I would like to point out that a whale is not a fish!

"The Dukes of Stratosphear", I thought, "that must be right!" - but no joy. Maybe XTC have used some other names?

' "Carolina" is also a beautiful song and has, in addition, an absolutely
perfect arrangement. The bass playing is extraordinary, as are the
background vocals (done by James and producer Peter Asher)'

For the sake of clarity, the bass part on 'Carolina In My Mind' was played by Paul McCartney, and the backing vox were sung by Paul and an uncredited George Harrison.

Yep - "Who Goes There?", a great read that is much closer to the '82 version than many people appreciate.

"...like he was just punched in the crotch"

...As if THAT was ever a weak spot for Hal.

I would have bought this issue for the cover.

How dare Will find her attractive? The man is obviously a complete git.

Typical Hal, driving down the middle of the road, not looking where he's going.

And the editor slept through this episode: "...spill all your know about the power battery and ring" ?

Interesting to note that Hal is in the very centrre of the room, equidistant from - and therefore pulled equally by - the four walls. Reminds me of something I read that said, if you really journeyed to the centre of the Earth you'd float - because gravity would be equal all around you. Totally ignoring all that molten iron and stuff.

"...Shiera wakes up to Carter standing over her, his belt in hand, pants around his waist..."

If you'd said "knees" or "ankles", it's a whole different story.

I'm sure I predicted you'd have a boy.
Congratulations on his safe delivery!

Incidentally, Onion is a popular boy's name. Just putting it out there...

What man wouldn't want to be kissed by a platinum blonde in a nurse's uniform?
I saw a documentary on it.
Well, it might not have been a documentary.
But I learned a lot.

Look how wide Timmy's eyes have been so far in this story - If Doc cures his blindness, he'll be so surprised his eyes will fall out.

Dear me, I've been reading Metal Men comics for years and never noticed Tina wears a hat before. And that suddenly makes her whole ensemble look like a 'sexy nurse' outfit. I was blind, but now I see!

Re: The Metal Men Sure Are Famous.

Call me psychic but I've got a feeling Timmy won't be blind by the end of the issue. Dead maybe, but not blind.

Blind kids were always treated poorly in comics, but few real-life blind kids read them anyway.

Have you seen the price of platinum? Of course he cares!

Frankly, if I built a robot with boobs and called it Tina, I'd think of it as a female robot. I wouldn't keep moaning how it considers itself feminine.
Has there ever been a twist where a female 'Doc' makes a team of lady-bots from various metals, along with a single man-bot? Maybe he'd be scratching his arse while being told to be less 'manly', even as he tries to talk his girly team-mates into making various exotic alloys with him? I'm counting on you, Grant Morrison! Get writing!

Also, the last caption refers to 'the unpredictable platinum' -What does she ever do that's unpredictable? Everytime she does something nuts, the standard response is 'Typical Tina!'

It wouldn't have happened if Hal hadn't been weakened by the yellow caption box above his head.

Madwoman, you should come to England, where green-grocers are justly famous for their aberrant apostrophes.
"Potatoe's" "Tomatoe's" - I honestly think it's deliberate. On the other hand, my use of apostrophes and grammar is the cats pyjama's.
