June 1st...The Heimlich Maneuver and Other Stories

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 171. This time we examine the year 1947 as the Doomsday Clock is introduced, 1965 (???) as Oscar the Grouch is born, 1974 as the Heimlich Maneuver is first introduced, and 1938 as Superman first appears in Action Comics No. 1.
