"Things I Don't Get, Real or Imagined, Part Two."

Short one this week, so click to enlarge, and, um, read slowly.
The last two panels are my personal expression of disbelief, that I own a Masters of the Universe Bashin' Beetle, but don't have a Legends/DCUC scaled Batmobile, Fantasticar, Mach 5, anything. That Iron Man coupe is starting to look pretty good. I had that Super Powers Batmobile out for what was supposed to be a single shot, that turned into another strip for later. I do have two other versions of the last two panels on flickr, and will put those up here later, mostly just because I had too much fun putting it together.

I thought I needed to work on the text piece for this one, but I was thinking next week's, which is another short strip with an absurdly long writeup. The topic? My least favorite action figure accessory, ever. Take a guess or name your own, and I can guaran-damn-tee nobody guesses it. Hell, some people might even want it. (Not like I'm giving it away either, but...) Read more!

Plan 4-20, huh? I'm sure this is a completely innocent reference.

Um, that's Silvermane, not your grandma there. This is from Daredevil #123, "Holocaust in the Halls of Hydra!" Written by Tony Isabella, art by Bob Brown, inks by Vince Colletta. From 1975, which of course makes this pre-Frank Miller glory days, and possibly even pre-4-20. Whatever that means...

Bonus: Foggy Nelson, held hostage by Hydra in their secret base under Shea Stadium, socks a guard, steals a rifle, and shoots out the chain restraining Daredevil and the Black Widow. Hell, yeah. Even though he's often the comedy relief for DD, Mr. Nelson has had stretches of actual competence, and at the end of this issue, Nick Fury repeats his offer of a spot on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Directorial Council. Foggy declines, since while he can step it up when needed, he also seems like a guy that knows his limitations, and where he's comfortable.

Anyway, in honor of this not-at-all special day, I heartily don't encourage you to do or not do anything that may or may not be legal or medicinal. Yeah, definitely medicinal. Maybe. Read more!
