Continuing with my 'augh weddings WHY??' marathon, here are some scans from Black Canary Wedding Planer, perhaps the weakest of the Wedding tie ins (in part because the art is horrific, but that is one of the reasons this book makes me laugh!)
So, turns out Dinah was busy crimefighting and didn't have time to plan much of her wedding. Or somesuch, I don't know, it's very silly and it's obviously played for laughs. I like that Dinah was pretty laid back about the whole wedding but it's Ollie that's a total PAIN IN THE ASS about it. As I said, my brother is being a groomzilla so I laughed here.
And the art, oh, the art.
So, first, they need a place for the reception. I am pretty sure Ollie should be pretty much on the same level as Bruce in the area of string-pulling-for-social-events, given that he's also a billionaire playboy? But it made me smile. Batman, wedding facilitator!
Bab's snark about the tacky reception place CRACKED ME UP. Maid Marian and Robin Hood wedding! XD
On that note, I have been roped into decorating one of the wedding salons. I think this is somehow not right.
....???????????
You would NOT be the envy of Aphrodite in that strapless trumpet style gown with pink lace V waist and god, is that a PINK BOW?? IS THAT A PINK BOW FOR REAL??
Dinah is not convinced this is a good look for her (I am not convinced this is a good look for anyone, but that's beyond the point) so they fight crime for a while! Later, though, she and Mari and Babs and Diana are back shopping, this time? LINGERIE.
...okay, Diana's looks implausible? I.. I don't know. Would it have killed the artist to actually LOOK at Victoria Secret or anything of the like? This is the place where bows were allowed, Artist. This, not the wedding gown.
Anyway, it doesn't matter because Dinah picks the fugliest piece of lingerie ever.
.....whut??? is this a marijuana themed piece? That green lace.. crown.. thing, just on the tip of her panties. That's. And. The garters. And her bra pattern looks like tentacles. HOW SEXY.
Anyway, the good news is that the art is not consistent from book to book so this piece of lingerie changes through the books (oh, yeah. Lots of Dinah in lingerie in these books! but also lots of semi naked (and naked) Ollie. Equal opportunity nakedness, I guess!)
HEY KIDS.
COMICS.
