Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 30, 2016

there is an unfortunate military and anti-science overtone in many super-hero comics.

.

you might notice the Good Guy is often “Captain {something}.” And the Bad Guy is often “Doctor {something}.”

Why can’t the Good Guy by Doctor {something} for a change?

… and, no, “Doctor Strange” doesn’t count …

HO, HO, HO!

He has deployed his tendrils of binding! If you do not move in the next several weeks, you will be mildly inconvenienced.

Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic, is a scientist.

Bruce Banner is a scientist.

Barry Allen, AKA The Flash, is a scientist, as is Jay Garrick.

On the X-Men, you have Beast, AKA Dr. Hank McCoy.

Probably not the best example from comics, but in the Girl Genius comic, Agatha Heterodyne is a mad scientist/inventor who is the hero of the comic.

There’s quite a few good guy doctors out there, they just don’t announce it in their code names.

That’s a Moby Dick character, isn’t it? :)

Then there’s Golden Age hero Dr. Midnight.

Someone’s got to say it. Take away the visual and what comes to your mind if a kid calls you “Captain Pea Pod”?

Notice Rose is holding a pea… and he’s looking down…

Colorist goof in fifth panel. Rose’s left glove goes from purple to red and back again.

Well, pooh. I was hoping they fought the battle against weeds and would swing by my house.

Good guys: Doctor Fate, Dr. Mid-nite, Doctor Strange (yes, it counts), Doctor Light (female version)

Bad Guys: Doctor Doom, Doctor Light (male version), Doctor Psycho, Doctor Octopus

Good Guys: Captain Marvel (many versions), Captain America, Captain Canuck

Bad Guys: Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Captain Stingaree, Captain Kraken

Captain of the Pequod.

Captain Peapod!! I love it!

Great legs, Rose… and other… stuff.

Captain Pee Pot?

Wow, Jimbo – what a fragile ego you have. If I were Rose I would have gotten tired of propping you up a long time ago. Get over yourself. You are the sidekick. Embrace it and your life will be happier, you big weenie!

Rose is in Tip-Top shape. She also practices Yoga as well.

Better then Sergeant Broccoli…

Dr. Acula

Rose looks hot in her miniskirt and yellow hose.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I think Aunt Betty secretly hates Jimbo.
