Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for June 25, 2009

His grandfather must have been a printing press. Etaoin Shrdlu indeed.

Translation: Oil can! Hurry! Lock jaw!

The lights are on, but no one’s home.

Why did the Tin Woodman always need oil? Tin doesn’t rust. And keep your fingers away from those teeth!

As deep as Xaxos was, the pressure should have done damage, in addition to the salt water.

Does one of those submarine guys look like Warbucks with hair, mustache, and beard?

‘Xaxos! International man of mystery. Banker to the rogue regimes of every rathole across this wicked world!’ He is a cyborg who can withstand fire and water (though he does seem to dismember too easily). It took a hydraulic press to finally squash the life out of the Terminator so the ocean depths weren’t going to do it to Xaxos.

This is where Robot Sandy’s trainer tells the submarine crew to dry off Xaxos with a blow dryer.

He makes Davros (of Dr. Who) look like Prince Charming.

Xanox not only one talk funny! Henchmen speak own language like idiots. Or speak English instead own language. Henchmen not too bright.

Chikuku; So he was really a in plated man of steel…hey, did Superman ever need oil?

Gleep means You people talk funny.

Gleep’s also from Josie & The Pussycats In Outer Space.

All I know is that the dismembered head is whacked.

Chikuku; So he was really a in plated man of steel…hey, did Superman ever need oil?

Only to keep his piston lubed.

I thought Lois lubed his piston!

No, Supes lubed her pistons.

Morning, Anniephans!

Now that you’ve got him, what are you going to do with him?
