“The Girl And The Robot” is my favorite song from Röyksopp’s last album.
Who is ‘Scooter,’ and why is he ‘swinging’ about Jimmy Olsen cross-dressing?
And after that description I certainly saw another rhyme for that last line…
I’m pretty sure this is where David Bowie got the inspiration for “The Bewlay Brothers.”
How could anyone not love Jimmy Olsen with press like that?
I like how they leave off photojournalist. Way to suck at your actual JOB Olsen!
@BoBrasher: Are you sure it wasn’t the mouth that made you think that?
Why are we wasting watching movies about those useless dipshit tools Superman and Batman, when the full potential of Jimmy Olson has yet to be filmed?
I look at this, and I am suddenly, inexplicably reminded of an older ISB entry, featuring the transcript of the radio promo for ‘The Human Tornado’ that was performed by the guy who played Dolemite (name escapes me ATM), and I imagine him delivering this set of lines. In my head, it sounds even more hilarious than normal.
Is it just me, or is it really hard to realize that this is supposed to be a poem?
Oh, I see, he’s awesome! That’s why he’s making his awesome face. Which looks a lot like an “alone time with the Playboy mag” face for no particular reason.
Reports that he’s a bitch, he’s a lover, he’s a child, he’s a mother are still unconfirmed.
Jimmy Olden is also: a smoker, a joker, and a midnight toker.
Jimmy may be a master of disguise, but let’s face it: “Gangster” and “Rock-and-Roller” aren’t disguises for Mr. Olsen. Those are his TRUE IDENTITIES.
Jimmy Olsen is outlaw rock and roll personified. He is a walking super-sweet guitar solo played on a Gibson double-neck guitar.
Deny this truth at your peril.
edosan, he is also a picker, and a grinner, a lover, and a sinner
He also plays his music in the sun
Gape with wonder as Jimmy Olsen, Master of Disguise, transforms into the “Bearded Boy” by … um, putting on a beard.
Hey, where’d Jimmy disappear to? And who’s this robot with a cowboy hat and leopardskin bikini standing in his place?
Seymour Hersh once turned into a unicorn but you don’t hear him bragging about it. Hey, Olsen, you hear that? Seymour Hersh! And did Olsen ever win the Pulitzer Prize? Of course no —
Oh.
I guess that’s three Pulitzer Prize winners who have changed into cavemen and robots.
The best part is that this comes out of an issue of Swing with Scooter. Awesome.
Jimmy Olsen + The Human Target = $$$! Call me DC!
It’s like DC was saying, “Hey you with the ‘Swing with Scooter’ comic. How’d you like a book about a REAL man?”
I would totally buy a monthly Jimmy Olsen book if given the opportunity. Tragically, that’s about as likely as Marvel coming out with an Adventures of Aunt May, Herald of Galactus series.
Hmmm…then again, they are doing those super-pet titles, aren’t they?
Also, I can’t belive they couldn’t fit “Homo Disastrous” into that rhyme scheme.
I was stone and he was wax so he could scream and still relax
Don’t forget pimp. A massive, massive pimp.
I’d imagine if they put out a New Adventures of Jimmy Olsen comic and rotated five or six comics bloggers as the writers, they’d have a massive hit on their hands.
But, y’know, Magog’s a good idea too, DC.
So, for the right price, Jimmy Olsen is whoever you want him to be?

Or, you know, one blogger. Who is named Chris Sims. With art by Matthew Allen Smith.
I suspect Buckaroo Banzai set out to emulate Jimmy Olsen… but just couldn’t make the grade.
I would say that Jimmy Olson is a giant something that rhymes with “gag”, but it’s not “mag”.
