Tiger, Tiger: The Burning Bright Question

These panels are from Teen Titans and Amazing Spider-man respectively.

In them, two of comics' flirtiest female characters are using the same colloquialism, ie addressing an onlooker (in the former case the reader him or herself) as Mary Jane's "Tiger" or in the case of Wonder Girl by the plural "Tigers" denoting that presumably Teen Titans has more than one reader.

So the burning bright question becomes - which came first?



The answer is the Spider-man panel. It is from 1966 while the Titans panel is from 1969. Therefore, by the parameters established in the previous post, Teen Titans is a *COMPLETE RIPOFF* of Amazing Spider-man.

But not really. Both comics rule and are quite distinct from each other. And both those final panels make my face look like this :) on account of them being so cool, and drawn so beautifully by two super artists, John Romita, Sr. and Nick Cardy* (Spidey and Titans respectively).

What else do these two things have in common? Why, the best thing of all! Both have amazing theme songs! When there's trouble you know who to call! The Hepcat Hermit! Like a streak of light he arrives just in time!

BOBBY SHERMAN!!!

Wonder Girl likes Bobby Sherman. He smiles a lot and is not obsessed with looking cool. He is not like grim and gritty people that need to be frowning at all times for fear someone catches them not looking cool and reports them to the coolness police. This is a great song about breakups and visiting a dark part of your soul and coming back from it. He was on a show called Shindig! with Donna Loren and they made awesome music.




People who don't like Bobby Sherman are wrong. In fact I would go so far as to say they are WRONGO BONGO. Go listen to indie rock and your sensitive boys with their silly guitars going "Ooooo I feel so sad because I lost my favourite sandals when I was at that indie rock festival being so coooooool" And then have a samosa and some tea and talk about how "real" your boring music is. Except that your music is actually just real boring.

Wow, I'm going off today. I even said wrongo bongo.
