Regarding POWER GIRL's costume...

(Thanks Liz.)

  1. It's cute that this guy thought about his statement long enough to include the caveat "hot girls," but he didn't take it any further than that. What about "butt windows?" What are his opinions on the "tube top?" Is this the extent of his wishes or is it just the first and most feasible step on the path towards mandated female nudity? (But only for hotties.)

  2. I always wondered what practical purpose those served on superheroine uniforms. I can only think of heat dissipation. Perhaps those indestructible uniforms don't breathe very well. That, combined with the strenuous physical activity of being a super-being, means strategic vents are required in order to keep cool.

    There are problems with this hypothesis. For instance, most male superheroes are completely covered - some show only their mouths while some have total costume coverage. It has been established that Earth-616 Tony Stark has an air-conditioned armored suit, but what about the superheroes merely wearing regular fabric-based costumes (or Reed Richards' unstable molecule suits)?

    Nay. I say the only reason those suits exist is because they're drawn to please goobers like the man depicted here.

    1. If there was any way to thumb up comments, I'd thumb up this one. Well-said, Anon.

    2. Never heard of "the weapons of a woman"? I think powergirl has just figured out how to distract her enemies long enough to land a good punch. Yes, it may not be the most dignified tactic, but it works, so why not?

  3. And maybe they should make it the rule that you have to carry a drool bucket with you at all times.

  5. Also, who gets to be the judge of what constitutes "hot"? One person's idea of attractiveness isn't necessarily the same as the next.

  6. I especially love Power Girl's "... are you shitting me?" expression on the cover. In fact, I'm going to pretend her illegible speech bubble actually says that.

  9. The first comic with the "goobers" tag is a winner. I look forward to future goobers.

  10. I like to think of the white square comic at the top of each "Our Valued Customer" page as a "Boob window" in its own way.
