When I was born


When I was born....

Eclipso tried to destroy his alter ego / arch enemy Bruce Gordon by using a giant, red ore-crushing robot.

Named "Roger".

*Sigh*.

Why are robots always red?
Who names an ore-crusher?
Why would it have feet?
Does Eclipso not know how to use a gun?

The Silver Age is like my dog;
I love it, but it really makes my head hurt.

it looks like a big cash register come to life.

Actually, there's a history of naming big machinery.

For example, a humongous earth mover in Ohio, called Big Muskie

Welcome and thank you, JNR; please comment frequently! I, too, was a big Eclispo fan; always wanted him to team up with Two-Face.

My attitude has always been:
comics ARE deadly serious and I take them that way. They are ALSO completely hilarious and absurd, and I take them that way, too.

The two aren't mutually exclusive; it's all in how you look at it, and THAT is what makes comics cool.

THIS is my new favorite comics quote.
