Because Sometimes, You Just Have To See Karate Kid Laying the Smack Down On an Elephant From Space

And tonight is one of those times.

 

 

Sadly, that was actually a Jovial Mastodon, whose only crime was joy.

 

Val Armorr engages in pachyderm pugilism in the pages of Adventure Comics #358, handily reprinted in both gloriously monochromatic and lurid full-color versions.

  1. I always knew Karate Kid was a jerk.

    If that gigantic popped collar on his ’70s costume was any indication, the guy’s a super-douchebag.

  2. Only the classiest of gentlemen wore gigantic popped collars in ’70s comics. So says the titanic team of Dr. Strange and Iron Fist!

  3. Off topic, but the confirmation receipt no. I recieved from a government website after lodging a form was SIMS1275262. I chose to interpret that as a good omen, and not a warning that the government is going to kick me in the face (again).

  4. On the one hand, it’s sad that even 1000 years in the future Ralph Macchio is still living off the fame of one role – but on the other, if he would only beat up an elephant every time he appeared I would totally start watching Ugly Betty.

  5. No fair! The Mastodon was forced, for the sake of sanity, to avert its eyes from the no-underpants-and-skirt Zap Brannigan combo, and Karate Kid super-kinghit him! Flag on the play.

  6. Q) Why is a Jovian Mastodon always ready to go swimming?

    A) Cause he’s always got a pair of trunks.

  7. Actually, Dave, that was the exact joke I wish I was smart enough to make.
