Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 02, 2013

About time, too :D

Well, there goes the female demographic…Hey, I got an idea! Let’s use a burka in I Dream of Genie! Comedy gold I tell ya!

You know, I just had a thought, (Yeah, it does happen occasionally)….We all know of the horrible decision to not let Barbara Eden’s belly button be seen on the TV…Why aren’t there posters of Babara Eden’s belly button all over the place? Huh? What, nobody cares? See, that’s the trouble with this country…

Hey, I got nuthin’… but I had to pop in to say Happy Groundhog Day.

Bruno…. thanks for the honorific yesterday…guess you never saw my answer to you a day or two before…. LOL

Varnes… no… I, as a sample of the female population, would just as soon the Hulk kept all that…. whatever it is… under wraps.

I’m just as happy not to see him hulking out all over the place.

Two of Marvel’s The Avengers movie team together in 1 Brevity strip.

The Hulk would become rich if he started selling his ripped clothing.

That doesn’t even look like Hulk Hogan !!

My all-time favorite Hulk gag was in the Mad Magazine parody of the old TV show. For some reason I can’t recall, Bruce Banner was disguised in a dress. The lady reporter he rescues asks his name: “It’s David Banner.” “Really? You look more like a ‘Bruce.’” “Actually, it is Bruce in the comic book but the producers didn’t think that was a masculine enough name for television.” And then, there’s a TV in the same panel blaring “And Jenner wins the Olympic decathlon! Bruce is the world’s greatest athlete!” For some reason that joke has made me laugh for years and years.

No love for the Grey Hulk, Dan? How about Banner-Hulk with Dr. Banner’s brain in the Hulk’s body?

@Bruno ZeigertsThanks for reminding me of that Wonder Woman joke! I’m going to have to go search through my Mad collection to find that issue one of these days………

In 1990 or so, the Hulk did wear outfits like this for a while when he was part of a group called the Pantheon.
