I hope they manage to put that ball back together.

Can't imagine why the South Korean women are uninterested in such a virile specimen.

He's half-statue, himself; what do you expect?

I shaved off my beard for the first time in 13 years. Feel strange. I shaved other stuff too. My wife will find that out the hard way.

I'm sitting on an icepack. 

Guess it didn't go to well with the wife?

It was great, actually. She was quite surprised.

When someone's done so fantastically well that a simple "good job" doesn't quite cut it, or messed up so embarrassingly badly that a quiet "better luck next time" just won't suffice, these Epic Win/Epic Fail stamps will do all the talking so you don't have to!

Hmmm.  Talking is usually the first step in me saying something stupid.  Perhaps if I communicate entirely through stamps I won't have this problem.

Shameful.



Mexican man who attempted to escape from prison in a suitcase.

[Razgovory]

I guess it didn't work.  There was a fellow from Illinois who escaped the local prison by hiding in a bread truck.  Later went on to become famous. Ray, I think his name was.

If Batman spends a great deal of time in the Batcave--which, of course, is a cave full of bats--does he also spend a great deal of time covered in guano?

No.  Alfred maintains the cleanliness of the cave, and the bats seem to avoid the parts of the cave that Batman uses.

If Superman gets his powers from a yellow sun, would he be even more powerful if he wore less clothing?

I'm not sure that momentary charge is especially important, as Superman is depicted as being extremely powerful even on cloudy days or at night.  It's the accumulated charge of a lifetime that strengthens him, which is why old Supermen are often depicted as hideously powerful, and Superman himself is depicted as somewhat more powerful than other Kryptonians who have less yellow sun-time under their belt.

If Triplicate Girl got pregnant, when she split into her triplicates, would they also be pregnant?  Follow-up question: if one copy got pregnant while split, would she still be pregnant when she recombined, or does she use this for birth control?

They're not copies.  They're all her.  If one gets pregnant, they all do, and presumably the child would share the inborn ability of all natives of Cargg to triplicate themselves.  It's surprising that it never came up when she was Triad, given how the purple Triad was a little easy.  Or maybe not, since it's a comic book for young people.

If the Spectre is tasked with avenging murders, shouldn't there be roughly 99% fewer supervillains in the world?  If not, does this mean that supervillainy is actually pretty integral to God's plan, and should other superheroes consider this when fighting them?

The Spectre is extremely lazy.  Also, having to operate through a host body seems to weaken him and focus him down on a smaller region.  That said, it would seem that supervillainy is a part of God's plan, but the whole point of superheroics is to stand up to that plan and deny it.

If Element Lad can turn anything into anything else, how does a LSH comic ever last more than two panels?

Element Lad is a bit of a weirdo, and his powers are limited by his psychology.  His philosophy keeps him from butchering his opponents like hogs, and it seems that certain enemies are protected from his power.  That said, when the Legion was thrown through time and space and Element Lad was abandoned ten billion years in the past, he lost his mind and became a god.

Excellent, reasoned responses.  Although I'm not sure about the Superman thing.  They're really inconsistent with that.  On one hand, he seems to operate fine at night and in deep space, in the absence of any significant (maybe ultraviolet?) light source.  On the other, he is often portrayed as losing his powers immediately in the presence of "red sun radiation."  Ignoring for the moment that Superman's universe is not the most scientifically literate fiction there ever was, and also ignoring that "red sun radiation" was bullshit dreamed up to give Superman a weakness that any idiot can access in a universe where kryptonite is supposed to be scarce, why does that work to actively depower him if he's been absorbing power for decades?  That's like a black guy immediately losing all the melanin in his skin because you shined a flashlight at him.
