Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: Hm. You don't see too many super-ladies wearing garter belts. I'm not sure what I feel about that.

Its kind like my love of Super Sentai/Power Rangers shows were the female heroes always have skirts on their suits. Its very retro, almost antiquated now, but its fitting for the program as the characters have that very Silver/Bronze Age hero feel. Contrast with super women in comics now tend to either favor swimsuit type designs or a full bodysuit.

When I searched Google for garters I got lots of results for either vintage clothes or bridal wear, so I guess its something thats out of my wheelhouse.; June 21, 2013 at 8:19 AM
Kal said...: Silk Spectre, Black Canary, that's about it for garters.; June 21, 2013 at 11:29 AM

But..,yeah, you got me on the Batcave.

"Rats.."

Actually, I'm more of a Baxter Building guy than Batcaves, but you didn't know that.; June 22, 2013 at 4:52 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
