This is the most unladylike power ever.

Although you have to love how Mal’s archfoe is actually his girlfriend. Karen creates a costumed identity t give Mal a hard time as “payback” for his spending so much time with the Titans.

Don’t you hate getting crap from your significant other for being out with the guys?

Spidey is Homo-mermanus-phobic.

I can see the Daily Bugle Headline now… “Spider-Man: Racist or Bigot?”

Peter masks his hatred of women with jokes.

“Yeah, a woman. ’cause that’s woman’s work! HAW!”

Mal Duncan eventually got an inferiority complex about his lack of powers (he shouldn’t have. He was more useful than Aqualad).

Fortunately, a handy angel dropped by with a magic weapon. Just because.

The shofar was a real “deus ex machina”, doing different things as the story called for it (sort of a proto-Tyroc).

I figure someone was at High Holiday services and said “hey, what if we had a shofar-powered hero?”

Run Mal, RUN!

No wait, jump!

Some of you may know of an infamous picture floating around the comics blogsphere. It’s a picture of Flint Marko “sandblasting” Spider-Man somewhere… sensitive.

It’s real and it’s from Amazing Spider-Man 215.

It also has a caption that makes it a bit worse.

I don’t think it’s even possible to fight dirtier.

Mal Duncan came on the scene shortly after Garth left. Everyone welcomed him.

Well, it looked like they did, anyway?

Wally was, of course, “just kidding”.

Riiiiight.

?is Peter Parker a dick, or is Deb Whitman a creepy stalker?

She leaves him passed out on her couch for fourteen hours, rather than taking him to a hospital. She instead goes out and books tickets to a Broadway show, then prepeares a small feast.

He doesn’t blink and just wanders out.

Readers?

Ollie has a long history of two-timing.

No, not just since Winnik, or even Grell. It goes back even further.

He’s such a slut.

One also has to love how dumb Roy is.

“What is he hiding from me?”

Um? you just saw, Roy?

Wow Roy, you really are slow.

“Something said… not good.”

Of course, Roy can’t just accept this.

“Err? Roy”? Ollie can’t even remember his name. Not a good sign.

“I’m going out with the boys, honey! Don’t wait up!”

Gosh no, they weren’t a couple?

Still, this story gives us two great euphemisms!

One from Roy?

And another from the New Himbo?

Eager little beaver, ain’t he?

Happy Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for fun stories like this and a twisted mind

Here’s how comic book creators envisioned a drug buy in 1980.

That’s right, back in the old days, 8 year olds openly lined up to get coke from guys in purple suits who were just hanging out by the playground.

Nothing conspicuous here. Nah.
