shirts and see - through bikinis.


At the time Sabrina Salerno, the cult siren with the obligatory bouncing action was at the height of her popularity in Germany thanks to her worldwide number 1 smash hit Boys Boys Boys ( which was especially popular in those countries that showed the uncensored version of her video where her tiny bikini top could not contain the singing sexbomb´s huge melons ) and various articles in teen publications like Bravo and Popcorn and nude pictorials in adult men´s magazines like Penthouse.


So they had to invite her to Formel Eins which was the music tv for german teenagers. The show was a total train wreck, they always cut the videos because the producer of the show was in Bavaria and they are very catholic and prudish down there. When Sabrina was there as a guest they didn´t play her video and told her she had to do a live performance. Which was obviously more than they bargained for because Sabrina began to shake rattle and roll her boobs up and down like there´s no Tomorrow.


Of course they were appalled but they could not do anything against it. The camera man tried to prevent the worst by doing a lot of close ups and just filming Sabrina´s head but as you can see it didn´t help that much.


But she really got famous through her New Year´s performance on spanish tv in 1988 where she sang her song HOT GIRL and her breasts got out of control and popped out of her top. In Germany they would have censored it but the spanish tv immediately put it on a loop and kept showing it in slow motion during her live performance. It is her best known clip ever.


Coming back to Formel Eins, while Kai Böcking did the most shows with 120 episodes they ultimately had to cancel it because of the upcoming competition of Mtv and VIVA who showed all music video in full and not only one per show. By that time Peter Illmann was no longer on tv although after leaving Formel Eins he did two other music programs, P.I.T. - Peter Illmannns Treff and Peter´s Pop Show which were successful for a while.


As for Sabrina " Bouncing Action " Salerno, I wrote her first cult siren entry way back in 2014 with annual re - posts in 2015 , 2016 and in 2017 where I always tried to do the ultimate version adding little things here and there.


After this rather lengthy submersion into the depths of 80s pop music we return to the topic of Today with DC Comics King Shark whom you might have seen in The Suicide Squad - not Suicide Squad, we try to forget that.


Now I could say that the following video is a service to all my female readers ( as if I have any ) so they can get more play out of their bikinis and so save some money since I know that money´s always too tight to mention - especially in these troubled times - but the truth is that Ellie is just built like a shit brick wall and I wanted to post this as irrefutable truth for the next time some feminist or SJW tells me women like those I draw don´t exist and are just the imagination of my sick and perverted mind. To paraphrase Agent Fox Mulder : the Power Girls are out there !


Speaking of tv shows and mysteries, does anybody remember the german - austrian - swiss - czechoslovakian science fiction show On The Way To Atlantis ( Unterwegs nach Atlantis ) ? I seem to remember it vaguely.


What I remember more than vaguely is Hans Albers singing La Paloma in the german cult classic Große Freiheit Nr. 7 ( ein Spezialpreis geht an den Ersten der weiß aus welchem Film das folgende Zitat ist : " Kein Zahn im Maul aber in der Kirche La Paloma pfeifen. " ) as it is always one of the first things that come to mind when I am thinking about going out to sea.


If you think that the following thumbnail looks different you are right. The video I posted previously has already been taken down. But that´s one of the benefits of working on a post for so long, you have enough time to find new videos to replace the old ones in case they have been deleted.


From king sharks we come to killer whales with Joe Bob Briggs Monstervision episode on the cult fright flick Orca from 1977.


Apropos cult ocean dwellers, go ride a sea horse Aquaman, get busy banging Mister Fantastic´s wife Namor and get out of the way Mark Harris because there is a new hero who rules the sea and he hails from Bikini Bottom. What´s more, he has his own version of Aquaman and Aqualad.


Yes, in Germany SpongeBob Squarepants is called SpongeBob Spongehead.


For my german readers here is a documentary about all the facts, half truths and legends surrounding the mythical sunken continent of Atlantis.


Now since Große Freiheit Nr. 7 is probably going to get deleted again before I can finish this post I am adding two additional videos to the movie section. And the reason why I am adding two videos is that is kind of a double feature since not only does Braandon Tenold cover Yeti : Giant Of The 20th Century in his Cult Movie Review, I also found the full movie. 


What you make of this is up to you. If you prefer to know what you are getting yourself into and watch the review first so you know what to look out for or if you don´t want spoilers and watch the movie first and then the review to find out what the heck you just watched it will be great.
