The Saturday Comics: Jerry Lewis

11 Aug

August 11, 2012

DC is really missing the obvious move. Their New 52 initiative has been a hit, with sales through the roof and critics generally praising their comics. But with all the revamps, all the reintroductions of characters, and all the retcons, they have somehow, in some way, missed out on reviving their most popular superhero.

Jerry Lewis.

Seriously, this Jerry Lewis:

Ok, so maybe I’m not all that serious. Back in 1952, running until 1957, DC published The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The title continued, without Martin, until 1971 as The Adventures of Jerry Lewis. Yes, you read that right. For nearly 20 years DC published a Jerry Lewis title. Take that, Firestorm. There is a huge list of major characters who can’t boast a run like that. And was Lewis popular? Sure, and look at who he teamed up with.

BATMAN

SUPERMAN

WONDER WOMAN

THE FLASH

And in all honesty, I have to say that I would buy those issues. DC has a nice line of classic, hardcover reprints of old comics. A small but vocal group of fans has been clamoring to get Jerry Lewis reprinted for years. And while it would probably not be a big seller, that isn’t the reason why you won’t see it at your LCS. Jerry Lewis owns the rights and he is asking for an astronomical sum of money for the reprint rights. And that’s a shame, because wouldn’t you love to see Jerry in adventures like these?

AGAIN someone rips off my Big Ape idea!

Hey, wait a second, those guys look familiar. I think I’ve seen them somewhere before… I got it!

Hey, Hope! Get your own rogue’s gallery! You don’t see Batman fighting Brainiac, do you?

Fun With Teh Internets… Again

18 Jun

June 18, 2012


I’ve never been able to grow decent facial hair. Instead of a beard, the best I could do was a little scraggly beardling. And don’t get Mr. Blog started on my weak attempt of a moustache unless you want to hear hours of laughter.  (It’s true. The time a piece of broccoli got stuck to his face looked better- Mr. BTR) So while I may be clean-shaven now, it won’t stop me from trawling the net to find the best examples of….

MOLESTACHE!
Most modern molestache debates center on who rocked the classiest one:

John Waters (the choice of the avant-garde)

C’mon, you just know there is some strange stuff in the trunk of his car.

Or

David Niven (pick of the molestache traditionalist)

Best David Niven film? Murder by Death. You cannot argue, don’t even try.

 No matter which camp you fall into, I think we can all agree that it’s none of these guys:

5:

It’s John Waters’ slightly asthmatic and much less charismatic cousin Rupert!

4:

Mr. BTR thinks that is Keifer Sutherland on a bad day, circa Lost Boys.

Taken just before some underage girl’s father knocked him out. Tip: When bringing  daddy’s little 14 yr. old home at 3AM, never use beer as a peace-offering.

3:

All that dramatic pose does is accentuate the douche-tache.

Trust him, he’s a blood donor! Trust me, I’d rather bleed out!

2:

PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENT

And the #1 MOLESTACHE picture is……….

 

HA! You’ve been Rickrolled!

THIS GUY!

Sorry, I’m just really obsessed with this guy.  The real #1 molestache is:

Look, don’t blame me, ok?  It came up in the search. But the amazing thing is that I understand that his chest and….er, beer gut hair grew in that way naturally!
