Someone should cross-post to the Badass Panels Thread the stand-off where Joe Pi talks not-Superman of the not-JLA pedophile ring into killing himself and uses his robot nature as a legal cover saying that he is a "poor hostage negotiator."

I don't really keep up with newspaper Spidey (although I probably should), but I like how all it takes is a lovely haircut to identify an Osborne in any given setting.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

It gets better -- they've broken into his house, and Black Widow slammed Harry's hand in his night table drawer, simply because the Hobgoblin has showed up again.

I don't know which is better; the fact that Tiny-Man's "giant ray gun" is just a normal-sized pistol, or how Dr. Fate is referring to Captain Marvel as a "thing-a-mi-jig".

Me, I enjoy the fact that Atom-Jaw and Tinyman are apparently standing in midair because gently caress perspective.

Incidentally, Elasticman was called Plastic Man in the issue before this one, but DC cleared their throat and reached for their lawyers.

Apparently there was also a character called Dr. Doom, and Captain Marvel's teen sidekick was "Billy Baxton".

If she was a psychiatrist, she did go through med school and get her MD. Even if she wasn't very good. Like the old joke says, what do you call someone that graduates in the bottom third of their med school? Doctor.

Psychology is the nonmedical degree.

I know this has gone back and forth, but I've always liked the background that Harley was a very good psychiatrist -- Akrham is a dream job for someone who really cares about abnormal psychiatry and treating the criminally insane. It's just that, well, getting inside the Joker's head is a terrible terrible terrible idea.

Dini himself has gone back and forth. In Mad Love it's implied she slept her way to a decent GPA, but Gotham Sirens has her be good enough to mess with multiple Gothamites' heads.

I like the idea that maybe both are true, and it fits. She has the potential to be really, really good at it if she's motivated, but she cut corners. So instead of working at school she slept her way to good grades. Instead of putting in the time to build herself up she went to Arkham to try and get a book deal out of sessions with the Joker. She knows what she's doing perfectly well, but she takes the easy way.

I prefer to think she was a mediocre psychologist until she hooked up with Joker. Being around that much crazy for that long is sure to give you all kinds of insights into the human mind.

Personally I'd rather no character in comics "sleep their way" through school or jobs because that's a hosed up sexist stereotype that has very little basis in reality other than spite from male colleagues.
