Hats Off

Two of the things that make me happy are old comic books and the writing of James Lileks. So you can imagine my great pleasure to find this treasure trove:

Night Nurse - "She's about 70 percent legs"

Night Nurse - "She may be hot, and the cape's great, but she has no powers... except maybe to wait a few minutes after the patient started jabbing the call button."

Dr. Bobbs - "Performs a fist-assisted star-ectomy"

The Unicornisaurus Rex - "With Fingers!"

and my favorite so far:

Baldy has a point: word gets out that the Bat is on the injured list, you don’t assume he’ll come after you in a one-man copter. A large, multiperson Batcopter, yes. That’s a reasonable expectation, and you make preparations. But a one-man copter? You can’t blame a guy for not seeing that one. I mean, imagine the strategy session.

Okay, boys, this is the week we knock over the barn.

Uh boss? Why a barn again?

Because that’s where the blue bag is, you idiot. Remember: everyone wear suits, so we’ll stand out in a rural setting. Then we’ll meet up right under the big metal grain chute.
