  • 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???

May I cut in?=3

When Betty's father asked for "desert" (in that story where Betty's mother told her how she snagged her husband by serving him delicious dinners, so Betty tried the same thing with Archie), he certainly meant it to be "dessert"! ;D

(Betty's mother told her dad to go ask his old girlfriend to make "desert" for him, too.;))

The latest Archie digest (#240) there's a (reprinted) story where Archie is trying to get detention so he'll be able to spend time with Veronica, who's stuck in detention with Reggie. At one point in the story Ms. Grundy is watching Archie through the window while looking at her "Attendence" book.

this is more of a spelling error:
In Betty and Veronica Double Digest # 157 there is a reprinted story called "Bowled Over" and the story Veronica states: "Daddy told me I cold invite a friend!"

Here's a nice article on the "an historical" issue... http://grammartips.homestead.com/historical.html

Back on topic, I once saw a reprinted story in a digest where some aliens from the future were being sent back in time to Riverdale (you've probably seen this - Jughead keeps finding their mis-placed electronic gizmos at a flea market). The leader of these aliens is telling him that he's outfitted them with "21th" century money and clothing. Apparently someone decided to update the story and this little mistake slipped by the editorial staff.
