Oh Silver Age, when writers could pen lines like these and submit them to an approving editor:
Woman:
You certainly had a change of heart. Last time I saw you, you ran away from me.
Man:
Let me explain! I really did want to be with you, but I left you because I'd suddenly remembered I had an appointment to interview a famous king of the hoboes.[sic]

Date: 2009-12-07 10:49 pm (UTC)There is this woman who only has a quarter of a face. I had a quarter of a face once. That was some Tuesday. And this man who aparently ran away from her! I'd run away from her. She only has a quarter of a face! I mean God!
The man says he didn't run away due to her lack of face. Which is quite a surprise really. He has an apointment to interview the legendary King of Hoboes! I was the King of Hoboes once! In fact I think I still am. I don't remember this guy interviewing me? Maybe it was all the drugs. Or maybe this man is a LIAR! A lying liar who lies!
My fragile views of reality have been shattered. If you can't trust supepmaheroes to tell us the truth then who can you trust?!? Next thing you know they will say that selling your marriage to the devil to bring your elderly aunt who is at peace back to life isn't heroic!
This is Chester A. Bum saying. CHANGE?!?!?!?! You got CHANGE!?!? Come on help a guy out! I need to give more interviews to give superheroes more cover stories!
