Re: The official website of Charles Atlas
#2Reading Marvel Comics in the 1990s, Charles Atlas was still just enough part of American culture that parodies appeared of its classic advertisement about a bully at the beach "Hey, quit kicking that sand in our faces!"[0]. I recall "Hey, quit kicking our faces!" and "Hey, quit kicking Sandman in our faces!" Long shot, but if any HN readers have an encyclopedic Marvel Comics knowledge and could find those two parodies, I’d be grateful.

I’d check an archive of “What the?” - https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/What_The--%3F!_Vol_1
If anywhere would have had it I’d guess it would have.

Thanks, that sounds about right. Wikipedia's article for What The--?! has:
> What The--?! hosted a number of fake advertisements that made fun of classic comic book advertisements such as Charles Atlas

Internet Archive have copies of the website as early as 1999. Way back before surfing on iPhone was a thing (before the iPhone at all was a thing).

This was still what it was like to surf the web with a Nokia in 2000, you mean.

#9Without re-igniting the "should you use tables for layout" debate, this is a great look at masterful use of tables for layout. It also reminds me how much we used to use images as part of a great website. Been a long time since I've seen map and areas used for nav bars! It manages to be both glorious and terrible at the same time. It's probably just nostalgia warping my memories, but man I miss the early web.
