We Are Incredibly Silly

Comic fans, I mean. Just think about it. We're as silly as you can get. Take the following phrase:

"Somebody's trying to steal the Shaggy Man!"

How would a normal person react to that? Curiosity? Bemusment? Confusion? Probably a combination of the three. But me? When I hear the phrase

"Somebody's trying to steal the Shaggy Man!"

I immediately think "Holy crap!"

"Somebody's trying to steal the Shaggy Man!"

To my comic addled brain the phrase

"Somebody's trying to steal the Shaggy Man!"

carries a little more weight than it does for normal people.

Thank God I'm not a normal person.

While looking through my DC Encylopedia my brother felt the need to make fun of the Shaggy Man.

I didn't bother to try to correct him. My brother's a Marvel guy, so what does he know? He'll forever be deprived of DC's silver age goodness.

Yep. If you know what you're talking about, you know that you should fear the Shaggy Man.
