I’m dropping all types of tiny breadcrumbs in these new comics. I’ll recap them at the right times, so take notes class, there may be a quiz.
NEW DESKTOP! Classic Teen Titans in honor of silly DC Comics rebooting their entire catalog (or so it seems). I’ve not read Teen Titans since the early 70s when they went all politically correct and they started fighting teen issues instead of bad guys. And don’t even get me started on the newest bunch with Cyborg, Starfire and the rest. Yuk. Give me the original gang any day. Anyway, click on the sample image to go to the post where you can download one of ten different resolutions. Yeah, ten! I’m that cool.
Deep Purple’s “Fireball” album is their best in my opinion. Great production and a solid set of tunes. And today’s cut “Strange Kind Of Woman” defines Lorraine (in title only). Enjoy!

Bud may be past 50 and may have sunk a bit in the middle, but I have to say he looks pretty darned good 🙂
And they ALL look good in that desktop image. Especially Speedy the Stoner 😛
Hey… for being over 50 and a bit sunk in the middle, I think I’ve held up pretty well too! My hair isn’t gray (just a touch) and I still HAVE my hair. So, all in all, the old cartoonist is hanging in there! So, I’m good model for Bud as well.
🙂
Well, Bud *is* meant to be you…so does that mean you have a ‘Lorraine’ you’re thinking of Doing the Wild Thing with? Heh.
I’m just trying to get my head around Robin having a bigger chest than Troubles. Gotta say, though, she looks better in the costume than Dick Grayson ever dreamed.
Hmmm… I don’t think I drew them larger then Lorraine’s, but you’re not use to seeing her sticking her chest out like that. Her pose is a pretty typical Batman/Robin “action” pose and I think that is leading you to think her boobs are bigger. Who knows, maybe I did draw them bigger. Look good to me…
😛
Oh yes, Fireball! Have to agree with you on that, although of course Made In Japan is my favourite, Jon Lord rocking the Hammond and ring modulator in a storm of keyboard solos to which we poor mortals can only aspire. But then I like long songs, especially stretching singles into like 20 minutes or so…
Now, Made In Japan is a great live album, but I have never been a big fan of live albums. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part I am not into them. Made In Japan is one of those exceptions. Ian Gillan could scream like no one else.

HAHAHHAA The boobs on robin! I think the stoner kid flash really made me choke on my coffee though. I have ALWAYS envisioned all the flashes as being stoner types. I don’t know why.
Robin with boobs… not too far of a stretch. I think one of the many incarnations of Robin was in fact a girl. I’m not that big of a Batman fan to remember, but I’m fairly sure that’s true.
I mean, if you’re able to run around the world in no time flat, then you’re gonna wanna mellow out and what better way? Besides that, the TV Flash show always had him eating a ton of food (to feed his metabolism… yeah, right) so it’s a natural fit. 🙂
Yes, there were arguably two female Robins. The first in publication order was Carrie Kelly, in the non-canon future story The Dark Knight Returns (not to be confused with the later movie but a very cool miniseries). The second was Stephanie Brown, AKA Spoiler, who took up the mantle of Robin for something like a week while Tim Drake was unavailable; it didn’t last, and I think she’s dead at the moment anyway.
Seems Batman has a problem keeping his Robins alive. Maybe they should have the armored suits… 🙂
Thanks for the links! I was pretty sure I’d seen a female Robin (and was hoping I had or it would have been a weird thought to have).
😛
Thanks for the Music Byron. I love it. I got to see deep purple out in Pennsylvania …Wow I guess it’s been 8 or 9 years ago now. The scorpions opened followed by Dio and then Deep Purple. If I remember correctly. It was one Hell of a Show. Wish I could go back there now.
Spookily, I’d just downloaded the MP3 versions of Made in Japan (£2.97 on Amazon UK – OK so I’m a cheapskate) when I saw this. Late 60’s Teen Titans for me too so I won’t be going for the reboot. Justice League…hmm, I might give them another go…
I figured Lorraine was up to something like that, Byron! Great song for the occasion, too. “Strange Kind of Woman”: one of my faves from Fireball – one of their underappreciated lps imo (Machine Head gets all the pub from that era). I saw ‘Purple 1st time on the MH tour in 72-73, with Buddy Miles of all people opening. I remember the concert being VERY loud, me getting pretty wasted, & the crowd chanting “Smoke on the Water” before every song. I’m pretty sure they played “Strange…Woman”, but man was that a lot of brain cells ago!
