  1. Mom always told me, “never fuck around with a black man in a tiara”. Looking at that last picture, i’m glad I followed her advice…

  2. I wanna see a Luke Cage/Wonder Woman team-up, just so they can compare their tiaras(tiari?) and silver bracelets. Plus, if Luke Cage is in the DCU he can stop by and show Supergirl the difference between Power Boy and Power MAN.

  3. Hmmmm. I would have thought that Ali from Vimanarama was Pakistani, not Indian (well, I mean, he’s British, but in terms of his family’s ethnic background).

    And even if he was Indian, its the wrong sort of Indian by a distance of around 4000+ miles. Don’t want to be all picky and stuff, but it might as well be a picture of a Frenchman or someone from Brazil, for all the sense it makes in the context of the post.

    On Mr. Phat’s planet, they are seemingly unfamiliar with the Earthling concept known as “humor.”

    …perhaps it would have been more funny if the gag wasn’t ruined by virtue of it containing a reference to the wrong kind of Indian, and a picture of a Pakistani.

    Unless an American Indian is somehow the same as someone from India – when the guy in the picture isn’t Indian anyway – then there’s nothing there for me to laugh at, only scratch my head and say “wha”?

  7. T.T.W.L.M., I wouldn’t really classify puns as “humour”. Mr Phat is clearly unacquainted with wordplay.

  8. Geez, I seem to have started a thing. I mean, I laughed. It was funny. And that opening spread in Vimanarama is clearly influenced by Indian movies even if Ali himself is not Indian, so … yeah! There you go.

  9. Scipio G. favors the term “Paki.” ‘Cause he’s heard people calling themselves that, so it must be okay.

    On a happier note, the post brought a smile to my eek, Chris.

  10. Oooh the tension. .

    Just like a real family get together! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

  11. I HATE THIS POST AND I HATE ALL OF YOU!

    …JUST STOP FIGHTING! *SOB* (just like Thanksgiving at my house! Thanks for dredging up all sorts of memories, Chris…)

    PS> for Mr. Phat’s sake, this is a humorous attempt as well, not actual pain.

  12. I dunno much about Vinamorama, other than that I should have read it by now, because it’s Morrison-written, and thus stands a good chance of awesomeness.

    All I know for sure is, if there’s a perfect philosophy of how life should be approached, it’s somewhere between Scott Pilgrim’s statement in the first panel here, and Luke Cage’s actions in the third.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
