What. Too soon?
About Me
- Name: SallyP
- Location: Windsor Locks, Connecticut, United States
I am a middle-aged suburban housewife with four kids and a husband, two dogs and a cat who has trouble figuring out what the litter box is for. I probably have waaaay too much time on my hands. Actually, in updating this, the cat is gone, and most of the kids have moved out, but we still have all of their stuff, so it is a good thing that we have a big house. Also, I have become a Grandmother!

lol! of course not too soon! today's kids, they don't know how easy they've got it.
I like Roy, but he's got to stop being so mean to all of his friends.
Not nearly soon enough!
Geez. Mia's at fault because she was baby-sitting Lian. Ollie's at fault because he stole Roy's revenge and then got himself thrown in jail (where Roy can't hit him). And Dinah's at fault because, um, she presumed to try and empathize with Roy and a barren woman has no right to grieve the loss of a child she helped raise.
Part of me wants to feel sorry for the guy when I see him lashing out -- it's a totally human response. On the other, er, hand, other people have unbelievable awfulness happen to them too, Roy.
This reminds me weirdly of Dinah's tirade against Ollie, where she essentially accused him of killing Prometheus in order to make her divorce him...
Isn't this from the Justice League story where Hal couldn't use his power ring because he had an uncontrollable stutter? The implication was that his brain was stuttering as well -- which is hardly a surprise if you think about it. :-)
Not sure if this was the story with the stutter, but it is the one where all the Justice League members lose a limb or two...for some convoluted reason. Hal loses the arm and hand with the ring.
Members of the Justice League losing limbs left and right? My goodness, that sounds like a horror story!!
Oh, that Silver Age.
Definitely not too soon. Your comedic timing is as excellent as always, Sally.
