Who What Now?

I have to confess that this is just a terminology quibble, but it’s too good a term to pass up.

Assuming that they want to say the victims are dying from lack of air, I think he means suffocation in this case… but honestly, I think by then you’d likely be freaking out due to your skin burning off.

That said, I am adding “death by burning strangulation” to my lexicon.

Sorry for the late post. Tomorrow’s will be late as well

"Nevermind about the mist, Hadji!! Tinkerbell needs my help! You'll have to find Johnny Quest on your own!"

And dude... if I had the power to make money appear out of thin air I'd forget about helping people and just buy stuff!

That's counterfeit money!

"Instant strangulation" is a nice one as well.

In the first panel Zatara wants to hit a kid, whom by the look on his face is clearly mentally challenged. The second panel show the prime minister doing a little dance, Z wonders wether or not to join in. In the third one he wants to box with this Indian fellow. Judging by this fellows reaction, Z hasn't showered in quite some time. I have no idea about the fourth one but in the fifth we see a fairy tip-toeing over some buildings.
