Maybe he sleeps on a pin cushion

I hope he doesn't get pins and needles

IN the original book "The Wizard of Oz", the scarecrow gets smart when the wizard puts some pins in his head. (He was then someone who was sharp)

Oy. What a solution.

It's like calling Ayla "Light Lass" because she makes things... light.

So you would call her "Weightless Wanda"?

It's not commonly known, but the wizard's actions here started the Scarecrow down the path where he'd end up as pinhead in Hellraiser.

Could Porcupine Pete be a descendant of the Scarecrow aka Pinhead?

That would make more sense than him being a descendant of Jonathan Crane.

How would Terrus fit into that?

I'm sure we can think of something complicated, like him being a duplicate of the original Jonathan Crane's brain patterns or something.

Taking a page from the Avengers' Vision. You know. Rehashing the same old plots over and over and over.

I was wondering if Levitz came up with it being the mask. But Raven fought a villain in Titans Hunt where a lot of the motivation came from the mask. So I might be thinking of that.


Rehashing tbe same plots is probably what makes dipping in and out of the Avengers easy. At least it was in the Busiek/Perez days. It was like I hadn't bee gone for long, and plot wise I probably hadn't been.

It could have been a piain for regular readers. But there may be sales validity in never straying too far from what makes something successful. There's still plenty of scope to arc out from that, slowly incorporating the best its as you go. Or in Pym's case thumping Jan for eternity.

I guess it helps keep characters consistent.

Especially well-known cash cows like Vision or Hank Pym.

I don't like hash browns. so reheating them or rehashing them doesn't work for me.

You should put them up against Egg Fu to rekindle your interest.

I love eggs

Egg-cellent! as said by the villain Egghead from the Batman TV show. Egghead was played by Vincent Price

I loved Tallulah Bankhead as The Black Widow on that show.

I should watch that

I watched the show as a kid and loved it. I've tried watching it as an adult and just couldn't.

I feel the same way about many shows I watched as a kid

Hopefully it is a matter of our tastes improving with age.

That’s a reasonable explanation

I watched loads of Blakes 7 when I had the sniffoos before Christmas. I hadn't seen it for years. I thought there were lots of positives in it. A budget of 50p carried to heights with some decent writing and actors.

I need to rewatch that

That wasn’t something I ever watched
