Pants chat: stay away from normal texture, you want that super smooth fabric. I've got some shorts from khols that have lasted a year when, previously, they'd wear out in about three months of use.

What the blue gently caress are you doing to wear shorts out in three months?

God drat, I have jeans that are older than some SA posters, that I wear on lazy weekends.

Hank Pym has been around since before Avengers #1 in 1963.

Hank hit Janet in Avengers 213 in 1981.

Did Hank beat the poo poo out of Janet in the Ultimates? Because in 213 it was a backhand that left her with a blackeye. I don't think that counts as beating the poo poo out of someone.

Halfway through the incredibly popular (at the time) first volume of Ultimates, yeah. The issue was titled Giant Man vs the Wasp.

It's not just the physical abuse, either—Pym serves up a cornucopia of deplorable poo poo there. He starts by basically slut-shaming; then tells her that being a minority is shameful and she had god drat well hope she can keep passing; then hits her for not respecting him enough; then, after his "oh no, I never meant to, baby darling let me help" fails, he accuses her of starting the fight; and, moreover, that she always does starts the fights (but "ends up worse" from them).

On a technical level, it's actually an impressively authentic depiction of an abusive, controlling husband/partner. I have no loving idea why anyone thought it was a good thing to put in a goddamn Avengers comic, but there you go.

No, I don't think they did it because of a Toys R Us shopping spree.

Just the picture. As far as I know, no one's made a shirt of it.

Keep both threads plus this thread open because oversight is a pre-Trumpian concept.
