I preferred the show about the monster of the week hunting reporter to the lolly pop eating bald guy that caught criminals. I forget, was Telly Savalas a cop or detective or what?

Ken Aldred Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) It’s a fairly disturbing panel. Reminds me of a local thug who was out with his very big dog, and without the slightest consideration for others around him, including me, allowed it to unleash an explosive, high-pressure torrent onto a post box, deflecting everywhere around. That was a long time ago, but I’ve mailed elsewhere since. Edited August 25, 2020 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a long time ago, but I’ve mailed elsewhere since. In the jerzy kozinski book passion play Fabian is at an outdoor cafe and some loud obnoxious buffoons are making things uncomfortable for everyone. Fabian notices several people have brought their dogs, and he also spots a poodle who has just urinated. He goes to casually wipe up some urine then brushes it against the jackets of the miscreants as he walks by. Soon other dogs pick up the scent and are relieving themselves on the jackets. He expresses satisfaction as the miscreants slowly realize all their jackets are soaked in dog urine. Kozinski was the master at revenge ploys-in Cockpit the protagonist as a child is looking at movie posters at a theater. Doorman comes out and boxes him in the ear yelling at him to get outta here. He gets a brick and a bottle of ketchup and climbs up on the roof 3 stories up. He holds the brick right above the ketchup bottle and drops the bottle. Doorman rushes out, stands over the mess and bends head over to look down at it. Kid then releases the brick- Edited August 25, 2020 by kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That page fully explains how Supes vibrates the molecules in his body at a frequency to nullify sonic booms as he approaches the speed of sound. That’s a good point. Bullets can travel faster than the speed of sound, so if Supes is faster than a speeding bullet he should be destroying urban property and disturbing the peace with one shock wave after another. Kav can confirm for me. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules of fiction are you have to maintain consistency within the fictional world you have created. If there are no sonic booms this must be explained-Superman devised an anti sonic boom device or whatever. Columbo is fictional but that doesnt mean he can suddenly start floating in the air in one episode because after all "Columbo is not real".
