With my normal vision power, I can see you are digging a pit trap.

"What else am I thinking Saturn Girl?"

"Well, it just so happens that I won our county's Rantak Calling Championship three years in a row, Miss SuperSmarty Pants!"

"Popcorn, where's my popcorn? Bantak's LOVE popcorn!"
'Thinking popcorn, Saturn Girl. Get my popcorn.'

And how come Saturn Girl couldn't use her telepathic power to see how Stone Boy would lure the Rantak?

That hole is really 100 feet deep, and he's using his flight belt to lift the soil out.

It's somehow comforting to know that, even in the 31st century, they still dig holes with good ol' fashioned shovels.

It's somehow comforting to know that, even in the 31st century, there are serene countryside landscapes like that.

Even as the adventure develops before us, Cezanne 5 is just over the other side of the hill, sketching the pastoral scene into his Space Pad...

Stone Boy's secret power was to avoid getting dirt on himself or mussing up his hair by breaking a sweat. (He is digging a hole while wearing something akin to a turtleneck.)

Does Imra hear through her pelvic bone? Is that why she's thrusting it out towards Stone Boy?

John Forte's stiff art fills me with joy!!

Little does Saturn Girl realize that Stone Boy is also engaging in the traditional Zwenian custom of throwing dirt over your shoulder for good luck!

This goes for all the Legionnaires who come from planets where everyone can do what they do. How is being able to do what a whole world of people being able to do what you do a "super power"? I mean if I traveled to a world where no one had opposable thumbs, could I say I had the super power of one handed grasp? Call me Grip Boy!

Yes, and then you could join the Appendagers.

I've always thought there's got to be an interesting story about an Earth-human crash landing on the planet of the blind, or the planet of the really short people, or something, and becoming a super-hero.

Many years ago, there was a "Tales of Green Lantern" backup story in which the Guardians recruited an alien from a sightless world. The words "Green" and "Lantern" held no meaning for him. So, he ended up becoming "The Clanging Bell," or somesuch.

Rot Lop Fan, The F-Sharp Bell!

...Why do I remember this? (I mean, I didn't even have to look it up.)

Ah, yes: The F-Sharp Bell. Thanks, Enigma.

Why did you remember it? Probably for the same reason I remembered it (even though I didn't remember the character's name): It was a good story that cast something familiar in a new light (pun not intended). I had never thought of how "Green Lantern" might be perceived by a sightless culture.

I would think that would be a great impediment to a Green Lantern, though.

How would he know if he was up against something yellow?

Perhaps B-flat serves the same purpose?

Slow news day.

In the next panel, Superman shoves a cucumber up Garth's arse ...
