...And speaking of "Spurts"
God, I am SO juvenile sometimes. Well...all of the time. So I just HAD to post this.
Yes, that's Guy, and yes that's Beetle. This is right before Ted lends Guy that gawdawful prototype suit of armor, because Guy's yellow ring is being...unreliable. Ted of course WOULD jumpt to the conclusion that he jumps to, and it is a darned good thing that Booster isn't around.
You know, Guy and Ted did fight a lot, but it's interesting that Guy would pick him to go to with his troubles.

Heh, heh, heh ... Ted was so ornery. Poor Guy. :-)
Well, thanks to Jaime's Blue Beetle series, we now know that Guy respected Ted A LOT -- a heck of a lot more than Ted respected Guy, no doubt.
Again, poor Guy. :-)
Ted DID enjoy playing tricks on Guy, didn't he? My feeling is that he REALLY wanted to prank Batman, but wasn't quite that suicidal, so Guy was a safer target.
It's possible that Ted was fond of Guy is a weird sort of way. In the issue of Countdown to Infinite Crises, when he' running around hunting down clues, he is talking to Hal, and asks where Guy is, and seems rather disappointed that Guy is off cruising Saturn with Kyle.
I always hated this art, but I have to admit to a certain sort of fondness for Guy's obstinate chin jut there.
I get friendly-type teasing vibes from this, at least. As opposed to that ice-skating Guy puppet thing. That was just cruel. (Funny, though, I admit.)
The Ice Capists scene WAS over the top, but as you say, awfully funny. Beetle's problem is that he never quite knew when to quit. He didn't HAVE to put the mannequin in Guy's bed afterwards.
Beetle was really just as childish as Guy was, without the excuse of brain damage.
Hee hee hee!
