Gone and Forgotten is a site, run by Jon Morris, that essentially ridicules and dissects obscure, cheesy and terrible comics. It's a pretty hilarious site that pokes fun at the silly, the bizarre (Krypto the super dog and Beppo the super monkey), the offensive (Fast Willie Jackackson), to the completely fucked up (Hansi : the Girl who Loved the Swastika).
'Hansi' is a story about a former Nazi turned Born Again Christian. She starts off as a young girl in the Sudentenland, goes on to become part of the Hitler Youth and :
Gone and forgotten goes on with the story of Hansi,
In the same vein is Superdickery. The site takes the 'Superman is a dick' joke and runs with it, almost to an obsessive extreme. Regardless of how nerdy the site is, this is pretty funny, some of the other images in the gallery are just disturbing.
Jon Morris, of 'Gone and Forgotten', also creates the strip 'Jeremy Just Turned Nine'. The current strip is the last for a while, but it's a gooder.

Hansi ends up as some kind of Gestapo Candy Striper, taunting injured German soldiers. "I lost MY ideals when I lost my eyes on the Russian front." says one poor kid. "We are nothing," snaps back Hansi, cheerfully, "The Reich is everything!"

Eventually Hansi ends up as a teacher in the Bavarian Alps, meets up with her old love Rudy, and they settle down and get married. Unfortunately, the marriage is rocky until they introduce the Bible into it. Kay, whatever floats their U-Boat. Then, inexplicably, Hansi and her family (kids invisibly appear along the way) decide to emigrate to America, but it turns out to not be as near as great a place as they'd heard.
Anyway, she sets up some kind of ex-Nazi self-pride Christian study group in various jails around the country. Wouldn't you?
