The quote is from the radio show, which is here on The Internet Archive.
Yesterday I saw the movie "Artists and Models" and I can't believe that there is a movie about such an interesting topic as the controversy over how dangerous comics were in the USA in the 1950s with Martin and Lewis.
The worst thing is not that comics made children violent, as shown in the movie, but that, according to a "psychiatrist", Batman comics made children GAY because Batman and Robin.
As for the film, if the Hays Code hadn't existed, we would have had a romantic comedy about two gay artists surviving in New York. They literally talk about "divorce" and they are roommates. 🥲
It also struck me that both the cartoonist and the star comic character were women. The comic world is a very masculinized place, and you can see it by going around the Marvel fandom every time a movie comes out, and women who dedicate themselves to this medium are still very invisible. Female characters in comics do exist, but it is always the male characters that capture the attention of the majority of the public.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis pose while taking a shower at the El Mirador Hotel, 1952.
What's up guys, don't you shower with your best friend/coworker in a public bathroom sharing a jet and also ask a professional photographer to photograph you??? 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
There will be no second date, but now she know that Martin & Jerry existed canonically within the DC universe, not as comedians but as two friends who shared a bed and had adventures. In some issues, in which Jerry acted alone, he had cameos with various heroes and villains of the franchise.
And they were bedfellows...

Me after finding out that Romy Schneider probably had something with Lilli Palmer after filming Mädchen in Uniform.
Ann-Margret and Dean Martin pose with their respective pets and then Dean, clearly a dog person, awkwardly holds A-M's cat, photos taken on the set of the Columbia Pictures/Henry Levin spy comedy Murderer's Row, 1966.
Dean Martin, Ann-Margret, a dog and a cat. This is the most perfect Tumblr post.
Imagine you're criticizing me and I'm at home like this:
"Trapeze" (1956) be like:
x: Hey! I want to make a movie where there's a bisexual love triangle.
Hays Code: NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
x:...Imagine that the trapeze represents the love between two men.
