Most of the fun with this is doing the research: going through Google images looking for old WWII or Soviet posters, then adapting them by altering and adding text or images. Technically it's trivially easy, at least if you use Paint, so all you need is a good idea: if I can do it, anybody can. The "Panama Rules" one I did probably involved the most work, and it's just this anti-crime poster with a bit of the text altered and the image changed slightly:

Try www.photoshop.com - like Photoshop (and run by them) but free and online.

I was actually going for the You're only allowed to search once every 300 seconds or whatever. But this error message is so much more appropriate.

Picnik is also a free online photo editing service. They have more choices of fonts and other fun stuff than Photoshop's does, I think.

It's telling that a shitload of former paying members are now "Guest" in those threads. I hadn't seen them the first time around, but I felt the fallout.

I just fell in love with The Superhero's Dorothy/Oz poster. Love how everybody, including Toto, is labeled as a strawman--except the actual, y'know, strawman. The bottom qualifier was the perfect, sardonic coup de grace.

There are too many great ones to choose from, though I still adore Scissorjack's 'barn house'. I started hooting with laughter halfway through the pompous architectural blather.

I can't pick one favorite. They're all good.

I do especially like the wagon-circling one, though.
