Oh BROOKLYN!

I give you Dan Brooklyn Turpin, lady’s man.

It’s a mystery why he was single for so long, ain’t it folks?

(It should be noted that Dan was, indeed, married and technically speaking, the Dan is Brooklyn thing is a retcon, but I likes it).

    Is it really a RETCON retcon? I thought Kirby established that himself at some point.

    Hmm, let's take a look at that shell he has so casually held in the crook of his arm ...

    Comparing it to the size of his head, it's at least a 155mm shell. They weigh 100 lbs (shell only, not counting the propellant ("gunpowder"), which Dan The Genius seems to have forgotten to bring along.* Not the sort of thing you hold casually if you're quite buff, much less as lithe as Dan.

    * But then, maybe he was just going to make IEDs out of them.

    Strange, I don't remember the streets of Brooklyn being filled with mute women. Must've been a forties thing. I'm thinking if wee Brooklyn Turpin ran his mouth like that today in his old stomping grounds, he'd be eating that goofy derby or the knuckle sandwich of a few "Brooklyn goils".

    Did they intentianally make the Nun say such a horrible pun?? (hey that rhymed) "I don't have a canon!"....And if ya don't know what a canon is for nuns...look it up.

    Is this a rare holiday excursion for Brooklyn to Central Park? And why's he hanging out with a nun? Hey, is she with Brother Blood's church? ;)

    And given the length of those prop blades, shouldn't they be hitting the ground and shattering?

    I'm gonna pretend this woman is Maggie Sawyer's grandma. It just makes things more fun.

    Granted that apparently that sledge is supposed to ber armored and all, but that solid non-transparent metal windshield whose only hole is occupied by a cannon seems a recipe for disaster...

    Unless of course, navigation is trusted to the "not so dumb" lady in the back who's seeking the North Star while hugging a phalic symbol. :)
