Everything’s going to be copacetic. Bunz’s thigh-highs are securely back in place, marshmallows are toasting on an open camp fire… of smelly, smokey old tire… under the open sky, local fauna are aggressively foraging and plans are being laid for murderously unpleasant revenge. S’all good.
I also note the author’s good taste in declining, despite numerous opportunities, to indulge in cheap fanservice. Sa-lute!
Heh-heh… so bloodthirsty lli’l Bunz cringes like a schoolgirl at sight of a mere little rodent… and yet, way back in the first days of their invasion, while camping in the alley just after they lost their scout craft, they were actually dining upon “Roof-rabbits flambe.” So this particular rat must be one impressive rat, indeed. Maybe the junkyard rats have crossbred with the junkyard dogs? Ugh. that might explain why there are no impound attendants around…
For whatever it’s worth, I posted the June Calendar late Friday evening… It seems to have something to do with the Battle of Midway in 1942 and also my favorite old Warbird the Douglas SBD Dauntless…
By the way, I am aware that USN carrier Squadrons did not use Nose-Art… Though I do recall seeing a photo of Nose-Art on Joe Foss’s F4F Wildcat – but then he was a USMC pilot and a long way from authority flying out of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal…
Note* on the 7th (the final day of the Midway Battle) I uploaded a moderately revised Midway Calendar with Bunz possibly more appropriately attired in a fleece lined flight jacket and boots…

Incidentally, the “B3” on Bunz’ sleeve patch would indicate that this SBD is part of “Bombing 3” flying from the CV-5 Yorktown… In WWII, the Carrier Squadrons were normally numbered for their ship’s number, but the Yorktown’s squadrons had been chewed up during the Coral Sea Battle, so while she was being patched together at Pearl, most of the Yorktown’s squadrons (with the exception of Scouting 5) had been swapped for those from CV-3 Saratoga, as they’d been left behind at Pearl when the Sara returned to the States for repair of Torpedo damage…
Well it’s not the fall it’s the sudden stop at the end. Bunz looks like she’s anticipating some of that world shattering violence she’s always talking about at the end of her ride. Now how did Lil Bunz get aboard an Akagi-bound 500 pounder? Well, she must have been inspired by her favorite movie and decided to emulate her hero Major Kong. “Yee hah!” (Not sure how the bikini fits in but not complaining either.)
Actually, Bill, that’s just a flattened enlargement of the nose art on the Dauntless… Bunz herself wouldn’t be so dauntless, doubtless, durn it, in this disastrous dilemma.
I do imagine, however, that the ground-crew Michelangelo who painted that masterpiece might have suffered a direct hit on the schnozz if Bunz saw how he drew attention to her lack of… um, warheads…
I, sir, am a gentleman and refuse to be dragged into a public discussion of the lady’s… endowments. Poor creature was designed to be a Japanese anime action girl and most obviously did NOT get Gainaxed. The piece is entitled “Bouncing Bunz”. Eh? Come again. She’s pretty tightly put together so what’s “bouncing”? There is a pretty nice caboose on her though. I think she would be right at home in the bath scene of “You Only Live Twice”. OMG! I have been drawn into publicly discussing the lady’s endowments! You clever fiend!
There we have a perfectly fine old SBD Dauntless we could be talking about, perhaps even another rehash of the Battle of Midway and all of its ramifications but no – here we are objectifying poor little defenseless Bunz, who is nearly naked and looking like she’s starting to lose her altogether inadequate covering in the slipstream, with “tacky sexual innuendos”. Men – we’re such pond scum.
For whatever it’s worth, “Bouncin’ Bunz” was just a sort of spin-off on “Bouncing Betty” – because um… they both tend to go off explosively…
I have considered, since uploading the calendar, that Bunz might look better if she were also wearing an unzipped flight jacket – and whether I should add that to the pix? It does get a bit chilly at altitude…
As a dive bomber, the SBD had to start from a pretty high altitude over 10,000 feet and probably as high as 18000. The low-flying planes were the torpedo planes which it stayed very close to the ocean’s surface to make their runs.
G’day Bruce! What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China? The question of the moment is whether or not to clad the nearly peeled Bunz in a warm but concealing flight jacket! I say bikini or bust!
Also, least we forget, that June also marks the anniversary of the D-Day (the 6th) invasion, which helped to liberate Europe from tyranny.
I’ll be waiting to see what is in store for July.
Ahh… Way back in 1998 we did do an Operation Overlord Calendar – Heidi & Etsuko, those two feisty fascist Elves, “Surfing Omaha Beach”… Not the best calendar that I’ve ever cobbled together, but well…
My version, if I were an acceptable artist (which I am NOT!), has Cutey in her Corporal O’Hare uniform at the Normandy Beach Cematary, saluting our fallen heroes there.

While Katz finally gets to make the plan…

Actually, the bikini doesn’t really fit all that well!

Surely you jest, sir… a leather jacket on a nose-art cutie?
And I never knew that a heavy-loaded SBD was capable of much altitude…
Actually, I’d prefer a version sans bikini for that authentic WWII look… 😉
