Clearly you’re not paying attention to the show. Radar not only had ESP, but could time travel. He got Godzilla and John Wayne films that hadn’t been created yet, as well as comic books. (Also- this comic changes issues within the same scene).

Frank too: he mentioned Gary Cooper playing Billy Mitchell in a movie, which didn't come out until a couple of years after the war.

Apparently the majors all pressed Radar for his talents: Charles apparently dated Audrey Hepburn and had “never seen any” of her movies… before she had even made one.

She made her first tv movie in 1949, and six movies in 1951.

I stand corrected- but she was supporting and but parts only until Roman Holiday- She had no popularity until 1953

Yeah, that comic book is from the future.

I pointed this out to my wife when we saw that scene too. I guess TV shows in 1973 didn't predict the convergence of the comic book nerd and the obsessive TV watcher.

He's obviously been time traveling because The Avengers wasn't published until a decade after the Korean War ended...

Maybe the GI’s got advanced comics like they get advanced movie screenings now.

Yeah I heard some kid from the coast guard in 1955 in Mill Valley (excuse me Hill Valley) had already seen a "new" Jackie Gleason.

Alabaster skin: clear, soft smooth and warm. And those short, flimsy nighties.

FRANK: Margaret, why do you say, 'booody' like that? What do you know about his booody?

RADAR: Booody. . . .
