The below panel helped me see a certain robotocist in a new light.
Okay, aside from the whole Pygmalion deal going on here, you have to love Will Magnus’ idea of a real woman – pleading and subservient.
In case you think I’m reaching:
And to think, I used to wonder why Doc Magnus was still single.

“..And that’s to take my shirt off!”
Woo-hoo! Take it off Rip!

More like laughter, actually.
I can’t even type his name. I’m laughing too hard.
Still, I did love his JLU appearance. That was neat.

Wth titles like this, how can we not consider it the Golden Age?
You couldn’t get away with this nowadays.
Of course, you couldn’t get away with the following either:
Okay, so maybe there’s a drop of tarnish….

Meet the Switch brothers, AC and DC. Good names, yes, but not as good as their invention:
Twenty years of research to build the ultimate personal massager!
DC’s sure an eager beaver, isn’t he?
Aug 24, 2006 in Captain Marvel, Spanking, What Were They Thinking
1.
Okay, DC doesn’t have a monopoly on spanking.
I guess the Kinkyness of Zeus came with the “Z”.
2.
Marveldickery!
Nice. Those bankrobbers steal a couple of thousand dollars, tops. Marvel, on the other hand, is causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
And I bet it’s the only bridge into town, too.
3.
Least Subtle Panel EVER.
Really, there ought to be an award.
Gee, I wonder what they mean?

So Billy Batson’s boss is showing him around. That’s nice, isn’t it?
Why is the old man taking the little boy to Lover’s Leap?
“Come Billy, I’ll show you a real cave of winds.”
Won the Avatar contest at CBR again, thanks to Hal Jordan’s mysogony. Trying to think of a new theme. I’m thinking “strong” women. You know, characters that are supposed to be feminist but miss the whole point? That, or spanking.

Captain Marvel’s life is full of peril, isn’t it?
Yes, I can certainly see why he was the most popular character of his day.
Aug 21, 2006 in Bad Science, Captain Marvel, What Were They Thinking
Here’s a pretty odd sequence:
Okay, this starts really well. Suspenseful, even.
Wow. Awesome image.
And then, it falls apart.
Bats… don’t… have… stingers.
Now BUGS, they have stingers.
I guess the source of data they used was Calvin’s school paper.

Alex Ross’s Justice is an awesome comic. Really it is. I hope there’s an oversized trade of it eventually.
But this page is just wrong.
Superman’s been sending Billy signals.
And boy oh boy has he been responding!
In case you don’t see it, here’s a close up!
Kal-El’s pose of horror is what sells this for me.
“Please, Roa, tell me that’s Mr. Mind in there!”
