Femaleness

Mar 30, 2007 in Sexism, Thor, What Were They Thinking

“and had I been a male that would have not intrigued me in the least. However, as I have ovaries I am clearly an easy mark, so here I am! Pass the salt.”

Last post not up to snuff. Here’s a bonus.

Oh Do You Then?

Hello, sailor!

Okay, so the rest of the thought balloon is “’cause he was always a big tipper!”, but really, for a second there I was a bit taken aback.

Going to be offline next Monday-Wednesday for Pessach (Passover to the Gentiles in the room). Sir James MacQuarrie will be my proxy poster during that time. Thanks again Jim.

It Actually Gets Worse.

More fun win the “Enchanted Rod of Wondrous Wizard Power” than one would think possibleÂ…

You see it too, right? She’s stroking the dang thing!

This really could not be more wrong.

The Who of What Now?

Mar 28, 2007 in Freudian Images, Thor, What Were They Thinking

Maybe I’m just dirty.

But the way she’s grasping the “Enchanted Rod of Wondrous Wizard Power” is making me uneasy.

Two for Tuesday: Gratuitous Male Flesh Edition.

1. I’ve Read Hitchhiker’s Guide One Time Too Many.

Otherwise I would not find this scene as amusing as I do..

You know your All-Fathership, it might be easier to have an undisturbed bath if thee locked thy door.

You have to love the look on the towel guy’s face. He just cries out for a thought balloon of some sort.

2. The Dreaded Absorbing Man.

The Absorbing Man scares me.

“Mommy, what happened to that man’s nipples?”
“Shh… he’ll hear you and kill us all!”

The Hulk Is Utterly Savage.

The caption really sells that one, don’t it?

Jane Foster: Pushover

Mar 23, 2007 in Creepy Relationships, Sexism, Thor, What Were They Thinking

Men everywhere wish they had a significant other more like Jane FosterÂ…

That’s right, snap at the gimp.

“Tell me again about my eyes!”

She swallows it hook line and sinker. Watch the sudden turn around from the angry woman in panel one!


Way to stand your ground Jane!

Let us leave our young not-yet-lovers nowÂ…

Yes, because that’s a healthy dynamic for a relationship right there folks!

Not Bronchitis.

I have over 101 fever and both an ear and a resperatory infection.

FUN!

Insanely Bad Science

Mar 22, 2007 in Bad Science, Thor, What Were They Thinking

This may top all the bad science in any DC comic ever.


The sound you hear is my brain starting to overheat.

Thor is, of course, completely talking through his helmet. He’s a Norse God. What knowest he of anti-matter? He’s totally bluffing.

“Mayhap if I spin mine magic hammer, I can convince them I knowest what I am doingÂ…”

WaitÂ… it gets betterÂ…

ItÂ… works.

Me need take lay down. Synapses go snapy.

I feel lousy. Like I have bronchitis.

Hey, a Girl Can Dream, Right?

Mar 21, 2007 in Sexism, Thor, What Were They Thinking

Jane Foster fantasizes about being married to ThorÂ…

Innocent enough, yes?

That, on the other hand, is seven shades of wrong.

“Thy nagging is endless woman! I am a warrior of Asguard, not a strutting fop!”

Note that Thor is rocking the short pants in Jane’s fantasy. That’s a different look for him, no?

Okay, so Jane Foster’s concept of being in a wife is to essentially be a nursemaid?

A nurse with Florence Nightingale Syndrome. Go figure.
