Third Murderer posted:It would be perfectly reasonable for the Phantom to stick to the shadows and avoid being seen. How? This is a guy who regularly consults with tribal chiefs in public. He literally played a role in negotiating between one tribe's leader and some construction worker team over mineral rights. (Which I thought was hilarious, by the way. Like these western construction workers had to pretend that the big guy in purple spandex being there wasn't goddamn weird.) The only way I can see it working is if Diana turns into some kind of ninja, who exclusively knocks people out before they ever lay eyes on her, maybe wearing the skull ring. Putting aside that being that kick-rear end doesn't seem like Diana's thing - at that point she wouldn't be taking up the Phantom's mantle, or dressing like him, or hanging around in the very-obvious skull cave, etc. She'd just be some ninja version of Savarna, waiting for her son to grow up so he could actually do the job, and in the meantime fighting off threats however she could.

Did I imagine that comic where the two of them talked about it?

(I've been following this for ages, but it's easy to lose track.) But really, how would it work? I suppose you can just say, 'Well, now everyone knows that the Phantom story is a whole lot of poo poo' or 'Suddenly the Phantom has gender-changing powers' or the like. In the same way Gilchrist can do what he did to Nancy. "To hell with it, Phil Fumble's a Christian Fabio now!"

The Sphinxster posted:It's a comic strip. You may be overthinking it. Yeah, of all the places to point out what does and doesn't make sense in a comic, I think I've found the right thread.  On that note - I wish The Creeps had a tip jar or some way to donate to the author. Does GoComics do that? Because I am consistently impressed by that strip. It's rare I enjoy something enough that I want to pick up merch or donate for it, but that one's qualifying.

Obviously ¡La Fantoma! just needs to be as brutal as possible and have the Bandar refer to the Phantom as a woman. Maybe throw in a "the Ghost Who Walks knows no gender, only Justice!"* * old jungle saying

VictorGrunn posted:How? (etc) I guess what I'm saying is that I think the difficulties the Walker family would have in maintaining the Phantom myth while no one in the family is capable of appearing in public as the character would make for an interesting story? If you wanted things to return to normal after a while you have the kids grow up and let the younger Kit take over as the 22nd Phantom eventually. But maybe Kit should just heal up and then go taunt a helpless prisoner some more or swim in his money bin, I guess that would be okay too.

We had that down south here in the Cradle of Freedom, too. We still have crazy laws about what can and cannot go into cheese, thus American cheese is poo poo.
