Aquaman on The Comics Page

sg
sg
These are two comic strips featuring Aquaman in different ways--at top, the 3/11/11 edition of Rhymes With Orange, and at bottom the June 5, 2009 edition of Medium Large.

The Orange strip (sent by F.O.A.M.er Mac Schafer) is less a joke than an accurate observation about kids. The second strip, by its use of Robin but not Batman, makes me think its the Dark Knight Detective that Superman has killed, and is now desperate to cover up. But maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Why is Superman worried about the SVU specifically?

Oh, I see... Gross.

Are these Aquaman's first gag-strip appearances ever where he isn't the subject (if not also the butt of) the joke? He's here because he's famous and not because there's a joke on his powers to be made. Very cool!

Eddie--I didn't even catch that. Yeesh!

David--Might be. I went through the now-defunct Aqua-Mail feature, which featured other comic strips with the Sea King, and he's always the subject (and usually butt of) the joke. So the ML one might be the first time he's just there as a "featured player." :)

Brent--Isn't SVU specifically sex crimes?
