Poor Sluggo! What a terrible fate to be dragged to a “Chick Flick”!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Can’t wait to see who Fritzi is going to be.

I remember Zatanna! (lordy, I’m old)

And just who is Zatanna… Mandrake the Magician’s daughter? (“Zatanna gestures hypnotically…”)

I would have to agree with Sluggo; any movie that is sweet and emotional is for chicks. If something gets blown up, riddle with bullets or has a fast car chase then it a ‘dis guys movie’.

Zatanna’s father is Zatara the Magician, who appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938. They are descendants of Leonardo da Vinci, which is why they talk backwards to activate their magic (because Leonardo wrote right-to-left a lot of the time, you see).

Nancy makes a cute li’l Zatanna, BTW!

I like it that the strip is concentrating on DC heroes.

Going to a “chick flick” with your date can have its rewards…she will definitely appreciate you more.

No, Nancy, you’re not Zatanna. You’ll have to get Sluggo to do what you want like any other woman—trick him or nag him to death.

“Chicken Run” seemed like something Sluggo might like.
