	Some fun moments there, though Catwoman would have been able to work out Tim's ID since Hush, when Bruce told Selina his own secret ID. And odd little sidenote; "Name Your Poison" was written by Richard O'Brien of the "Rocky Horror Show" fame. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Technically I think that she might have know from when Bruce adopted Tim , as Bruce and Tim didn't really socialise much in civilian guise for her to make the connection. I think that this was the first time she called him by his first name though. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wouldn't she technically be his mom rather than his aunt? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	espanolbot 2009-04-12 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	She's been a friend of an older friend longer than being his adopted dad's on again off again girlfriend (I mean the last time Selina and Bruce were serious was before Tim was adopted). I see it being like how my mum got my sisters and I to refer to her friends from school as Aunt Something, and the like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean the last time Selina and Bruce were serious was before Tim was adopted "Heart of Hush" begs to differ. They may not have dated, but they made the depths of their feelings very, very clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Also, in CATWOMAN there was a scene with her in the 'cave with Bruce, where she told him she wanted to give Helena up for adoption, and Tim babysat in the background. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Two things:
1. Casstoons - lol, very nice, love your work espanolbot
2. I understand the rule about having a comic scan per post to make things legal, but since I own about zero and a half comics and I only have a few random panels on my computer or hanging around my house that I could use to make a post legal, would I have to ALWAYS have a different one, or can I be forgiven for reposting one two times? Not in a row though, mind you. I just want to throw up a few of my little cheap webcomic creations and such for a peer review.

	Actually, so long as it's a 'comic' in some way it needs no legality because it is abiding by the rules. Casstoons, and even your comic, could be posted without a scan included. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heh! Aunt Selina... ~~So true.~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	merseybeatler 2009-04-12 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	That would be so cool. Seriously, who wouldn't want Catwoman as an aunt? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-04-12 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno, aside from always having to wonder whether you should automatically hand your birthday and Christmas presents in to the Police, to see if they really WEREe stolen, there'd be the whole feeling confused about the thoughts you were having about someone who was related to you, even if only by marriage.

	merseybeatler 2009-04-12 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, come on. Having a sexy cat burgler for an aunt is way cooler than Aunt Harriet or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-04-13 03:49 am UTC (link)
	And how do you think Aunt Harriet made a living all those years. If she had the family acrobatic skills I can imagine her making quite a career as the Silver Spider, jewel thief extraordinaire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	merseybeatler 2009-04-13 06:35 am UTC (link)
	Okay, you have a point. Either way it's better than old farm women with Christmas elf fetishes. O_o (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-04-13 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Robin may have dressed like a Christmas elf, but he was her NEPHEW so any fetishes would have been very, very wrong! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	merseybeatler 2009-04-13 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Technically I meant MY aunt, who's got every room in her house bedecked with red and green and little knobbly dolls grinning down at you from every surface. In truth I can't go in there without wondering whether it was the inspiration for some bizarre silver-age nightmare sequence of Robins multiplying out of control... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can only think of one person who wouldn't want to call her "Auntie Selina"... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	merseybeatler 2009-04-12 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	Heh. I pulled a few strings and had 'Name Your Poison' played at the school's Homecoming dance, along with the 'Time Warp'. Richard O'Brian is simply awesome. I love your Casstoons. "You didn't wash it first!" (Reply to this)

	Tim looks so happy and sweet with that shiny crowbar he found on the floor! (Reply to this)

	I miss the cut and pastyness ashez2ashes 2009-04-12 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	I know I'm in the minority here, but I kind of miss casstoon's old cut and paste style. I perfectly understand why you changed, but I had grown rather fond of it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: I miss the cut and pastyness espanolbot 2009-04-12 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I can see what you mean. But I hope that as I refine the art and later learn how to use GIMP to colour them in, people would like them just as much as the old ones. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love Casstoons. What comic is the last scan from? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	espanolbot 2009-04-13 12:38 pm UTC (link)
	An issue of Superboy, I can't remember which one though, sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	freddylloyd 2009-04-13 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	Superboy, series 2, #85. I spent months tracking it down after seeing a couple of loose scans, and I want to spare others that pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladymirth 2009-04-14 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks a lot! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	parsimonia 2009-04-12 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	I feel very enriched for having watched the video. Thank you. And hahaha, YES! Dick's whole "no, don't worry about him, I'll deal with him. We can't be having anyone other than me, Tim and Jason taking up more than a few panels in this comic!" thing was something that bugged me, too. (Reply to this)

	psychop_rex 2009-04-13 02:45 am UTC (link)
	I have to ask - what's the deal with all those ghost cavemen (or whatever they are) that Tim, Kon and Cass are fighting in that one scan? (Reply to this)

I'm rather surprised at just how awful the writing on BFTC is. It's also being quite sexist, with all the females getting either knocked out, ejecting girl's into Croc's mouth or just generally being throwaway. I think this is best summed up by the beginning of the Casstoon with Dick's hilariously obvious conclusion and Jason totally mocking for it. Also, the use of the cliche "This is something I have to do myself"? Classic.
