Aquaman in The Onion

sg
F.O.A.M.er Brian Heiler caught this cameo by Aquaman (and other DC stars) as they mock their Marvel counterparts in this purposely cliched editorial cartoon in the April 5 edition of The Onion. Oh, snap!

Thanks Brian!

Hmm...does the author not know DC has been a division Daffy Duck inc for decades, or is this an ironic Onion gag where that's supposed to be the joke?

David--Yeah, its a meta joke, where the writer/artist of the cartoon is making fun of editorial cartoonists who think they're edgy by using a really lame, faux-edgy joke.

So, what you are saying is that the panel is just made up of layer after layer of irony?

Not sure whether to laugh or rub my chin contemplatively...

True - but Termite Terrace always had more grit than the House of Mouse!
