Hee hee.
A parody in Miller style and a parody in Calvin and Hobbes style of the life of Superman's daughter, as imagined by Mxy. (Four pages from Adventures of Superman 638, for those who keep track.)

Dinah would be hot if she actually had a chin, don't you think?

If Lobo braiding Wonder Woman's hair isn't the best thing you've seen all day, then I want to live your life.

	Lol, I'd been meaning to post that second page for ages, if only for the hair braiding. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	OMG, the hair-braiding rocks! There should be a mini-series. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Artwise, the Sin City-style strip actually reminds me more of Calvin and Hobbes' noir parodies, like it's riffing on Calvin and Hobbes riffing on Sin City. These both are delightful, though! (Reply to this)

	These stories use Mxy the best way, as a cross between Yoda (from Star Wars) and Q (from Star Trek). (Reply to this)

	You're going to nertz even harder, Mxy, when you notice the puppy's gone missing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That Calvin and Hobbes parody is gold. Also, the design on Wonder Woman's underwear in that last panel is a vast improvement on the current design. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the design on Wonder Woman's underwear in that last panel is a vast improvement on the current design That's the design Wonder Woman has had for every WW issue from the last three years barring three or so guest artist issues. So either you only read (Benes) JLA or you don't buy a lot of comic, am I right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh these are golden! Lobo braiding Diana's hair! Ha! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's what I call quality! Plus, it's just waiting to be iconned... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Calvin and Hobbes parody is the funniest thing I've read all week. Thank you for posting it. (Reply to this)

	Wait, when did Lois and Clark have a baby? Whut? That C&H parody is the most adorable thing I've seen since Batman and Sons. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This was during Rucka's Adventures of Superman run, where, if I remember right, Mxy uses his powers to show them what might happen if they had a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ninety days pass fast, three sets of NINETY, they go fast, too. Two-hundred and SEVENTY days, NINE months, THREE trimesters." He's kind of channeling Lex in the Cracktionary, no? And is it supposed to be Batman narrating the Miller parody? Can we all take a moment and revel in the fact that his favourite colour is purple? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kingrockwell 2009-09-03 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	I'd put my money on Mxy narrating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	parsimonia 2009-09-03 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, that would make more sense, I suppose. It just seemed to have a touch of ASBAR's Batman's bitterness toward Superman. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	These are fun. "Lethal little Dinah." I think Mxy's got a crush. I love that Lois is a working mom. And isn't that Comet? (Reply to this)

	The C&H is almost at Batman and Sons level of awesomely cute. (Reply to this)

	queenrikki 2009-09-03 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I loved this issue, especially the C&H parody (probably my favourite comic strip ever). And Lobo braiding Wonder Woman's hair is quite possibly the best thing ever. Never did care for the Miller style part of the issue (maybe because I don't really care for Miller...seems likely). (Reply to this)

	Lobo braiding WW's hair is the best thing I've seen all week. Thanks for that. (Reply to this)

	The last panel of the first one has the best sound effect ever. (Reply to this)

	psychop_rex 2009-09-05 07:12 am UTC (link)
	I have to say, the 'Sin City' art style actually works pretty damn well with the JLA. Probably because we're dealing with a bunch of people who have very distinctive silhouettes. And yes, the 'Calvin and Hobbes' pastiche is terrific. I miss Calvin and Hobbes... (Reply to this)
