I also like the part where Batman's inner monologue contradicts the (suddenly appearing) omniscient narrator.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

I may have to pick this thing up. It's so lunatic.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Unrelatedly (OR IS IT?), Chatty!co-worker is going to C2E2 in Chicago this weekend, and today was his last day at work for the week. So when he was leaving, people were telling him "Have fun," etc., and then I yelled "Excelsior!"
He laughed, and I said "I have been waiting to say that ALL WEEK."
Me = nerrrrrrrrrrrrd.

Wolkin is great. He has a more stream-of-consciousness response to one of the Odyssey issues on his site: [link]
(And his descent into madness at SDCC is also hilarious, if only because it wasn't happening to me.)
Bruce has got one hairy-ass chest. He's a REAL MAN.
He is a Hairy-Chested Love God (TM).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
WTF was that!?!?!
It's like someone saw the Goddamned Batman as a good idea for a plot.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think there may be something to my theory
David: Something that keeps happening in this book: 4-6 people will inexplicably gather and 2 of them will fight, while the others stand around and casually converse with each other.

That made me laugh so hard I really did almost fall out of my desk chair, because I was bent over trying to disguise the fact that I was laughing, and I almost bent too far over.
DAMN YOU BATMAN.

Pete glanced at that panel (I had it open in another tab) and said, "Oh God, is that from the insane Neal Addams Batman thing?"
I just sent him the blog link.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Steph, you are seriously tempting me to break my years-long DC embargo.
David: I could write a book about that panel.
Too late, Fredric Wertham beat you to it!
