I think it's hilarious that the word "tightly" is underlined AND highlighted!

Your cooperation is appreciated
While in a bathroom at a medical facility, I noticed a small door for patients to pass along urine samples. I took a picture of it with my phone.

More Robin Costumes from Readers, 1977
People seem to enjoy my previous Reader's Robin Costumes from 1974, so here's a page from Batman Family #13, 1977. Interestingly, there's an entry by Norm Breyfogle, who later went on to draw Batman and Detective Comics, several years down the road...

Too tacky?
I was doodling while talking on the phone, and I accidentally drew what looked like an elegant symbol for flipping the bird. I thought, "Hmm, that could be a T-shirt." So, I made it, and am selling it on Zazzle.com. Just trying new things.I'm not sure I'd wear it, though. I would wear my Wash Me shirt.
I would also wear the Dead Parrot I'm selling on Printfection.com. Printfection isn't as famous as Zazzle, but the print area of the shirt is larger. Perfect for this bird. (And the Wash Me above.)

Is There a Hole in My Logic?
It's my understanding that an apostrophe stands in for a missing letter. The apostrophe in "it's" takes the place of the missing "i" in "it is". Ol' actually means "old", etc.
This means that the word "don't" could actually mean "donut"! Yum.
I wonder if I should open my own store using this cute way of spelling doughnut?
Hmm, probably not.

Ideal's Captain Action Mini-Comic, Part 3
Part 1 here.
Part 2 here.
Click on any image to enlarge.
Let's see. Aquaman harpooned an alien in the chest, Captain America, Green Hornet, and the Lone Ranger all blatantly shoot them. Tonto merely drops a limb on one?! You would think if anyone took unkindly to unwelcomed settlers, it would be Tonto.
Captain America uses a gun, and Spider-Man strikes fear into evil-doers. I wonder if the writer had actually read any of the books from that upstart company Marvel. (Captain Action could also turn into Sgt. Fury, the only character that didn't make it into this comic.)
If you had heat vision, super-strength, super-speed, flight, ice-breath, etc, what would you do to stop an alien invasion? See Superboy's solution below...

Ha! They'll not come back anytime soon. Not with Aqua Lad and his canoe-tipping powers awaiting them!
Yes, the end!

Is it just me, or do none of these folks in the next panel look trust-worthy?
Why don't superheroes give bystanders guns and knives anymore? Oh, look, apparently he had a pistol left over. Unfortunately, Captain America wasn't accustomed to using a gun. I suppose it explains why he misses shooting the alien directly in the crotch.

Isn't giving Aquaman flippers a bit like giving Superman a bullet-proof vest?
Concluded in Part 3 with Spider-Man and Action Boy!
