Missed Connections
I'm a big fan of Chris Sims' writing about comics. His slight obsession with absurd Batman panels makes me a little hot for him, so maybe I'm prejudiced, but I think he's a funny guy. Today he posted to Comics Alliance a list of Super-Hero Missed Connections ads that really and deeply amuse me. Well, OK, the one about Lobo? Enh, but I'm kind of reflexively that way about anything involving Lobo.
On his own blog, Sims links to the inspiration for them: a hilarious parody screenshot of a Gotham City Craigslist page done by Kevin Church.
I'm a big fan of any work that explores the more pedestrian, everyday corners of otherwise fantastical settings such as these - yes, I liked the first part of Gotham Knight best of all - and some of these are a perfect example of that: Bowser wants a friend, Adam Strange wants a day off from planet-saving, Batman wants at long last to have a good word with Catwoman. Anything that relies on the notion super-heroes are really just people after all will align nicely with my own entertainment tastes, as these mostly do.
