Let's Mock Barry!
Sea of Green is back, and over at her site, the Hoosier Journal of Inanity, she is taking swings at Barry Allen instead of Hal Jordan for a change. I agree, that it is probably a good idea to give poor Hal a rest, and about two cases of Advil before we start in on him again.
I DO believe that actually of all the Flashes, Wally is the biggest doofus. I'm not counting Bart, because he was just a kid. Wally on the other hand, just BEGGED to be ridiculed on a regular basis. However, Sea has chosen not Wally, but Barry for her mockery, which is much more sporting.
It is also a bit more difficult. Barry doesn't really manage to make a fool of himself that often. Barry is NICE dammit, and he also actually has a brain. It's a bit like kicking a puppy.
However...
...He sure looks miffed here! And possibly ever so slightly terrified. You see, from the positioning of Superman's feet, in the next two seconds, he's going to trip and fall right on his Super Face. Batman will probably try and avoid the pile-up, but nobody else is that dexterous, and frankly, it's just going to be a big mess. Plus Hal will be probably trying to grope Hawkgirl, and you KNOW that Barry is the only one not in the middle of the bodies, and therefore will be the one stuck trying to unpry them all.
All in all, not one of the League's finer moments.

Hey, the creation of Barry Allen was (arguably) the beginning of the delightfully goofy Silver Age of comics. As the herald of the Silver Age, OF COURSE Barry should be picked on! :-)
No one was goofier than Snapper Carr, though. NO ONE. ;-)
Snapper Carr just sets my teeth on edge. I could never understand a single word that he said, and there was all that...that...FINGER SNAPPING! Arrgghhh!
I'll bet he is a gum-popper too. And probably cracks his knuckles.
Barry on the other hand, is just peachy.
