celebrate remembering the bicentennial

[davemerrill]

It's a red white and blue explosion of values this week as Mister Kitty's Stupid Comics takes a look back at comic books that took a look back at the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration Of Independence. Some of our favorite super characters were actually there!!



Next week there will be more patriotic bicentennial comics, so stay tuned to your wood-grained commemorative 1776 style computer device for further updates!

Speaking of Stupid Comics, we were contacted by our contact from AOL News to get some commentary on Wonder Woman's new costume. Because apparently when super hero characters change their clothes, it's news. I was up front about my feelings; namely, Wonder Woman has been a supremely boring character ever since they lost the weird bondage angle and the crazy folk art, and that was sometime in the 1940s. I have never known a time in which Wonder Woman has not been a complete token, a cut-and-paste figure inserted into various DC Comics publications strictly to keep things from being a complete sausage fest. Go ahead and put her in a Shriner fez, DC; nobody cares.

Yosemite Sam finally makes good on his threat, "I'm gonna punch you so hard you'll fly backwards through time ya varmint!"

Because of this film, I'll always celebrate the Bicentennial every year!

There's still a grade school near my house that hasn't taken down it's Bicentennial flag from the gym wall, I certainly hope it'll stay up for all time!

And that 204 pc. Revolutionary War Soldiers set looks very tempting now!

The only thing notable about Wonder Woman's new outfit and look is how very, very, "90s X-Men". And that's not very notable, really. Wonder Woman, who cares? I mean, asides from the sort of obsessives who hang out at wherever "scans_daily" is now on the internet, wailing about how horrible the latest version of "Wondy" is so awful and horrible and no they aren't going to stop reading it ever.

All this sneering and laughing about the updating of WW reminds me of when they gave Superman long hair and a new costume, or when Spider-Man received his sleek, all-black duds. They inspired derision at the time, but look at where we are today. It's like Superman ALWAYS had long hair and Spidey's costume was ALWAYS black. In fact, it's hard to remember a time when this was not the case.

Amiright???
