I take it this Is going to be a revisit of the NHLâs experience of hiring Stan Lee to create superheroes based on each team a few years ago. I know there probably arenât that many hockey fans following this strip, but either way, if you havenât heard about it, that tells you how well it went!
Well, I suppose we could play along and come up with our own for the teams. At least Mr. Hinds knew enough to have Stan the Man exclaim âExcelsior!â (âNuff said). Namor (the Sub-Mariner) for Seattleâs too obvious but hey, itâs a start.
If people really understood what this strip, in general, was saying about American society, Bill Hinds would be hanging by his thumbs in a cell in Gitmo.
Itâs not realistic to assume the situation would go away because of âno advantage.â Athletes always look for an edge, so the development or promise of bigger and better PEDs would result in an arms (and legs) race.
That being said, I do expect that sometime in the next ten years, it will become legal for professional athletes to use PEDs, but not kids. (Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.)
You have to remember that steroids are a violation of federal law, unless officially (and legally!) prescribed, so it never was a matter of âjustâ cheating, but of committing crimes. All that being said, Iâm looking forward to this arc! Mr. Hinds is certainly keeping up the quality of this strip, and Iâm sure that his late partner would approve.

Here in Buffalo we looked forward to the creation of âRevisionist Manâ to help us deal with ugly memories.

I donât think Iâll ever forget the excitement and drama that summer of the home run derby between McGuire and SotaâŠ
