Arg's Playroom 059: Gratitude

[Arg]

The last part of this strip was inspired by the last part of the JLU episode, "This Little Piggy".

[fenrir72]

Is that the episode where Diana was turned into a pig by Circe? Nice ...............with a little humor given the original episode's heavy theme.

[Uberjam]

HAHAHA bitinin ba? hahaha

yep that part came from that episode

[Arg]

yes, i took batman's line from that episode. i don't think the episode's theme was heavy, though. actually i found it amusing and entertaining. wonder pig deflecting a bullet with her bracelets? bwana beast seeing zatanna's legs (and eventually the rest of her) for the first time? medusa contemplating about freedom in 3010 (or was it 4010)? batman taking center stage where he should be (he is the main reason why i watch jlu in the first place)? if that's not light comedy, i don't know what is! you might be confusing this ep with the later eps (jlu vs cadmus, etc), fenrir.

[Uberjam]

oh i just remembered... that's the episode where BATMAN SANG for circe to break diana's curse... now that's a cool episode... batman singing "em i blue?... yada yada yada" (i forgot the rest of the song hehehe)

[fenrir72]

You know how angst ridden Bats is. That what i meant with the heavy theme...................having a girlfriend and saying thank you............singing.....that's like pulling teeth with Bats.

[xentar]

oo nga bro... one of my fave na episodes to dahil sa pagkanta ni batman........

oh. i thought you meant heavy for us viewers!

honestly, though, batman's so synonymous with gloom and irritability that i don't even notice anymore. like many others, i just play on that and have tons of fun in the process (is that what they call dry humor? or deadpan humor? krgreen, help me out here!)! i forget that the bat has feelings! i remember you standing up for them a while back with the essence strip, where you pointed out that his parents were killed by a heartless mugger.

anyway, thanks for clearing that up. as for expressing feelings, i'll leave that to superman! ;D

[fenrir72]

Yeah poor supes..............dis a little bit "naughty", but he's got this big...............muscles and just doesn't know where to stick it right? hehehe Now his layin' all his frustrations on ole Brucee pooh..........why not Diana? You naughty boy!!!!!!!!!

maybe "dark humor"? hehehe. sorry, pun intended. it's nice to see that batman is human after all, to break the monotony of his usual cold analytical self. anyway it's a jlu show not a batman show, so i guess they didn't want it to be too dark, even if it was about batman.

to answer your question, i'll post my response to a similar topic on another message board:

it's been implied that, despite their differences, supes and bats have a mutual admiration for each other. supes, thanks to his candidness, just has an easier way of showing that admiration. we're just playing on that implication and doing a twisted take on it.

besides, i don't see anyone lending me a wonder woman fig.

[matttracker]

that's nice. batman just has a subtle or i might say a diffent way of expressing his loss. anyway, good skit pare!

[ThunderBreak]

i always look forward to your skits... they are very entertaining

[Arg]

thanks for the compliments! although, i officially call them 'stweeps'.
