Which image do you prefer?


The image on the right is a classic wartime painting by the master of Americana, Norman Rockwell. The image on the left is a JSA cover by Carlos Pacheco that features Power Girl's breasts. You make the call.

Much thanks to reader Xakyrie for bringing this to my attention.

Do you even have to ask? Wonder Twin Powers Activate!!

BTW- Is it just me, or does the old guy in the Rockwell painting look like Bela Lugosi?

it's just you

Now what I'm wondering is if the Turkey that power girl is holding is actually smaller than the other one, or if it's just seems smaller because of her proportionally larger "lunghammers"...

These are the things I wonder at night.

Is it just me, or do people squint a lot in Pacheco comics?

If Mom had a peek-a-boo apron, I would vote for the Rockwell, but Pacheo wins this round.

Wait until you see the "infinite Pacheo" self-portrait with the leather chaps. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING OF AMERICANA.

Power-Girls for the win.

Tycho, he DOES look like Lugosi. Heh.

I was going to point out that Rockwell's turkey is larger, but jon beat me to the punch. I hadn't considered that Power Girl's sweater-zeppelins might be creating an optical illusion, though. M. C. Escher, eat your heart out!

Power Girls aside, I like the JSA cover just because it's warmer and brighter. I'd rather go to their party than the family's.

thekelvingreen said...

Yep, Power Girl for the win.

There's more fun comics/Rockwell stuff here.

I have to point out that the Atom is present in both illustrations.
It's just that in the JSA one, he's much, much smaller and therefore almost invisible to the casual comics reader.

And Kelvin, I think your link isn't the one you had in mind.

thekelvingreen said...

Ah, no. Compare the image I linked to earlier with this one, also by Rockwell.

What, Nixon can't enjoy a thanksgiving dinner like anyone other human being, Craig? Shit, he probably couldn't, could he? I bet he was there to fuck that guy up after he'd had his idyllic family meal. That's how Nixon rolled. And that was before he got the robot body.

Mmmmmm breasts..turkey breast. Seriously though, I'd rather chill with that family than try to make small talk with Superman.

Plus the second you gawk at Breast's Power Girls, you know they are going to toss you out.

Michael Brown said...

Power Girl's breasts aside (which is never a disappointment)... why is The Atom camping it up "Broadway Style" down the middle of the table. I can't look at this without thinking his little voice is belting out "Oklahoma" at the top of his little lungs.

Michael Brown said...

Whoops... just noticed that this had been pointed out earlier. My bad.

Dweeze said...

It's not Oklahoma. He's trying to time his leap into the middle of the Power Girls.

At least that's what I would be doing.

JSA wins, but their turkey looks like a plate of crap compaired to Rockwell's.

Breast's Power Girls

Bravo! Nicely done, sir or madam.

Xakyrie said...

Hah, no problem.

I've always wondered if you'll ever review Banzai Girl :)

Actually, the turkey does look more like a pile of crap than a turkey, but Power Girl doesn’t look like anybody’s mother, either.

Maybe like the typical horn-toad teenager’s idea of the perfect babysitter, especially if they get to play "Indian sacrifice" with her... OOPS! did I say that? Yes, I did, but most of the MCP (Male Chauvinist Porkers) out there were thinking it...

Anyway, Power Girl and the JLA/JSA for the win!
