The Beaten Generation

In this excerpt from "Fly Man" #31 (Archie Comics, May 1965) the wily Fly Man's plan to defeat the dastardly Spider somehow involves letting the villain knock the crap out of him for two whole pages.

"I want the pleasure of massaging you first... with my bare fists!"

I love your delivery on that. Just enough homoerotic subtext to keep things interesting.

The Spider is a master of shtick combat.

And this is why I never walk through Clown Town to catch the bus.

Another great reading, though I have to question the "bare fists" comment. D'ya think the other option was to keep the clown gloves on?

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your dramatic readings; they're like little radio plays! I look forward to the day that you compile them and release them as a zip file of mp3s for your millions of fans, when I will FINALLY be able to listen to "The Life Blockade Boy Leads" on my iPod!

Anonymous: And yet the cabs won't stop for you in Clown Town, either. And just try getting an ambulance! (Also: clown glove massage? *shudder*)

Bill S.: I barely know how all this works, but I'll see what I can do!

But wait, you're from the future... Oh, of course, our ancient technologies and all that. Gotcha.
