Thor #154

DREW:
This issue of Thor is pretty sweet. He tells a bunch of hippies to quit bein' dirty hippies and act like men. How sweet is that?


BRENT:
You know, I never really read a lot of Thor comics growing up (yes, I know, I missed out), but that sounds like the funniest issue of Thor possible! What, no hippies in Asgard?

DREW:
Asgard is for HEROES! That means no hippies allowed.



Jimmy Olsen #118

DREW:
If DC & Marvel had done crossovers back in the day, perhaps Thor could have journeyed to Metropolis and put a stop to “Hippie Olsen's Hate-In!” That's right, just when you thought Jimmy Olsen's adventures couldn't get any weirder, he falls in with a bunch of evil Kryptonite using hippies, punches out Perry White, and turns against Superman! Sure, he turns against Superman in just about every issue, but this time it's worse because he's turned into a no-good hippie! In anyone ever deserved to be smote with Thor’s enchanted hammer, it’s Hippie Olsen.


BRENT:
Considering the comic is technically prefixed with "Superman's Pal," aren't we just confused at how Kal-el hasn't just punched Jimmy right in the face by now? When Jimmy's not hurling green K at Supes with a catapult, or collecting Kryptonian tears by making Clark cry during a movie (we assume that alien tears have the same properties as a gentleman named Chuck Norris), he's given Superman BRAIN SURGERY. That's one "pal" I think we could all do without.

DREW:
He’s still Superman’s Pal because (a) Jimmy’s actions are usually the result of some kind of crazy misunderstanding and (b) Superman is more understanding than us, so he always forgives him.

BRENT:
He truly is a super man.

Oh yeah, and he was also once a giant turtle. How could I forget!
