…and the top of the next…

Either Hourman has super-speed changing powers, or the guy just stood there while he stripped down.

    I have to say, the whole "gaining superpowers by intake of unusual substances" doesn't exactly send a good message to the kiddies. Then again, in comics full of racism, sexism, bad science, and gratuitous violence, I suppose drug use is only one of many evils.
  • He did got addicted on the stuff according to wikipedia.
  • It's a new way to reveal your secret identity: just change in front of the crook.

    And then... dum dum dum... The Hour Man! So called because that's about as long as his powers lasted...

    You know, I've never really thought of that. What kind of idiot actually gives away his weakness in his name?
  • madwoman
    Wait a minute - he takes his jacket off and there is another one underneath it? Now I know where Airplane got the sunglasses joke from!

    BTW, that costume is just awful. And where did he hide that cape?

    Well, at least the crook shows some common sense in the last panel. I must say that If I was alone with another guy and he suddenly began stripping down to end up wearing such ridiculous tights, I'd also tell him not to touch me.

    I imagine the fifth panel show's the Hoodlum curled up in the fetal position, mumbling "Think of a happy place" over and over.
    The sixth would have something like Hourman and the chief of police saying "Incredible; defeated by his own lack of sexual identity!"
