Avengers featured in a M*A*S*H faux pas

I've noticed a gaffe in my favorite TV show of all-time for many years now -- something only a true Marvelite could catch. Check out these two images of "Radar" O'Reilly asleep in his cot:


See what that red arrow is pointing at? Look closely. Yep, that's an issue of Avengers #60 from 1969. Check it:


So tell me: How can Radar be reading a comic from at least sixteen years in the future?? (The Korean War lasted from 1950-1953.)

Radar can hear a chopper coming long before it even shows up. Maybe there's more to his superpowers than we ever realized. :)

I wonder if this happened any of the other times he's seen with a comic book.

Hm, cool find.

I think it was Klinger who often wore a Texas Rangers cap...20 years before the expansion Senators moved to Arlington.

I remember taking noticing of that a few years back, only a true believer spots those things!
