    Bill Boyd Western (1950-1952 Fawcett) comic books. Movie cowboy Bill Boyd is best known for playing Hopalong Cassidy. He starred as himself in the tales of Western adventure.


    This was way before my time. I never heard of Bill Boyd Western until now. The cover that you see is issue number one.

    Inside the book, it reads: Bill Boyd and the Bullion Bandits. Out of the west he came.. His skin tanned his body and his shooting hand steady! Bill Boyd Western Hero, the very symbol of law and order! Pitted against him, on the other side of the law, are four other deadliest killers in the whole west. When these two forces clash, the air is filled with an ominous cloud of death kicked up by blazing six shooters.

    Sounds like an interesting western tale for a comic book. The cover art looks as if it can come alive. To see and read more of the story, go to digitalcomicmuseum.com. You're listening to Jasper lines. I am your host, Gail Nobles.

    Today's topic is Muhammad Ali. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Jasperlines. You know that Muhammad Ali was the greatest of all time. He boxed in the ring and was a great poet. When he said he "handcuffed lightning and throwed thunder in jail", he told the truth in disguise. He was one of the greatest boxers in history and would boast that he was a bad man. Ali was also a great entertainer.

    I love his poem how he said he wrestled an alligator. I don't know if there is a title to the poem, but his lines of poetry are greatly remembered. Newspapers would print headlines about him in giant size letters: CLAY WINS. I'm thinking about the Detroit Free Press newspaper how they would write something about Ali’s fist being as big as his mouth back in 1964, in little print, under a photo of him. it's fun to go back and look at some of the old newspaper clippings.

    I miss seeing Muhammad Ali on television. Howard Cosell would interview Muhammad Ali many times.

    Howard Cosell would say something like: What are you going to do to George Foreman?

    Muhammad Ali would say something like: You’re not as dumb as you look.

    They would joke around with each other. I miss Howard Cosell too and his broadcasting.

    I'm Gail Nobles remembering Muhamnad Ali on the Jasper Lines.

    Are you familiar with the sport Bossaball? is a team sport that originated in Brazil. It is a ball game between two teams, combining elements of volleyball, football, and gymnastics with music into a sport. It is played on an inflatable court featuring a trampoline on each side of the net.[2] The trampolines allow the players to bounce high enough to spike the ball over the net.

    Now hear are the rules. A Bossaball game is played between two teams of four players. The aim is for each team to ground the ball on the opponent's field. The height of the net in between both fields can be adjusted for different levels, such as professionals, intermediates, beginners, or children. Players are not allowed to touch the net and always have to remain with at least one body part on their own side.

    One player (the attacker) is positioned on the trampoline, and the others are around him/her on the inflatables. A player from the serving team (the server) throws or kicks the ball into the air and attempts to hit the ball so it passes over the net on a course such that it will land in the opposing team's court (the serve). The opposing team must make a combination of no more than five contacts with the ball to return it to the other side of the net. These contacts can be exercised using any body part. Points can be made either by scoring or by an opponents error.

    Sounds like Bossaball can be fun. You’re listening to The Jasper Lines. I’m your host, Gail Nobles.
