Re-reading some old Aquaman stories, I think I've found the all-time winner for funniest panel of an Aquaman story. Maybe. I thought I'd share it with my loyal readers, and also with anyone who happens to pop in and read for no apparent reason. This is from an old story illustrated by John Daly, who was the third regular Aquaman artist.
I'm particularly fond of the guy to Aquaman's right (our left) whose apparently having a similar reaction to the heroine of the film they are watching.
You could also take this as proof that Aquaman didn't have a one-hour limit in the Golden Age, as he watches a film with no problem, and also takes a cross-country trip on a train, sleeping in a normal sleeper car (no special tank or anything).
I was given the page from Maxim magazine that features Aquaman on trial for being the lamest superhero. It's just the typical nonsense. Nothing original in this one. At least the artwork is pretty good, and I didn't have to buy the magazine (which, given this sample, is definitely NOT something I'd enjoy) to see it. Sometime I'd like to see a funny parody of Aquaman, one that doesn't trot out the tired old "lamest Super Friend" schtick.
Just as I finished this bit of the blog, I found a link to a scan of the parody. If you've got a fast modem, judge for yourself. The website it's on is actually fairly perturbing (is that even a word?). Not for the weak of heart.
If you read Girl Genius you must go immediately to the Girl Genius site and visit the Jägermonster Barracks. They really like their hats...
