Pop Culture, Yo.
Today's steeped in pop culture, something wholly unplanned. I went with it, though. I went with it so hard. Mayhem is the Man-Fish, everyone.

I'm glad they decided to at least touch on Tony Stark's alcoholism, as it's a pretty important part of the character. I believe there was quite a long period when he was rarely seen completely sober, which came to a head in the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline. Of course, since that storyline he's been clean, but it makes sense that he'd keep a bottle in his desk drawer, if only because it allows him to overcome it when he feels like he needs a confidence boost.

If the "ack" is a reference to the mid-nineties film version of "Mars Attacks!" then I have no choice but to show this strip and its creator a small amount of respect. However, if it's just a random sound effect, then I have to do no such thing.

I'm rather surprised they went with the Lon Chaney version of the "Phantom of the Opera" instead of the more well-known dashing caped figure in a half-mask. I'm also rather put off by the fact that he's drawn in such an odd way compared to the other two characters, and colored differently. If that was done so people would know who he is... well, I wonder how well the ploy succeeded.

I love the book Demon in a Bottle. I think it was the first time that an american heroe have a flaw that society strongly disapproves.
I will go deep in your blog to read more posts, so if you don't mind, I'm gonna link you on my blog!

I'm going to assume you're talking about the duck in the posse. He's just one in a long line of ducks who have been unfairly looked down upon just for being ducks. By long line, I mean like three, and the only ones I can think of are Howard the Duck, Count Duckula, and (urgh) Mallard Fillmore.
In any case, look for my new book about a posse duck. It will be duck-based fiction the likes of which the world has never seen.
