  • 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

  • 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 :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • 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???

What does it mean, "... and not a sou left in my piggy bank either." - a nickel?

sou
2 entries found.
 sousou'wester 
   
Main Entry: sou 
Pronunciation: \ˈsü\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural sous  \ˈsüz\
Etymology: French, from Old French sol, from Late Latin solidus solidus
Date: 1814
1 : 2sol
2 : a 5-centime piece

As with the comic, Frazz, I like when unfamiliar words are injected into the Archie stories, but, in this case, I almost missed it! Did anyone else already know what a "sou" was?

If anyone can get a cope of Laugh Digest #101, you'll see that it was released for Earth Day, and the story "Future Shock" does a much better job of outlining environmental concerns.  Of course, the book came out in 1992, so it may be tough to find.  I could scan the cover for you guys though, if you like.

Yes, please. A summary of the story would be nice, too.

I'll do you one better.  Here's the story in it's entirety.

Woo! Thanks, Captain Hero!

It's funny that, late as 1992, they felt the need to provide "futuristic" clothing and hairstyles for 2010, which is only 2 years from now!

Yeah, really!  But, back in 1992, 2010 was still eighteen years away.  Funny how time flies.

I imagine they'll change it to something like 2040 if it's ever reprinted.  LOL!

Thanks, ACF! :smitten:

Captain, I remember that story - I'm just grateful that the scorpion I found last week wasn't nearly as gigantic!!

Did anyone else notice that Jughead seems unchanged by the hypothetical passage of time?

What do you mean? In terms of age? Because I think they were playing hypothetical teenagers in 2010, not themselves in the future, judging by Veronica's comment, "I want to live life like my grandparents!"

Considering it was only an 18-year gap, "parents" would have sufficed.

I just meant that, while everyone else is sporting "costumes of the future", Jughead looks the same as usual.

Ah. Maybe he was just too lazy to get into costume. :P

Does sound like Jug, or maybe that's the writer/artist's way to show us that he'll always have that beanie and sweater

Makes sense to me.  Jughead has more or less worn the same beanie and navy blue "S" sweater for almost 70 years now while fashions have changed and evolved around him.  I could see him doing the same in 2010, or 2020, or 2030...
