House Ads #17 Supergirl
Why did they throw a Battle of Super-Pets into a Supergirl book? And when are they gonna bring back Streaky? Krypto has seen some action recently.
Oh, geez, I had this comic at one point. The reason why the super-pets battle was in it is because Supergirl "owned" half of them, like Streaky (the cat) and Comet (the horse) -- and they were all fighting for her affections. It didn't matter who won the fight, though, because in the end Supermonkey showed up out of the blue, and Supergirl ignored all the others to play with HIM.
My brain just threw up. I know the ad is old, but there's no excuse for such a crappy headline. Oh, my, they should have hired me back then. of course, I was a fetus, but I wouldn't have done it any worse.
Did...did they really have to show Supergirl all splay-legged while she is allegedly doing "her thing"?
ReplyDeleteI mean...really!

ReplyDeleteOh, Sally! Next, you'll make some mention of Supergirl getting her "action packed" (whatever the hell THAT means!)
ReplyDeleteSea, I have to ask, did she really touch the monkey?
She HUGGED that monkey!
ReplyDeleteActually, I do enjoy the notion that the Legion of Super-Pets could pretty much walk all over the regular Legion.
ReplyDelete"She's a girl, she's super, she's Supergirl"?
