Haha... hahahahaah!!!

Oh wait. This is serious? Um... okay...

[icon_uk]

I like the fact that the DC Source blog has closed comments on this one already, presumably because reading "OMG WTF?" and "Ha ha, jokes over, what REALLY happened?" over and over and over again from hundreds of different people is just depressing, or else even THEY can't believe the news.

This just transcends being able to make a joke of it, so I'm not even going to try.

Yeah Jade, you really didn't need to include the ellipsis before "perform" there.

Funny how a well-timed pause can transform a gentle reassurance into a subtly gross put-down.

[keeva]

I think they've shut down comments in general after it got ugly a month or two ago.

[keeva]

Yeah, here's a CA post about it.

[espanolbot]

Actually the Source disabled the comments a couple of weeks back, due to the people posting comments starting a flamewar over whether the Flash or Superman could run fastest, which deevolved into insulting DC's writing staff, editorial and their families.

...what.

I get the sense she was about to say a much more non-Comic Code Authority approved term and caught herself so as not to hurt his feelings. Because, y'know, Cheshire is all about the moderated language. o_O

[whitesycamore]

And yet they let the Joker go on an on about his boner.

It's like that time she decided to donate to charity, and instead, ended up nuking a country.

[icon_uk]

At least "Donate" SOUNDS a bit like "Detonate"

[cleome45]

:D

[whitesycamore]

I'm sure that plot was very distasteful, but hearing about it second-hand it sounds kind of hilarious.

They should make a daily comic strip about Cheshire trying to be a decent person and failing spectacularly.

[espanolbot]

'Twas the same plotline that involved the conception of Lian Harper and Power Girl's decision to never be a member of the Birds of Prey, as she blamed the nuking on Oracle... somehow.

Well, that's one award that will never hope to mean anything ever again.

[blackruzsa]

Ugh.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *headdesk*
That is my reaction to anything related to the Rise of Arsenal.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFUK

[practicalcat]

...what. What is this why does this reality exist.

Excuse me I need to headdesk until I can shatter the timestream and undo this.

[valtyr]

That sounds like a great idea for a comic.

cats and dogs living together...

[twigcollins]

It's Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa Cake in comics form. A roaring blow against the narrow confines of taste, class and reality.

"I...I was just trying to make a pie. I have no idea how that became tossing senior citizens off a cliff, but IF I STOP DOING IT, THE CRUST WILL BURN!"

[speedingtortoise]

. . . . this is a prank, right?

[greenmask]

A+!

[greenmask]

I only just realised that Cheshire isn't wearing a costume in those panels. Her breasts are so.. front and centre.

[grazzt]

Epic Facepalm
