Turnabout is Fair Play.

Oct 31, 2005 in Batman, Robin, What Were They Thinking

Ah-ah-ah! You forgot to say the “safety word”!

Here’s something until I can see why my initial post isn’t working.

Cruelty to Animals!

Oct 28, 2005 in The Flash, What Were They Thinking

Jay!

I know Joan isn’t “that kind of girl” but that doesn’t give you the right to accost poor unsuspecting cows!

The GA Flash Goes Places.

Oct 27, 2005 in The Flash, What Were They Thinking

Gotham may have had a loony dressed in a bat-suit, but Jay Garrick knew the real way to strike fear in the heart of criminals everywhere:

Give ‘em a little taste of prison life.

At super speed.

Making up for this week’s missed day.

Tony Stark Goes to Some Real Wild Parties.

Oct 27, 2005 in Iron Man, What Were They Thinking

You can’t see it, but I’m fanning myself right now.

And this was before they loosened the Comic Code!

Sorry about yesterday. Jim MacQuarrie was supposed to be covering for me. I hope he’s ok.

Here’s a Recent One…

Oct 25, 2005 in Batman, Robin, What Were They Thinking

From All-Star Batman & Robin, enlarged for your pleasure….

You can’t tell me that Miller and Lee didn’t do this on purpose.

Just look at the way Vickie Vale is staring at Bruce:

“Wait, you’ve had your eye on an underage boy in tights? Is that on
the record Mr. Wayne?”

The Flash Gets The Finger!

Oct 24, 2005 in The Flash, What Were They Thinking

Wait, when the owner of the hand says he’s “beating him with one finger”… what does he mean exactly?

Because going by the position of his hand and the expression on Barry’s face, I have to wonder.

Great Moments in Comic Book History!

Oct 21, 2005 in Iron Man, What Were They Thinking

I give you Iron Man # 68, the birth of The Infamous Nose

Why yes Mr. Stark, that nose is quite fearsome.

I fear that I may die of laughter.

He ended up getting rid of the stupid thing when some cosplayers mocked him about it at a comic con.

I’m serious.

Stop laughing.

This is classic stuff!

WHY ARE COMICS NOT THIS GOOD ANYMORE?

Fine. You all win (Big Scan Alert).

Oct 20, 2005 in Iron Man, What Were They Thinking

Since the prevailing Opinion seems to be that this morning’s scan was not funny… here’s a bonus:

From Tales of Suspense # 55

Okay, I give up.

You tell me: How the heck can the Mandarin tell if someone’s smiling through a suit of armor?

Especially when he’s looking at Iron Man’s profile!

No, this isn’t about The Falcon.

Now THAT’S a Diss.

Oct 19, 2005 in Batman, Deadman, Superman, What Were They Thinking

Taken from the issue that introduced Bruce Wayne’ s long lost brain-damaged
brother!

When a dead guy would rather sleep with your brother than you, that’s got to
be pretty hurtful.

Especially when he’s mentally stunted.

P.S.: Happy 20th anniversary to my friends Jim & Terri MacQuarrie!
