A Graphical Sorbet

Between Tarot, early 90s X-Men, and last night's delve into the poorly-printed madness of Charlton Comics, there's been a lot of negativity here on the ISB, and while I'm perfectly happy to sit here taking potshots at massive, slow-moving targets like that motley lineup, I don't really want to be known as that one comics blogger who complains all the time.

So to that effect, I'd like to post something to break things up a little bit tonight, something pure and joyful to cleanse the palate, as it were. But what?



Ah yes. That'll do, Lois. That'll do.

Incidentally, I do feel compelled to mention that that story--"The Truth Mirror!" from Action Comics #269--involves Lois getting Merlin the Wizard's magic mirror, a priceless artifact which always reveals the truth and which saves her life on two occasions, and is then chucked into a volcano by Superman so that nobody'll find out his secret identity.

Okay, so maybe I'm not done complaining. But really, that one was asking for it.

"Get out, you midget burglar...!" That's lifted from Shakespeare, right?

Aaah, nothing like the classics.
By the way, isn't pitching a priceless artifact into a volcano something of a dickish thing for Superman to do? Sheesh.

At first glance, I thought this panel was from the Family Circus arc of my dreams.

I seem to recall an old Shadow radio show that dealt with a similar menace, although the results were more Golden Age Batman than Silver Age Lois Lane. If I remeber this right, the Shadow (Orson Welles) is visiting friends in the country who have adopted a 10yr old boy (wait for it...). At some point, Fred Flintstone, who is also there posing as a European Count, is murdered. The Shadow reveals that the killer was the boy, in reality a midget fugitive who had engineered his own adoption by the unwitting couple, which leads to something like the following:

"Mwoahahaha! You can't shoot me, Skippy! I have clouded your mind and made myself invisible!"

*BANG! BANG!*

"Nuts ta youse, Shadow! I'm lamming outta here!"

At which point Skippy was eaten by a dog.

Your move, Lois.

How many times have I told you, Baby Finster,...NOT TO PLAY WITH THE DIRTY MONEY!?

Lois Lane and Bugs Bunny...BOTH owned by Warner Bros. and both dealing with midget burglers.

Coincidence?

I think not.
