“Kind of an a-hole” could fit in that overlap area, as well.
Love these SCIENCE! entries.
You say drunk as if it is a bad thing, Chris.
Do you know, I think of you as looking like that shot of Punisher patting the polarbear, whle you are sitting there delivering your verdicts.
“Lay down, Ironman” *delivers right cross*

Is there a reason the graph looks like a MasterCard?
Unfortunately, the Michelinie/Layton research paper is now quite dated. The last time it was regarded as being anywhere near accurate was about 1985.
Most researchers these days tend to follow the graph in the Millar/Bendis research paper from 2006. Thankfully, this graph looks exactly the same (except the word: “Drunk” has been replaced with the phrase: “Republican masturbatory fantasy of an nigh-ominpotent god-like Neocon asshole”.
I think I prefer “Drunk”.

Because Tony Stark is priceless.
Todd’s research is impeccable, and it has led me to the conclusion that the Iron Man TV lyrics need to be updated as well.

I’m off to get coffee and a donut, but I challenge the Legion of ISB to work on these a bit and see what they come up with. I don’t know whether the Writer’s Strike limits song lyrics, but the upcoming Iron Man movie producers might appreciate your efforts.
Yes, it’s all good, but that graph doesn’t take into account the nuclear underpants on the right, and the devastating head of hair on the left.
Ah the pathos of the Michelinie/Layton run. While I purchased very few of those, I did make sure to borrow them from a friend. Demon in a Bottle seems so innocent now.

So, where does “Jerk towards Elephant Steve” go?
I love how Tony Stark answered about if he was going to “meetings” in The Order.
The DKR one was leagues funnier. Perhaps a Goddamn Analysis of Batman is needed.
If I had a blog I’d post a Venn diagram of “Internet memes that are Venn diagrams vs. those that are not.”
I thought that you would want to know that I shared (and credited) this on scans_daily, along with a preview of the upcoming Iron Man Annual.
