More Titan Dance
Inspired by the comments on Vic's and Dick's "dance numbers" from this post (btw, we forgot Kory, she's also dancing on the first left panel on page 20!) I have another one for you:

And just because he can...

	It's Dick's expression on the first one; "Damn it Bruce, I'm kick turning for you... ACKNOWLEDGE MY FUNKY MOVES!" (I do know the context and it always creeps me out JUST a little) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	...and what is the context? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was his first appearance in the Nightwing costume, and the debut of Jericho to boot. To prove his powers, Joey possessed Dick, and made him do the little routine we can see here. Someone taking control of a person like that and using it to make that person (someone you're asking to trust you) to look foolish always seemed a little "off" to me.

	LOL. But I think I would've preferred "I am Jericho and I will MAKE YOU TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-09-05 11:40 am UTC (link)
	Honey, I think we'd ALL have preferred that. That moment would only have been beaten if the now naked Nightwing had been shown rubbing baby oil all over as Jericho came out of the kitchen and wondered what Dick was doing, since he'd stopped possessing him four minutes earlier to go get a snack.

	But before Jericho left Dick's body (did I really just type that?) he managed to give Bruce a call who is now entering the room. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There needs to be more dance-related villainy in comics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Writers are probably intimidated, thinking nobody can top the Bat-tusi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is a concern, certainly. But surely the solution could only be MOAR DANCING! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There is just so much to love about this comic. Where is it from?

I love how Jimmy is the one to notice Dick being bracelet-hypnotized or whatever, and that Bruce is all "so?"

I really need to get my hands on more of these disco-era bat-stories. They are a thing of beauty.

Also, after reading this I went searching for something, and I can't remember how I got there, but I eventually arrived at this. XD

	The strip is from the 1970's "Greatest Superheroes" Newspapaer strip. I posted it on S_D 1.0, if we're having a dance themed week, I'll repost it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	freddylloyd 2009-09-04 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	I think the sheer creepiness of Jericho's powers was one reason it was so easy for DC's writers to make him go evil. Yes, Joey Wilson was the nicest, most sensitive guy in the world, even nobly overcoming early childhood trauma and turning it into art—but dang, he could TAKE OVER YOUR BODY! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-09-04 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	It worse when he was controlling the body, but not the voice (as happened when the person he took over was awake); you were unable to control your body but you were aware it was happening and could complain out loud. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's like when you play the game of trust and nobody catches you. Jerks. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Why am I the only dancing?" It really looks like someone left him on the dance floor mid-song. Oh, Dick. ♥ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jlroberson 2009-09-04 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Hm? They're all dancing, he's just in the foreground. They're all looking at his butt, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I was talking about the first panel, not the Tiny Titans page. (Although that is adorable as well.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-09-05 11:41 am UTC (link)
	Well, in that regard, if you had a chance to dance, or a chance to watch a spandex clad Dick Grayson boogie his perfect little tushie off, which would YOU choose? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	parsimonia 2009-09-05 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Top panel, preferably not possessed by Jericho, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Anyone ever purchase any comics directly from Art Baltazar's site? I snatched up a couple of Tiny Titans, which he autographed. He also tossed in a couple of sketches, along with a few of his other comics for no extra $$$. What a fella. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kingrockwell 2009-09-04 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	I've been meaning to get more Tiny Titans back-issues, so I'll definitely keep that in mind when I've got the scratch to spare! Aw yeah! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I noticed the random "Aw yeahs" scribbled on random things as well. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's awesome. What did he color the first one with? Looking at the sketches he sent me, they almost look like he used crayons! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-09-04 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	Believe it or not, they're paintings on little canvases. And I believe he works in pencils and crayons as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)
