Can I be the sexy, brainy, wisecracking secretary of the mayor or the police chief? Like Miss Bellum on “The Power Puff Girls”, only with a face? ---

Can I be in it? Please? I’ll get naked too! 😉 ---

How cool!! Those drawings are awesome. Can I be in too? Pleeeeease. I can be an informant for the good guys. Kind of like a spy. I’ll find out top secret info from the bad guys and then relay it to Coldy, Techie, Satan, and Uncle Beer. Dress me however you want… scantily dressed or fully clothed, it doesn’t matter. ---

Gee, SPOOFE, great idea. Your drawing are really great. It occurs to me that you have a problem, though. Here you have a bevy of beautiful women, chiming in and volunteering to be naked, but you don’t have enough men! It’ll really cut into my schedule, but let me duck into this phone booth and emerge as… **WEIRDDAVE**!!! Defender of the innocent! Bane of ignorance! and Protector of naked SDMB women! TA-DAH! Now, ladies, if I am to properly protect you, I must hide you in my SECRET LAIR. If you would please follow me… ::Weirddave wonders off, followed by a group of the most stunning naked women on Earth…His voice floats back from offstage…" I’ll protect the woman- you guys take care of Warlord Serlin. Use the Weirdsignal if you need help, but it may take me a while…" 😉 ---

I’ll be Arkon! The semi-honorable villain who hates the Warlord Serlin as much as the heroes do. I’ll share the heroes’s quest to fight ignorance, while planning to build my own evil empire. I have Darth Maul’s fashion sense and always wear masks. I usually fight with a Wakazashi, but pull out my lightsaber in a pinch. ---

I love the sketches, especially TechChick (cuteness has a strong influence on me). Satan looks cool, too–the no-pupils look really works. Hmmm…should I be the sinister technodemon from the Evil Villains Organization, or Captain Balance of the SDMB Fighting 19th Special Forces (the blowgun says “pffft!”), or the hedge-wizard lurking in his lair, waiting to dispense potions, prophecy, or arcane lore as required? I think I’d like to go with the hedge-wizard this time (warning: potions may^H^H^H _will_ contain alcohol). Just a gleam of eyes and a large, dark form silhouetted against a fire… \ Eh, do as you will–as long as I’m fighting ignorance somehow, I’ll be satisfied. ---

If I may say so, a brain in a jar always makes a good prop in a comic book. ---

Oooh, count me in. Somebody needs a mascot, eh? Even a smart-alec one that lives in the science library. (Normally reddish-feathered, but finding more and more gray ones.) ---

I’d ask to be included, as long as you remember that I’m a nerd in the Peter Parker sense, not the Urkel sense. ---

Nice try, Balance, but my lair is shielded against teleport. You can ask Captain SPOOFE how that works, he’s got it all figured out for Star Destroyers. Instead of getting the women, I redirected your teleport and sent you a hoard of glibbering baboons! ---

‘glibbering’? Did I miss an installment of the Oxford Dictionary? ---

gib·ber (jbr) v. intr. gib·bered, gib·ber·ing, gib·bers. To prattle and chatter unintelligibly I spelled it wrong ---

Actually, I like ‘glibbering’ - good word: kind of an appropriate descriptive for inept henchmen - _glibbering idiots_. ‘Blithering’ is over-used.
