The Titans are trying to break-up an annual beach rave (really, they use the term) that always ends in a “rumble” between two rival schools.
First they try to be hip to the whole school scene by wearing letter sweaters.
Really.
Oh yeah, I see what the kid on the right is saying. Those purple sweaters totally distract from the tights, capes, and cowls.
The Titans impassioned plea for civility falls on deaf ears though?
“Full of gumdrops”? Really?
He’s a PiƱata!

In ASM #82, Peter and Gwen are dating. MJ, shameless flirt that she is portrayed as at this time, continues to make passes at Peter.
This is okay with Peter. Gwen also seems to take it in stride, despite catty joking (they’re supposed to be bestest buds).
What is not, apparently, okay, is for someone to hit on the very single MJ in front of Peter.
So? it’s okay for a girl to flirt with an attached guy, but not for an unattached guy to flirt with an unattached girl?
I’m so confused!

Beast Boy is very upset.
He’s off to show Larry that he’s as good a D.P.er as the next guy.
How?
Okay, yeah, I’m trying to think of anything freakier than D.P.ing your foster mom. It’s a short list.

The below panel utterly broke my Suspension of Disbelief.
If you think anyone is going to tip a NY cabbie that little and live to tell about it, you’ve never actually taken a cab.

This is painful to look at?
Scant seconds later, the Titans fell to their death as the non-invulnerable Wonder Girl’s hair (and a lot of skin) was violently torn out of her scalp.

Actually, no. Lots of lizards live in arid environments. Crocodilians, which is what The Lizard most resembles, would be mostly aquatic, yes. But they aren’t lizards.
So say it with me kids, all lizards are reptiles, but not all reptiles are lizards!

Documents To Go is refusing to open again. It’s an odd bug that happens whenever I sync from my laptop, then my home machine or vice versa – I have to reinstall the prc files before it will open. Very odd.
In other news, awesome friend Merey is sending us a used digital camera. YAY!
Also, our new pet bunny got behind the computer desk and chewed through the phone wire. Little thing is lucky she didn’t get electrocuted.
Comics later.

In Showcase #59, the Teen Titans meet “The Flips”, a “hip” band (dig it, daddy-o).
This story has been already been mocked on the web, but I just have to include this one page.
I love the continuing “realistic” teen/guardian interaction.
I am also amused by the fact that they have television in Atlantis and on Paradise Island. How exactly does that work? They’re hidden secret societies? but they get the basic networks?
Then of course, there’s that last panel.
I’m sure “ride a double” means something completely innocent, but I’m going to pretend otherwise ? especially because it’s coming from a creation of William “Swinger” Marston.

Betty Brant is almost as self-absorbed as Peter Parker.

“They keep putting their lives in danger? WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?!”
