Lt. Drake of the U.S. Naval Intelligence

[mistygeek]

I am not a Lt. Drake of the U.S. Naval Intelligence fan. His stories have nice random things like people sewn inside of fish (not seen here), but mostly he is just proven to be annoying. Still I thought something could be found in this.

There is a lot of wrong here.

I just want to know where they got all those humpbacked Rasputin clones.

[his_spiffynesss]

They way they are built, I assumed they were several miniature Rasputins hiding in an overcoat.

Which makes me think Soviet cloning technology still has a way to go.

Wasn't Lady Luck supposed to join the Justice League in the reboot? They made a big ol huff about it.

[mistygeek]

I don't know, but I would be really surprised if that happened.

[skjam]

Yeah, the Justice League was supposed to pick up its new, diverse members once it got to the present day. But with the decompression, I don't think they've even caught up to the Green Lantern status quo yet.

I said I'd pick up Justice League when Ryan Choi was on it. They promised us Ryan. That was over a year ago and still nothing, so still haven't bought a Justice League comic. ('cept International. Gotta support Booster and Guy.)

No Ryan Choi, no Element Woman either... well, yet I suppose.

Ah, the days when being a woman meant that your job immediately got a "girl" or "lady" in front of it. Somewhere, Lady Cop is proud.

Wow, not even the layouts are good.
And for the first few panels the "Russian" accents read as more like a stereotypical Italian thug.
And there's a gun in your hip pocket? Suuuuuuuure Lt. Drake.

I really want to make the obvious joke, but I'll refrain...

[his_spiffynesss]

Yeah, there were lots of artists who were just not very good in the early days of comics. But they probably turned in their work on time, which counted a lot more with those early editors more than anything else.

[mistygeek]

What is important is he improved so much.

[espanolbot]

Weird place for a Four Weddings and a Funeral reference to come up...

[his_spiffynesss]

500 miles an hour with a propeller? That's supersonic speeds.

[glprime]

Was gonna say.

[leoboiko]

Damn, Igor, just indulge her fetishes already and she'll spill.
