Evidence the pros read Casstoons (some of them, at least)

[ebailey140]

With it being the strip's 5th Anniversary...

For a while, there was a recurring joke...









Then, in the comic, we had this scene...





So, it would seem that Miller reads Casstoons. Or...

Steph is slightly metahuman, her superpowers being cracking wise and accidentally exploding people. Or...

EspanolBot is secretly been a 4th Wall breaking Barbara Gordon all this time, and that occasional griping about things Babs has done has just been to throw us off the scent.

Scans from Bab's, um, I mean EspanolBot's DA page, here... http://espanolbot.deviantart.com/

And from Bruce Wayne, The Road Home: Batgirl.



Any other shout-outs that we've seen?

I'm not sure if I've said this before, but

EspanolBot should try and become a prof. writer for DC. It would so work, and I would buy every comic

If they are reading casstoons, I definitely want to hear Ollie use that line in a comic ;)

Second the EspanolBot-as-prof-writer nomination. Anyway, DC needs a comic like Deadpool or Sensational She-Hulk so they don't have to take themselves so damn seriously all the time.

i honestly don't remember her accidently exploding people (though i think i do remember the mugger:) can some one post the pages where Steph accidently explodes people?

and if Miller did read this, heh kudos on him for being on the meme wagon :D

Third issue, I think that it was, she accidentally set a bum on fire by kicking him into a burning oil drum. Then in the one with Damian, there was a guy who had petrol for blood and was burning stuff, but Steph's attempt to stop Damian accidentally burning himself, Dick and Steph to death resulted in her freezing him in a block of ice.

Ptf.. I always knew espanolbot was a Time Lord.

I know that Gail Simone has read some of 'em. :) Also the guy who writes Wonderella, though I think that he thought that the injokes were... a little too injokey.

Or he just noticed the same pattern :)

I don't really see the "evidence" here.

Ah! But I wouldn't be surprised, nowadays the comic book circles do exchange whatever funny stuff or critic of the moment they'd found online.

Now I want Casstoons Cassie to appear in the Gates of Gotham! :P

It happens.... quite a lot.

Hooray for inserts!(?)
