jack_babalonFound me a stash of old DC Comics greeting cards online recently and just had to share. Amongst my favorites were the Wonder Woman ones which come off as creepy and kitsch in an oddly sexy way. For example:
~ See that face? That's the face of an amazon who doesn't know no means no! It's the look Wonder Woman gives to rookie capes after having a few too many at the annual Hall of Justice office party... shortly before golden lassoing them into the nearest supply closet. It's also the same face Batman gives to prospective side-kicks but that's another post entirely.
~ I imagine this was quite the pick-up line during the Carter administration, where polyester wearing lotharios would hang out at seemingly endless gas station lines while dropping more lines than they were snorting. Hearing it from a 6'2" warrior princess who could crush your skull as easily as a Fabergé Egg (a Fabergé Egg that screams no less) however only makes it that much more endearing to the ear. Also of note: Energy Crisis refers to the 12 issue maxi-series where countless minor characters were killed off in order to bring cheap petrol prices to American consumers.
~ Well, now you know what Wonder Woman's twitter feed might look like. Either that or she's been endlessly texting Big Clark after that night she golden lassoed him at the previously mentioned annual Hall of Justice office party.
Supes: "Diana, I've told you before the JLA signal device is for emergencies only... and besides that I'm a happily married man!"
WW: "I didn't hear any complaints in the supply closet, Clark!"
Supes: "But... but... you know I was under the influence of Red Kryptonite at the time..."
WW: "Oh, really? Well what about that other night. You know, when we played 'Kneel Before Zod' during monitor duty. Was that red kryptonite as well?"
Supes: "Um... that was my susceptibility to magic."
WW: "Uh-huh..."
Supes: "Oh, hey, what do you know, the uh... the Bizarros are attacking Metropolis. Gotta go!"
