The “Widow Miss Muffet” storyline resumes tomorrow and wraps up Friday. In the meantime, here’s another mini-tribute to the artist of that saga and today’s comic, the late Dick Giordano.
“…Detective #457…showed me how much Dick Giordano was responsible for the greatness of those Neal Adams comics that I thought Dick had been ‘just inking’. This was a comic drawn with beautiful realism, perfect line work, dramatic lighting, phenomenally beautiful women, and all the things that made those Neal comics wonderful, only Neal wasn’t around for this issue. It turned out DICK WAS THE GUY who had been doing much of that all along. And there was a subtle difference in the storytelling. It was somehow more accessible, more “readable”, more directly told, than I was used to from this familiar style, and in many ways I LIKED IT BETTER!”

WOMAN: Soup is like sex! The hotter the better!
MAN: Soup’s safer! I keep burning my tongue during sex!

According to medieval legends, virgins have one super power: the ability to capture unicorns. Alas, unicorns are in short supply these days.
Personally I blame global warming. And perhaps the Japanese. (Hey, they kill whales! How much harder would unicorns be?)
In any event, without an ample supply of unicorns, our country’s moral purity is at stake. No unicorns equals no virgins. It’s that simple.
So forget about sex education and vows of chastity. The U.S. government needs to launch a Department of Unicorn Development. I’m willing to take charge of this effort. Just send me $100 billion and a few alleged virgins for unicorn bait. I’ll do the rest.

WOMAN (thinking): Gee! I didn’t even get a chance to pretend I’m a virgin!

Darn sex manuals. How dare they put out editions that are upside down…
↓ TranscriptCAPTION: It was the sort of honeymoon my mother had always warned me about--painful and boring!
SCENE: Man and woman standing on rickety pier. He has her hands on each side of her face.
MAN: B-but It's not my fault! The sex manual was upside down! I'm almost sure of it!
WOMAN: I-I guess we could try again!
PANEL 2, SCENE: Man and woman embrace, smiling.
MAN: That’s the spirit! And this time, I'll try not to cry so much!
WOMAN: Actually, I kind of liked that part!

This is loosely based on something said (in a very public forum) by a real person. In fact, at the time, she was a comic book editor. I’ve never been sure if she was serious.
But she and her husband broke up shortly after that. So you have to wonder…
