"Yeah.. but does it have a Bat-Pole?"

Just a Caption Quickie today .. got lots to do this week, some of which involves house shopping out of town. Sheesh, but that's an unpleasant process! You think people suffering under the financial weight of the "Gotta sell NOW!" buyer's market would appreciate me trying to lighten things up a bit with the odd "So... anyone die in this room? No? So, it's okay to have sex here, then?" comment.

People don't get me.

Anywhoo...

Always taking the joke a bit too far, Superboy razzes Tommy "Needledick" Baylor for the umpteenth time.
Busy, busy, busy!

It's Not Mind Reading

Sometimes you know what the artist left unsaid just based on the character's reactions. Case in point:

Man, that kid looks pissed!

Monday, Monday

What an odd week that was... Nothing to talk about here, but .. wow! (Wouldja believe we actually got some snow? That just added to the overall strangeness.)

Anyway, sorry for the delay. I should be back to the normal routine for now. At least for a while. So... let's return to the juvenile Superboy jokes!

Earlier That Morning...

"Plus, Ma said she'd give me the biggest slice of rhubarb pie!"

Ah, Clark! Your powers should be used for good! Go unscramble some late night Showtime, why dontcha? Sheesh!

Silver Age Time-Travel Catfight!! Whoo Hoo!

I know the pieces are there - the patterns were always the same.... But when you actually map it out...

Wow! It explains a lot!

And So...

The Gauntlet is Thrown...

Two can Play at this Game!

The Ante is Upped...

A Shocking Secret Revealed!

The Endgame is Near!

The Inescapable Finale!

*Whew!*

That used up a lot of images in the "Future" folder!

(Wonder if Booster Gold knows about this!)

Monday, Monday...

I can only hope all of your weekends were as good as mine was. Sadly though, it's back to the grind - such as it is.

A few things I thought I should mention since I've finally been going through some of my long overdue read pile:

The recent arc on Action Comics ("Escape from Bizarro World"), the one starting with #855 and the perfect-for-the-subject artwork by Eric Powell, is absolutely fantastic and one of the best modern Bizarro stories I've ever read. And this last issue - #856 - is almost perfect all by itself. I mean, Bizarro Mxyzptlyk ?!?! And that's not even close to the best idea Johns and Donner throw at you. Seriously - get this arc. I scared the dogs with my vocal outbursts while reading this.

Similarly, Joss Whedon is officially knocking his Runaways run out of the Fenway with this last issue. He gets these characters that have been so close to my heart since I first came across them oh, so many years ago. And speaking of vocal outbursts, I dare you not to laugh at a few of the character moments delivered with that certain Whedon dialog touch.

I've always wondered why more Kingpin level "Maggia-ish" Marvel villains didn't bother with *exactly* what The Hood is trying in New Avengers #35. It's a talking heads comic - but it has a lot of tension driving it. And it's downright evil. Super-villain evil. As it should be. Bendis is really making me think The Hood is a viable threat. And that's saying something for a Bendis character that really seemed forced on the reader from the get-go (I'm looking at you, Ronin! And not so there fast, Sentry!)and I dismissed ever since he was in Secret Wars XVII (part III), though I loved that series. It's a worthwhile comic, if you're into the current Marvel take on the two Avengers titles, and certain complaints aside (which I share, in part), a really good piece to the big picture.

Goddamn, is Booster Gold a good comic. And by good, I mean "Freckin' FUN!" I wish there was more Jonah Hex, though...

Whelp, I still have more to go through - so here some crappy photoshop 'till tomorrow:

Hee hee. Giggle worthy, that one is.
