Nice one, Floyd.  Although I have to admit that I am genuinely saddened to find that one of my childhood idols is actually a mentalist prick with delusions of grandeur...

Right, lads, from this moment on, I shall never again use the offensive phrase "thought bubble". Henceforth, such things will be known as an "internal dialogue cloud."

"Speech balloons" will be renamed "roundy things with words in", "shout balloons" will become "pointy things with big words in", and  caption boxes will be known as "Rectangular Meanwhiles".

It's a shame that Mr Byrne appears to have gone off the deep end. His early Sensational She-Hulk comics were great. They're very self-referential, which means that he was, at the time, a bit of a winker himself. Nice to see he hasn't change all that much. Only about a sixth.

Hey Floyd- that was great!
Best one yet, no question.
