- Dispatches from The Fridge: a new women ‘n’ comics linkblog from pals Lisa and Kalinara.
- Panels for Primates is a charity comics anthology raising awareness for the Primate Rescue Center…the first story is by Stuart Moore and Rick Geary, and it’s a good’un. Click the “chapter” links across the top of the page for more contributions…updates every Wednesday.
- While Bully the Little Stuffed Bull successfully makes the argument that both Steve and Diana are big jerks to each other, I find myself most fascinated by what must be the most hideous rendition of Superman I’ve ever seen in that last panel there.
- CAPTAIN AMERICA BURNS IN FIRE. Well, an alleged Captain America, anyway. Or maybe Cap was just smoke-damaged. But I had no idea there was this level of contention over who really is the real Captain America.
Did Supergirl snap that guy’s neck?
From the placement of the sound effect, it appears either Supergirl’s or the other person’s knee just snapped. Judging from the squared off angle, I’m guessing other guy’s right knee.
Thanks for mentioning Panels for Primates, Mike. Much appreciated!

You can tell that’s not the REAL Captain America. It has a bionic throttle, a Soviet star on the carburetor, and there is a gun holster strapped to the sissy bar. Whilst speaking to the arson investigator, the unidentified owner slipped up when he referred to it as “Bucky”.
Never mind Superman, look at Diana in the second to last panel! Even allowing for the horrible glasses, her face looks terribly proportioned, more like a strategicaly shaved chimp than a woman’s face.
I actually thought Diana had a date with Bizarro there for a second. *shudder*
How Abraham Lincoln really died. She punched him so hard, it not only took off his hat, but made him bald.
Eh, Lincoln deserved it. He was always so handsy.
Man, I loved that era when Supergirl had a whole wardrobe of costumes that were distinct, but all recognizably “SUPERGIRL”.
Some of them were awful, some terrific, but I’d rather have the worst of them than the current damned belly shirt.
Wow! That fire was actually very close to my house. Can’t believe someone just had that sitting in a garage in South Austin.
Thanks for posting this Supergirl panel done by my dad!
Happy Holidays
