Screamers
From the pages of “The Butcher” No. 4 (©1990, Mike Baron and Shea Anton Pensa), we learn that all characters in comic books must scream all dialog at each other, whether that be while flying a plane …
… while calmly discussing what the situation does or does not call for …
… while asking a polite question after getting your jaw accidentally unhinged …
… while getting so frustrated watching two pilots shout everyday dialog at each other that your eyes explode into lightning bolts (I’m speaking from personal experience here) …
… while either piloting or co-piloting with your eyes closed and sitting in a chair made of squared-off cement …
… while getting groped by a stranger when you’re a grandmother and poking him back with a Finger of Outrage …
… while whispering for the love of Pete …
… or just while using incredibly exaggerated gestures to show some doofus what this mysterious thing called a “bow” is.
I’m pretty sure I know now why he’s The Butcher — that’s the only way he could come up with to shut everyone the hell up and get some sleep.

Deliciously appropriate product tie-ins
In the history of bad super-hero costumes, I think the Joel Schumacher Batman and Robin Nipple designs have to take home the Oscar (pardon the pun). His fetishistic take on these iconic figures put a stake in the heart of the movie franchise, which made this product tie-in ad I found in one of the Great Random Comics Pile just about perfect:
Batman’s glare seems to be saying “Yes, I’m being called a fruit right here on this box, and because I have been given nipple armor (not shown), I am powerless to react. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And Robin, if I’ve told you once I’ve told you a thousand times, get your left hand away from there!”
