Having Diana work at Taco Whiz is like, say... Bat-Mite showing up in Detective Comics as part of the supporting cast. For three years.

The whole Diana-flips-burgers thing and the fact that I'm able to appreciate this storyarc so much makes me wonder if, in another ten years, I'll be able to see the current Gail stuff the same way. Once the DoMA and Tresser nonsense is over and done, once it's something that, like Diana at Taco Whiz, can be read and moved on from in the space of a couple hours and then followed up by further stories where Diana is herself and in her own space and story again - will the premise merit forgiveness? The Heinboot and Shamazons are just bad writing, and will never be okay, of course, but Gail has, like WML, used that shitass premise to say some good things every now and then. It's odd to contemplate reading a panel where Diana's powerless and not twitching violently.

Of course, it does make me wonder just how many of Wondy's rogues are in it for the hatesex.

Prolly just Cheetah and Circe. Angelo's more into Donna, Psycho is... Psycho, if Cale sleeps with anybody she's got actual emotional investment in it'll be Leslie, and good lord, I don't even want to think about how that would work with Egg Fu (I mean really. He doesn't even have the tentacle mustache anymore).
