I've been wondering....do you think the Orange Lantern oath goes anything like this:

This Kiss, This Kiss!

As if having Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez (with Kevin Nowlan) drawing Batman wasn't enough incentive to pick up last month's BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL (#26, April 2009)...

How's about some o' this:

Woot! Go Bruce!!

Part 2 of this 3-parter should be out today.

While I have a feeling there probably won't be anymore man-kissing -- there will be more Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez goodness...and that's enough for me!!!

WATCHMEN - The Saturday Morning Intro

Happy Harry has posted his vision of the opening sequence to a 1980s Saturday Morning Watchmen cartoon over at NewGrounds.com. It's freakin' hysterical in it's awesomeness. You really should check it out!! After you click the link, look for the "Watch this movie" link on the right!

Keep your "piece" out of Batman's face...

Huntress goes FWOOSH!

One of Helena Wayne's lesser known powers.

Green Lantern head-butts and...um...butts!

Keeping with this month's theme...*

This is all Nightwing Wannabe's fault. I accept no responsibility!! He reminded me about the Green Lantern/Green Arrow throwdown in DC UNIVERSE DECISIONS #2, so I had to go take a look. And this one page just makes it!


In one page we get two -- TWO Green Lantern butts...


...and a Hal getting hit in the head!!


Not to mention this little gem, that makes up for no silly Batman!!

Ride 'im, Cowboy!!

The end.

What?

You want a foolish Batman, too?

Oh, alright. I aim to please:


*No, it's really not going to be this month's theme. This is it!


Maybe.

The "How to" Manual for Bloggers

SallyP (of Green Lantern Butts FOREVER!) has come up with a manual for what to do when you hit a blogging dry spell!!

She says: "Sometimes there are the sort of days when you just don't know WHAT to talk about. You stare desperately at your screen, your fingers hovering over the keyboard, waiting...waiting for that jolt of inspiration...

That, my dear friends, is when you pull out the handy-dandy manual."

And since (1) I haven't been blogging much, (2) I really got nothing and (3) Sea_of_Green did it... I decided to go all "Me too!" and be the follower that I am!!

Here are Sally's instructions:

#1: Find a picture of Batman that makes him look silly or foolish.

Seriously, how often do you get to see Batman cry like a little girl!!!

#2: Find a picture of Hal Jordan being hit in the head.

The hard part with this is not finding a picture of Hal hit in the head, but choosing one from the thousands of times that it has happened!!!!

#3: Find a picture of a Green Lantern Butt

I wonder if I get bonus points for having him bent over...leaning into a shirtless Hal!!

* * * * *

Of course, being as I always have to be different (or difficult, I can't remember), I thought, you could also change it up a little:

Like combine the first two: Hal Jordan hit in the head by Batman!!


Or the second two: See Hal's GL butt as he gets hit in the head!!!


Okay, that one's good for two!

Come back all this month for more goofy-Batman and GL butt shots!! Woo!


No, I'm only kidding. I'm done. :-)

Christmas Funnies!

Some golden age Christmas funnies from BIG SHOT COMICS #8 (December 1940).

Green Fury the green-flamed hero

You know Dazzler,



Wind Dancer,



The Prancer,



And Vixen.




Comet,



And Cupid,



Dick Donner,



And Blitzen.



But do you recall
The most famous Super-Friend of all?

Fury the green-flamed hero,
Had a very fiery nose.
And if you ever saw it
You would surely say it blows.



All of the other heroes
Used to laugh and call her names.
They never let Green Fury
Join the super hero games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Fury, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"



This made the others jealous,
And they shouted out meanly:
"Fury the green-flamed hero,
Your power's disgusting!"

Happy TURKEY Day, JOE!

Here's a holiday-themed cautionary tale with the message: "Be careful what you wish for!"

I can't imagine that some poor child back in the day didn't lose sleep over this one...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Analyze This ... Blog!

Via Sea of Green's Hoosier Journal of Inanity, I came across LibraryBytes' collection of tools with which to analyze your blog. And I decided to play!! (I'm such a follower!) They're kinda fun!!

Typealyzer analyzes what type of person writes the blog. This is me (I'm a "feeler" which sounds kinda bad, when you're mind works like mine does...)--

The analysis indicates that the author of http://comicsnthings.blogspot.com is of the type:

ESFP - The Performers

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don't like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

The Genderanalyzer determines the gender of the blog writer:

We think http://comicsnthings.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman (73%).

I guess I focus too much on the package... :-/


The Blog Readability Test determines the level of education required to understand your blog. You need at to be at least at a High School reading level to understand my blog, apparently. I would've guessed closer to sixth grade. Who knew!?


You can also find out how much your blog is worth.

My blog is worth $5,080.86. How much is your blog worth?

Archie's Everything...

Well, okay, we really don't see all that much "everything" of Archie (here in one of his very early appearances), but his buddy there...hoo, boy!

I wonder...if they ever do an Archie Archive, will this panel get censored?

Now we're going to steal an idea from Adam @ Comics Make No Sense:

Fun with Dialogue Out of Context!
(See how I moved the words around to avoid trademark infringement, lol, nifty!).
From the same above comic:

Dang. Sometimes I'm just a bad man...

Because it never gets old...

Well I found it at Sea of Green's Hoosier Journal of Inanity. But Dwayne started it at Matching Dragoons. So it's all his fault.

He wanted people to dialogue Batman. And I'm gonna play!!

Also, me being me, I decided that you just can't beat an old horse into the ground enough...


Get over it. It's kinda funny.

Sassy Superman Remixes

I did the remix of ACTION COMICS #351 almost a year ago and thought I had posted it.
This past weekend, I came across the cover to ACTION COMICS #353 and thought "I smell a follow-up!"
So I went to post it and link it to the original post. Except there doesn't appear to be an original post. I guess I forgot. So now you get a two-fer!!

Zha-vam could be so much more than just Superman's adversary...

Yeah. Sometimes I have too much time on my hands. :-P
