Strike That, Reverse It.

Nov 30, 2009 in Bad Science, What Were They Thinking

Rex “Tic-Tock” Tyler, aka the Hour-Man, is trying to find one of his loyal Minute Men (led by Minute Martin – Rex apparently never met a time reference he didn’t like). Fortunately, the kidnapped youth has managed to leave a note for his drug-addled role model (with sleeping gas, of course. Not his usual pills. HE CAN QUIT ANYTIME HE WANTS, OKAY?) saying where the criminal masterminds will strike next.

Question for Any Tech Geeks in The Room

Shot in the dark, but I don’t suppose anyone has a batter for a 15″ Powerbook G4 Model M8407?

Sigh.

Another Great Golden Age Concept

Nov 27, 2009 in The Spectre, What Were They Thinking

More fun than comics where the hero is thought to be a crook are the comics where the hero is known to be a hero, but the cops just don’t care. Like this issue of More Fun comics (see what I did there?):

Cleverest What Now?

I personally have an issue with “kewl” spelling in comics.

It’s mostly annoying because, well, how would any of the other characters know how it’s spelled? I mean, they’re talking, right?* So what’s the difference between a Madam Masque and Madam Mask? Nothing.

Zatara Both Sickens and Confuses Me.

Nov 23, 2009 in Zatara

Everyone has to admit that Zatara’s power set is pretty cool. All he has to do is stay things backwards, and they happen. You know what most people don’t think about? How much it’s gotta stink to be the butt of his spells.

Four Day Weekend

Nov 20, 2009 in Uncategorized

Sorry gang, but I was out late at a press event, getting content for MoPocket.com. No WWTT time tonight. I can’t promise anything before the weekend.

Played with some neat tech tonight though, including Sony’s upcoming Android phone. Sweeeeeet.

Oh Right, Gargy!

I mentioned yesterday that Gargantua, the “yes suh” style “comic” sidekick of Tex Thomson (because he was so manly he needed two), left the strip.

Tex Thomson Knows His Wimmins.

Nov 18, 2009 in Sexism, Stalking, What Were They Thinking

Post Gargy, Tex became obsessed with a mysterious lady spy, Miss X (Original, isn’t it?). He decides to hunt her down, because stalking is romantic.
