The Best and Worst of The Spirit: Ellen Dolan

[seriousfic]

Wait, did she... did she just order up a boy-hooker? Right in front of her boyfriend?

I see some reorganization is due on account of Ellen fucking Dolan.

I don't know whether that's crass or cool, but it sure is brassy for 1944.

Being a woman was more fun in the golden than in the silver age.

LOL, classic.

Hey there,

Hope you don't mind, I friended you based on your incredibly insightful and funny commentary on moviebuffs. And when I saw you're also a comic book guy, I figure I'd better keep an eye on what you were writing.

Linda Park has always been one of my favorite super hero girlfriends. I suppose she gets bonus points because she wasn't around back in the golden age to have those "Oh no! I'm so helpless and useless because I'm a woman" moments. Lois has had her share of them.

Surely it's better to call for boy-hookers to your boyfriends face rather than going behind his back...

Does Comics!Felicia Hardy not get a place in the bad girlfriend list for her reaction to Peter's dramatic unmasking? 'Omg that's what your face looks like? Blegh! Put the mask back on!'

This is so awesome!

I don't think it was actually uncommon to have more than one boyfriend at the time back then - I remember my Grandmother (and several others of her age group) actually had more than one boyfriend, if anything (she told me) it was looked *down* upon if you didn't!
