  • Biollante: pollster*

  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • PTF: It's a magic hammer. It doesn't have to make sense. :)

  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

Anyone else notice the change in one of the stories in Betty & Veronica 181?
« on: June 22, 2010, 12:56:31 AM »
The short in Betty and Veronica #181:
Mr. Lodge in "The Golden Throat"

The punch line was changed.
when Mr. Lodge asks Veronica why they let Ethel sing with the band, Veronica's response used to be: "We like to watch her adam's apple bob!"

but for some reason they changed it to :
"Because after she sings, we sound Fantastic!"

Wonder why they changed that.
I always remembered and loved that particular strip as a kid.
Anyone have any ideas? ???

The original line was funny!  I guess it was just too mean for the modern comics, though.  They used to treat Ethel like she was a beast, and now she's just sort of quirky.

it's a little over the top though to have changed the punchline over a silly thing like them watching her adam's apple.
Kinda' makes me wonder why they even bothered putting it in the digest in the first place.

maybe they were afraid that people would think Ethel was a dude in drag for having so prominent an adam's apple? ;p  :D
