It's Like Green Hulk And Red Hulk

An evil alternate Chris hoarding a collection of alternate Boardies for some nefarious purpose! Intense! Who knows? It may even end up becoming in tents.

I did not initially notice it, but in Monday's comic Chris' snoozing sound melds together with the sound of the other Chris popping into his universe. That's some pretty neato onomatopeia right there. And let me tell you something else- I very nearly spelled "onomatopeia" correctly on the first try. Making observations about onomatopeia and spelling onomatopeia seem to be two things that I'm only capable of doing on a second viewing.

All Eyes On Hedrick

Unless this is a One-Shot Week, it's possible that we're about to get a clearer understanding about the difference between timelines and universes as they pertain to Superosity. This would be good, as I've had some trouble getting the whole thing straight in my head and apparently it's too complicated for Baby Bush to understand.

With Valentine's Day coming up so close to a possible alternate universe line, it may be possible that we're also going to see shenanigans akin to those told between the classic storylines Pesh Me Twice, Shame On Me and Still The One True Love. Oh, all this speculation makes my innards go tingly.

As we wait for events to unfold, let us consider the two recent consecutive comics running from here to here. It is an odd moment. The storyline disappears without warning and in lieu of a punchline we see Hedrick craving a corn dog. The next day, we simply observe Hedrick consuming his corn dog with obvious satisfaction and then indicating that it is this corn dog which has rounded out this day and committed it to that hall reserved for Hedrick's Great Adventures.

It is made more eerie when you realise that he closes his eyes at the first bite, and is thus being observed by the green guy. You know the one. The one who stares at him when he closes his eyes.

All the other characters simply fade away and for one tender moment of reflection the world is privately shared by us, Hedrick, and an invisible green guy.

This Year Revisited

Welcome back. I will start my first proper post for the year by reviewing the now-complete 2008 season of Superosity. It was simply Superosity,with everything that being Superosity entails. That's all that needs to be said about that. Now let us have a closer look at other things.

Stealing From O.J is a classic Superosity adventure. Not only is it the third time travel story, but it was the first time we got to see Chris enacting his pre-Cool Ass money acquisition procedure. So seeing the Superosity timeline catch up with the alternate timeline of the Stealing From O.J story is quite an experience for the hardcore Superosity fan.

Incidentally, being a hardcore Superosity fan is a prerequisite for being a human of worth. When we finally have to evacuate the planet and there aren't enough ships for everybody, the first point in the screening process will be to separate the hardcore Superosity fans from everybody else. Those in the "everybody else" group will be immediately incinerated to make the selection easier. Maybe one person from the group will be salvaged so that he or she can be kept in a zoo to help us recall the dark past when there was such a thing as a human who was not a hardcore Superosity fan. We must always remember our evils so that we do not repeat them.

But that's in the shining days of our future. Today we must consider the days of Superosity past, when Boardy's practice of vaporising alternate personas was quite an ethical error, as the reality was that the alternate timelines continued in alternate universes. He is probably very ashamed of it, and has indeed admitted that his previous limitation of knowledge in this field was his biggest weakness. But by the year 2009 he has gained a better understanding of alternate universes and is able to travel between them. And, it seems, this alternate Boardy had gained the same capacity by this time as well. He only pretended to vaporise himself! Why did he pretend to vaporise himself? So he could abandon Kato and marry alternate Arcadia!

If alternate Boardy had lust or love for alternate Arcadia, could it be that our Boardy has secret lust or love for our Arcadia? It has now become a startling possibility.

Dead But Still Breathing

It may look bad that I am yet to write any posts this year, but I have not forgotten about this blog and have not fallen out of love with Superosity. It simply takes a lot of effort to write what I want to write, and oftentimes I try but get distracted by reading Superosity.

While you wait, check out some extreme skateboarding.

All The May'r's Look-Alike Kid

Alan's newfound brother has a passing resemblance to the mysterious Mr. Mayor. Are hairstyles hereditary? If not, they should be. Alan could be revealed as having mayoral blood, the next in line for the position of Super City Mayor!

Wistful speculation aside, I have made a disturbing observation. In response to my query about Bushes, the great zgeycp pointed me in the direction of the superfluous Bush's death. Further exploration then revealed to me this little guide. It clearly states that the dead Bush was Hobo Bush. It's Baseball Bush who is supposed to be dead. Yet the most recent Bush storyline names the living Bush as Hobo Bush, and demonstrates that he has memories of Hobo Bush's first meeting with Chris. Is this a continuity error, or is there an extra stage in the storyline that I am unaware of? I must take the long trek through the archives to find out.

No, surely it isn't a continuity error. If there's no Hobo Bush resurrection storyline already in place, this must be intended as the seed for a future plot. Surely. Superosity is flawless.

Hatto Vs. Hatto

In the midst of this unsettling altercation between slave and master, it is worth remembering why Chris and Baby Bush have gotten along so well in the past. They are in many ways kindred spirits. Or at least they were. Back when Bush used to be cool.

Is the current Bush the ex-basball player from the other dimension, or is he back to being the original one? I remember that the original Bush returned and there were two Bushes for a little while, but don't recall how that plot resolved. As entertaining as Superosity is, sifting through its archives for particular moments can be a difficult process.

There are broader unrelated themes that I would like to address but, as I said, the archives are difficult to penetrate. Perhaps in the future.

Deciding Not To Strike Twice

Today we see that American Lightning is all grown up. "That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend/ Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new," wrote John Donne before that unfortunate incident of ending up as some ancient dude from bygone times, and I think this quite aptly sums up American Lightning's situation. He has endured many hardships, and the process has matured him.

Does this mean he no longer wants to blow up illegal immigrants? Will he start to take better care of his baby? We can only hope.
