The peculiar self-censoring of Beardless Green Arrow.

Okay, maybe Green Arrow was trying to hold up to some superheroic “no swearing” ideal, but…c’mon, it’s Green Arrow. I think we can assume he’s not shy about expressing some salty language.
And I threw in that first panel there partially for context, but mostly for further examples of Mr. Queen’s talent for phrase-turning. And his heroic stance, of course. When Green Arrow akimbos at you, you know you’ve been akimboed at.
