Hahahahaha!! This is awesome. Made a sickday a little brighter, thanks DJ.
My question is this; Who’s in for the rougher ride here? The man with metal covering his cavities, or the man who’s gotta ram his hand through it..
You could do a one panel strip entitled “Reason #1 it sucks to be Aquaman” and then just have a picture of him in the water, drooling. Because really, when it comes to being Acquaman, that’s suckage enough right there.

Love it even more because of the last panel.
October 4th, 2005 at 9:00 am
HA! that is funny. Its not so much the joke (my favorite airplane sercurity joke is from Spinal Tap) but that last panel. Somehow you caught both the fear of a cavity search and the magic of vintage cartoon-dom all in one — close-up, radiating stress lines, those eyes — that’s priceless!
Teknik is on to something. Aquaman is useless and therefore untapped comedy. How about the fact that he was always getting kidnapped or hurt and the Justice League had to rescue him on 90 percent of the episodes. Or that everybody got cool rides (invisibible jetplane anyone?) but he just got sea horses — not even a jet ski! Plus he talked to fish. His great power. ’nuff said.

Is it me or is Tito’s hand as big as a fry pan? Must be like that for the extra comfort.

What’s more alarming about Tito.. Is the mask latex too?
October 4th, 2005 at 11:16 am
I just think it’s alarming that he’s named Tito. Anyone with a Jackson 5 name is now doomed to be thought of as sickos. And DJ certainly isn’t using the name to fix that problem, hehe.

In bOb’s script, he specifically mentioned:
“Big handed guy wearing guard outfit and one plastic glove with
one hand slapped on Iron Mans shoulder. Smiling or blowing a kiss.”
You can see I didn’t stick to Bob’s script exactly, because I wanted to add that last reactionary panel.

Man, Bob is a fucking character. I don’t know which version I’d rather have now.
That last panel reaction is a comedy gold brick though.
As for Aquaman jokes, already been done. Just go to Seanbaby (but only if you promise to come right back here again).

Haha, i wish all alarms would go “w00t w00t w00t”

Actually Aquaman does have super strength, and underwater he’s the man, but on the surface he’s useless.
I like the vintage Ironman look too, classic, keep up the good work.
On a side note, does anyone know of an artist looking for a writer?
October 4th, 2005 at 7:09 pm
That is awesome; the last panel just screams “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” to me; or as the backstroke of the west version, “DO NOT WAAAANT!”
October 4th, 2005 at 8:53 pm
Maybe the guy with the glove can be called Captain Cavity Search. I smell a continuing character. (Or at least I hope that’s what I’m smelling …)

The horror…

Wow. You draw a really great golden age Iron Man.
Keep up the good work.
