Yeah, I met Joe at the MOC - he looks nothing like that guy.

That's right. You all can look me up under "Asian stud".

Um, maybe not.

Somebody actually printed copies. That's pretty sad. If they were just going to waste money like that, I'd have taken the cash off their hands.

I don't like the abuse of that Lana Lang panel.  That's just wrong.

How it got approved by the Comics Code people is beyond me!

Wow. I have one of the (I presume) original photocopies. My friend said it was on the DC table at Baltimore a few years ago. I never mentioned it because I didn't think it was right. But I had intended to scan it & send it to Matt, since he's one of the "stars." It's in one of my comic boxes though.

I wish I was cool enough to spend all of my time and energy mocking people.

Actually, the guy in the flyer is a "Joe Zhang". You can
find him under an image search in Yahoo. But he's
not me.

I wonder if a copy of this has ever been shown to that
other Joe Zhang. Or possibly to his lawyer.

Funny?  I guess.  My basic reaction is, yawn, whatever.

'Inane, tired crap' or LOL-worthy 'comedy gold'? It's so very hard to decide. No, wait, it isn't. 'Crap' it is.

Now that's just hilarious. Not the fact that it's going on, but actually labelling it that, Mike. Gave me a well deserved laugh (which the flyer didn't).

As for the entire "Joe Zhang" bit, I must admit that I've never even really thought about Joe's ethnicity. Whenever I think of something he's written or commented upon, I see Peter Parker in tears, so that's the power of an image for you.

Rewatching Twin Peaks right now (since I just got my Season 2 box 2 (Swedish edition)) is also interesting given Mike's recent re-appearance in here. Seeing Cooper does tend to pull my mind in here at times.

Sorry, just clearing some phlegm out of my throat.
