Friday Night Fights---T.H. Style!!

Sometimes, I just am flabbergasted.

Right after I finish a 9,000,000 word post on a Leo Dorfman/Kurt Schaffenberger Lois Lane opus, I come across the duo doing their voodoo over in Jimmy Olsen #159. Beware...whatever your orientation, this one will leave you feeling funny.

The scene: Jimmy Olsen is being hunted by the police, who believe that he's selling the police department's "anti-crime plans" to the underworld. (SPOILER ALERT: He's innocent). So he's got to go on the lam. Jimmy disguises himself while trying to track down "Max the Actor," "the notorious hood who uses a dozen disguises to pull off his jobs."

So what does Jimmy decide to disguise himself as?

And that book would be, 'My Life as a Woman'Oh, this is going to be wrong on sooo many levels, isn't it?

Slick chick isn't the exact phrase I would useBut Jimmy, cuffs and collars don't match!!

Wait--he wants guys to whistle at him?Jimmy Olsen in a mini-skirt just may be THE MOST DISTURBING THING EVER...

Thugs attracted to guys dressed like damesUnderworld thugs, prepare for a beat down:

This move stolen by Angie Dickinson for Police WomanNo one wields a purse like Jimmy..

Later, Jimmy is captured by the police and their "masquerade squad" (please don't ask). But one of the cops is actually Max the Actor, so it's time for Jimmy to take him down, even while handcuffed:

Jimmy Olsen, with boobs, wearing handcuffs, belting a cop--this got past the Code how??Oh, that's a knockout!!

Our sweet epilogue:

So say we all, Commissioner...so say we allMan , Dorfman and Schaffenberger, you guys...well, you guys rock, in a crazy, deluded, mind-melting sort of way.

And I can't believe that I made it all the way through here without once using the phrase "tranny hooker."

Oops, there go my Google hits...

No disguise can fool Bahlactus...he can tell the men from the women, right?

Jimmy's life as a tranny hooker is joyfully presented in Jimmy Olsen # 159, 1973
