Ha! Classic…
On another note, I saw on SpeedsterSite that Manapul posted: “Wally’s co-feature is back?!”
It was fairly recent, and I was wondering if anyone new anything about that?
No, that was SpeedsterSite’s response to Francis Manapul’s remark about hearing some “awesome awesome news.”
I don’t get it. Does that mean that only 1st-string characters will be featured? Does the little boy write and draw his own characters and that’s what his older brother means by “his own comics?”… sorry, I just.. don’t get it..
It’s a joke about how the iPad won’t display Flash animation.
I think it’s also a play on how as gatekeeper Apple allows some Apps to be made and not others, sometimes seemingly arbitrarily.
My wife and 10 year old step-on read this comic in the Sunday paper and were baffled. They brought it to me to translate. Once I stopped laughing my butt off at such a geeky joke, I was able to explain it to them. I still don’t think they saw the humor in it.

I think there at least a couple of different ways to interpret it. Both are painfully geeky.
I originally thought it was dissing The Flash but that last panel more or less killed that idea.
SHAG: “Step-on” is a pretty funny typo. Ok, mildly funny.
“Step-on”. Freudian slip! 😛

I don’t know if I should be proud that I got this joke on the first read, but it’s hilarious either way.
