Po-Faced Absurdity of DC Comics, Part 2: Son of Po-Face

This is Marvel and not DC, but...

Only in comics can you have someone say, "Miss America! Did you see any signs yet of that NAZI VAMPIRE?".

This is probably my all-time favourite example of comic book absurdity:

Can you imagine... red turning green?! The horror!!!

I have to be honest with you and say if that were to really happen, I would be pretty freaked out.

I'm cool with nazi vampires though, and with Miss America being charged with the responsibility for dealing with them.

Well yeah, if red turned green, I'm sure people would be freaked out for a while, but they'd probably get used to it pretty soon. It's not like the change would destroy the fabric of our society or anything.

replacing those traffic lights will be a bitch. would fuck up traffic good & proper. actually now you got me curious what other horrifying consequences are in the inside of that comic.

Would it really mess up traffic? If the colours are switched over, it wouldn't make any difference- the sequence would just change from top to bottom to vice versa. (that's in the UK, I don't know how it would work in the US)

Red turns green but green doesn't turn red. So we're down a colour.

Is that Tales of the Unexpected available in a B&W reprint, I wonder. "The Day White Turned to White!"

Red turns green but green doesn't turn red. So we're down a colour.

There's so many of those buggers anyway, so who cares? We could just replace red with, say, indigo. It's not like it had much use before.

I kinda want to know the context to this, but on the other hand it's perfect as it is.

Oh yes.

Context, according to Livejournal, is "It's from a series of 'imaginary stories' in which Kal-El's rocket was found by Thomas and Martha Wayne. They adopted him, named him Bruce and he grew up to be a mild-mannered librarian who works with and romances Barbara Gordon."
