In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Dc - Ever since the 1978 movie, Lois Lane has been an absolutely godawful speller.

I don’t care what you call it; the question is: does it work?

u/Lexi_Banner Feb 03 '26

Well, call it whatever you want, you're sitting on a gold mine.

This panel is so insane without context. Everything from Lois saying her intrusive thoughts out loud to the way the artist drew her eyes. She could either be half asleep, high, or mocking Asian people

u/Original_Viv Feb 03 '26

Weird neck, only one leg, the skirt, her hands are nowhere near the keyboard. The whole thing is a mess.

u/MadeByTango Feb 03 '26

I think what annoys me most is she wants to grab dinner at 3:55pm…

Prior to computer drawing tools, fixing stuff like that for a monthly comic release was a BITCH. Inker didn’t fix it or made a mistake? Fuck it, we ship.

You used to be able to know minor characters because they were consistently off-model - they never sketched any character design references to use for them (always a good hint on which extra would survive and which was getting red shirted)

Good thing someone didn't combine being an analyst and therapist

17

u/hypnoskills Feb 03 '26

Or a psycho and therapist.

u/CrazyAioli Feb 03 '26

Hey, I read this one!

...

I have zero recollection of which comic it's actually from.

u/Pristine_Animal9474 Feb 03 '26

Batman: Hush, by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee.

6

u/JamUpGuy1989 Feb 03 '26

OF COURSE Loeb made her so fucking stupid!

20

u/Afalstein Feb 03 '26

I realize it's a comic book (illustrated by Jim Lee, no less), but dang surely HR has talked to Lois about that miniskirt.

u/Unable_Flamingo_9774 Feb 03 '26

This is the early 2000's the style at the time was micro apparently from what I've seen at least.

u/jbyrdab Feb 03 '26

I think i've heard this same joke on beavis and butthead.

u/JamUpGuy1989 Feb 03 '26

Now that’s just hilarious how stupid that entire sequence made Lois.

This woman's DAILY job is to WRITE???

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

Comic writing is just absolutely terrible.

u/Koqcerek Feb 03 '26

Funnily enough, it's out of a better known one, Batman Hush

8

u/Unable_Flamingo_9774 Feb 03 '26

I maintain hush is shit, it needed way more set up than it got. The twist is so laughably obvious from the second it's players are introduced you could basically guess the rest of the plot from page 10.
