So easily amused

We are, unfortunately, better than halfway through Geoff Johns' last storyline in FLASH. *pauses for respectful silence* So I decided that this might be a good time to go back and reread his run as a whole, and see what it looks like in retrospect. Comments may be forthcoming as I get farther in; I've barely gotten started and I can already tell I'm going to want to bitch about Frances Kane (of all people). But presently I just want to share the way my eyes went wide when I saw this panel.

The speaker is Weather Wizard, and he doesn't mean it that way, I know he doesn't mean it that way, but lord, of all the comparisons to draw... And it reminded me that I'd found this pretty entertaining at the time (no, never mind the context, it's much better without). So when I encountered this I just couldn't stop laughing. Let's hear it for significant pauses.

This might even be plausible, as they're currently being played; it's certainly one way for Cold to try and keep his unreliable man in line, and I can see how it would be helpful for McCulloch's particular...issues. Although looking at these earlier issues, I have the sinking feeling that Geoff has been busily retconning his own take on McCulloch, never mind everyone else's. Ooops. Still, like the image.
