Transcript:
Aunt Fritzi: Honey! I need a little MAS-QUERADE help for tomorrow's party! Nancy: You got it! Aunt Fritzi: Should I go as WONDER WOMAN? OR---Hang on! MARY MARVEL? Nancy: Doesn't matter! You're pretty, no matter what...And you adopted me and love ME no matter what! So, YOU are already MY super-HERO.

This would make my wife shed some tears, too.. it is a very nice sentiment! And a good lesson, to boot! One doesnât have to be a superhero or superhuman to be of value in a childâs eyesâŠ.
Rod Gonzalez over 11 years ago
Iâm surprised Fritzi isnât going as She-Hulk.
EstrelitaH over 11 years ago
Hopefully â Fritzi will have a date with Phil and we will get to see Nancy, S;uggo, Fritzi and Phil, all getting ready for a masquerade party.
solarrhino over 11 years ago
Ooh, go as Mary Marvel. Shazam!
blunebottle over 11 years ago
Wow! Highly dramatic and emotional strip today!She looks more like WW than Lynda Carter!Nice finish.
ReneTray over 11 years ago
True since it was the 1930âs. Of course she is Nancyâs aunt so that should help. If she had no family ties then it would have been unusual then.
Don Fleming over 11 years ago
Whatâs really important is the fact that no matter what costume Fritzi chooses, itâs going to reduce poor Phil to a blithering idiot. LOL!
Don Fleming over 11 years ago
You know, itâs too bad this is a family strip, cause I sure wouldnât mind seeing Fritzi dressed up as Vampirella for Halloween.

One vote for Wonder Woman here. Yowsa! <3
Savvo over 11 years ago
Definitely Wonder Woman!
davidf42 over 11 years ago
Another vote for Woman Wonder!
jrankin1959 over 11 years ago
Honestly? Iâve never even heard of Mary MarvelâŠ
Don Fleming over 11 years ago
Since Guy seems to like the DC heroines, might I suggest an often overlooked DC babe that Fritzi might be perfect forâŠZatanna (Fritzi in fishnetsâŠyummm!).
WSR over 11 years ago
Really itâs an either or situation. But how about Fritzi as Catwoman? One thingâs certainâpoor Philâs gonna be a nervous wreck whatever she wears!!
Don Fleming over 11 years ago
@TXPAScotMary Marvel is one of those characters that DC acquired from Fawcett Comics way back when & didnât do much with until after 1985 (post-Crisis of Infinite Earths). Associated characters are Captain Marvel (the original created by Fawcett back in 1942, not the Marvel comics one who showed up years later) & Captain Marvel Jr.Hope that helps.

AndâŠadded to my collection.

Phil should go as Superman (with a dark wig) and Fritzi as Lois Lane.
PurpleFalcon over 11 years ago
Iâm just amazed that Guy remembers Mary Marvelâs costume, and the really wide lightning bolt. Problem with Mary is that only old guys like me remember her and the other two Marvels.
People remember Wonder Woman, because she didnât have to contend with a pinhead judge, who said that any character that could fly was a rip off of Superman. DC Comics won, and the Marvel family sadly slipped into comic book oblivion.
ghek over 11 years ago
Iâd like to see her as Lady Godiva

Bad report card coming?
Sopranos over 11 years ago
What a terrific strip as usual, Guy. Well done!
WLG12037 over 11 years ago
WONDER WOMAN!!!!
Potrzebie over 11 years ago
She has been Wonder woman before, plus, I expect her to match Philâs costume. Mary Marvel would be better. I wish She and Phil would go as Dr. Frankenstein and Frankenteinâs Monsterâs bride.
KAKKAROT1701 over 11 years ago
Definitely as Wonder Woman! (I always saw the resemblance!) She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside! Phil better marry her before I do!( am I crushing on a fictional character? Yes, yes I am!)
McGehee over 11 years ago
To heck with Mary Marvel â POWER GIRL!
jmcx4 over 11 years ago
I was thinking âElvira, Mistress of the Darkâ.
ColonelClaus over 11 years ago
Go as? Fritzi IS Wonder Woman. And yes when the strip began it would not have been odd for a single aunt to âadoptâ her siblingâs child.
sundogusa over 11 years ago
Wonder Women for my vote!
Willow Mt Lyon over 11 years ago
That is precious.
Trainman over 11 years ago
Wonder Woman all the way! Guy, please show several frames with her from all angles!
karanne over 11 years ago
Phil as a âpartialâ Superman (Clarkâs shirt undone showing the blue top with the red âSâ), Fritzi as WW, Nancy as Batgirl and Sluggo as Batman.
brklnbern over 11 years ago
How about going as Miss America.
jmcx4 over 11 years ago
Itâs overwhelming how easily we are overwhelmed..
ricrocs over 11 years ago
Spank me Wonder Woman!

DC did not actually beat Fawcett in the lawsuit; Fawcett gave up. Comics sales were down across the board, and Fawcett decided to leave the business and abandon the fight. When DC decided to bring the characters back years later, they had to officially buy them from Fawcett, although they were fairly cheap, since Fawcett didnât really want them anymore, and the terms of the lawsuit settlement meant that no third party could get in. (However, trademark law is different from copyright law, and Marvel Comics had established a lock on the word âMarvelâ as a title, which is why all of DCâs books starring Captain Marvel have been named with some variation on âShazam!â.)
As to the costumes, Fritzi is much more the Wonder Woman type; sheâs too tall for Mary Marvel.
Maybe next year she can go as Madame Triple-X; now that weâve had Stanley, it seems only fair to give Carl Barks an innings too.
ColonelClaus over 11 years ago
Because a Black headed woman can make a freight train jump its track.
ColonelClaus over 11 years ago
I reckon you think iâm easily impressed⊠I actually liked Oona Goosepimple. I figure we will see more of her tomorrow.
ChrisV over 11 years ago
Loving the 2 middle pics of Fritzi but the end? How schmaltzy can you get?
richardzimdars over 11 years ago
I vote for Mary Marvel. Itâs a refreshing change of pace from the Wonder Woman get-up. I like the hair styled that way as well. Guy, you should really consider selling prints of Fritzi in the MM costume.
ColonelClaus over 11 years ago
So I donât get the point of your original statement. The Oona arc began on 10-14. I see only four 4-panel strips.
MJKesquire over 11 years ago
Mary Marvel is a GIRL!
Wonder Woman is a WOMAN!!!!!
DRMFeint almost 6 years ago
Howâd she change so fast?
MacBoi over 2 years ago
Oh god. This is⊠not a good one! Thank goodness Olivia is here to NOT make strips like this.
