"...remember this when the Great Disaster strikes, and you’re running around in denim cut-offs, fighting robot gangsters..."

Indeed.

Blog@Newsarama » What did Jack Kirby know, and when did he know it?:
"Jack Kirby filled his comics with a lot of futuristic, wacky and often brilliant ideas, but was he a conspiracy theorist? Kenn Thomas — a noted conspiracy theorist himself — seems to think so.

Hey, Kirby crafted the story “The Face on Mars” nearly 20 years before the mysterious rocky feature was even discovered. What more proof do you need?
...Sure, you scoff now. But remember this when the Great Disaster strikes, and you’re running around in denim cut-offs, fighting robot gangsters, tiger pirates and giant grasshoppers: You should’ve listened to Jack Kirby."

Jack Kirby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Jack Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg, August 28, 1917 – February 6, 1994) was one of the most influential, recognizable, and prolific artists in American comic books, and the co-creator of such enduring characters and popular culture icons as the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Hulk, Captain America, and hundreds of others stretching back to the earliest days of the medium. He was also a comic book writer and editor. His most common nickname is 'The King.'

...Kirby later produced other DC titles such as OMAC, Kamandi, The Demon, and, together with former partner Joe Simon for one last time, a new incarnation of the Sandman."
