    After we're done beating up Iron Man, can I keep him in a box under my bed and take him out when I feel the need for him to sexually please me?

    Oooh, I just realized why I like Tiny Dr. No so much, even though I hate scary babies.


    She's a dead ringer for me at that age, outfit and all.

    Magnificent! I've... sniff... never been prouder to be a member of ROACH. We're truly everywhere.


    Don't care if Tiny Dr. No was a meme before, now she is a BETTER meme. Can we get a URL on her?


    The work on Where the Rock 'Ems Terminate is particularly nice.


    Also, big snicker at the "greatest work" one, and good layout on poor Tony.

    So is it bad i wanna bang that blonde chick in the last pic? She looks like she has some serious daddy issues that will lead me to her backdoor.


    And she might even bring a friend to let daddy know she's really pissed she didn't get Barbie's Malibu Mansion for her birthday 9 years ago.

    Hold on, I thought we were just about getting rid of chubby/citizen heroes. I didn't know there was another step in the plan that includes unleashing rock-em-sock-em robots to destroy the Wild Things and John Conner.


    Is there some kind of written Mission Statement or prospectus that details all the plans, because I really don't want to join any kind of evil organization that doesn't have all its evil financing in an evil row. I don't want to be held financially responsible if something bad (or should I say good) happens.

    I was just explaining to one of my friends that works there that they REALLY needed to update that ride, and that they've supposedly filmed stuff years ago. (Maybe it wasn't good enough?)


    He also told me that Tomorrowland itself will probably never get a proper futuristic update since they made it all retro-futurey back in the late 90s. ("Brass" everything, starburst designs, gas rockest.)


    Hell, their Autopia cars all run on smelly-ass diesel and are sponsored by Cheveron. Some future.

    @OctEgon: They royally fucked up Tomorrowland's Kick Ass Mid Century "Modern Future" look with the gross "Steampunk by Way of Michael Graves" look when they changed it over a few years ago.
