How is Plastic Man one of history's seven most significant superheroes? I think the other six listed (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Captain America) are very good choices, but I just don't buy him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn! My cat just tried to jump up on my leg but didn't quite make it and dug his claws in. Now I have three bloody puncture wounds.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hate it when that happens.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That sucks.
When my cat draws blood, it's natures way of telling me to trim his claws. Sometimes he'll try to jump on my shoulder but not quite make it. I have a number of t-shirts with holes from his claws.

Dana, I love Toby, but he is not enough reason for me to watch an entire episode.

Has to do with the artist. Jack Cole is probably the most esteemed of all the superhero artists (of the olden days), after Jack Kirby. By other artists, I mean. Among a certain strain of vintage comic fan, Plastic Man is by far the coolest superhero, and definitely had the wittiest comics visually.

WW: So do we think Santos is telling the truth? And if so, why the hell didn't he set up a trust for the mother instead of writing checks once a month? Who the hell writes a check once a month?

Big Salon article: The Battle to Ban Birth Control
Using bogus health facts to scare women about the "dangers" of contraception, a fledgling movement fights for a culture in which sex = procreation.
...
Nor is the fight against birth control only the province of a few zealots. While sites like Worthington's may be new, many antiabortion activists have always been bitterly opposed to contraception. "After Roe v. Wade was decided," says Feldt, "the debate focused on abortion instead of birth control. But [for anti-choicers] they are not separate issues." She points out that what we're seeing today is more of a revival of an old movement than a shift to something new. "It's been there from the beginning. If you go back and look at the rhetoric against birth control from 1916, it's exactly the same as the rhetoric now."
And when you look closely, there is evidence to suggest that even the mainstream anti-choice groups are ready to make the battle against contraception part of their agendas. Many of the National Right to Life Committee state affiliates have opposed legislation that would provide insurance coverage for contraception.
