Stupid Hero Quote


"No man can lick himself, Atom-- and that's what we were trying to do!"



Oh, how ribald! Once upon a time in comics, people could stay thing like this. Now we can't; I blame it on those Beavis & Butthead fellows.

Anyway, this quote is even more ironic that it seems at first...

who said it?

  3. I want to say Wildcat. Because he's a cat. They lick themselves. Irony! Like rain on a wedding day.

  4. Clever! But not correct.

  5. I'm going to take a chance and say it was the Atom himself.

    No, it doesn't make sense to me either, but I'm sticking with it. ;-)

  6. That's good "Silver Age" logic, JM!

    But this quote is from the Golden Age (and it's not THAT ironic).

  7. Green Arrow? I have no idea.

  8. No, it's someone who would have been chatting with the Atom in the Golden Age...

  9. Wonder Woman? (she was in the JSA right?, I can never remember)

    If not my guess is the Spectre, Green Lantern, or Dr. Midnight.

  10. I must end the torture.

    It's the Spectre, who as Hal Jordan recently "licked himself" as Parallax.

  11. Ha it was my second guess? Do I win an Absorbascon No Prize?

  12. Sorry, Shane; how about just a "No"?

    *chuckle*, as the Legionnaires used to say.

  13. Ha Ha...

    I guess I can settle with your continued blogging as prize enough.
