For those of you who don’t read comics (or minds), Charles Xavier is “Professor X”—the telepathic leader of Marvel’s mutant X-Men.
Not that this is a test, but—bonus points if you know why the woman in today’s Last Kiss comic can’t be writer Tony Isabella’s Marvel character Misty Knight.

SCENE: Woman holding her hand up to her forehead.
WOMAN (thinks): What an incredible telepathic booty call! Maybe this long-distance thing…with Charles Xavier…can work out after all!

I thought Misty Knight had a bionic arm. Also, that woman doesn’t have an afro. And if I remember right, Misty Knight did.
Power Man and Iron Fist was one of my favorite comics as a kid.
Jams, you’re right that Misty has an Afro. But hair styles can change. I was thinking of not having a bionic arm as the real reason it couldn’t be Misty.
The classics John. The classics. Misty Knight was like Pam Greer’s Coffy. Just too damn fine to change a thing.
Oh, indeed yes, Jams. I’m not suggesting for a moment that anything about Misty should be changed.
But—since Last Kiss primarily uses found art—I sometimes fudge a bit on appearance when claiming a “celebrity” is in a Last Kiss comic. 🙂
The sexting would be great, too*.
How about Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen?
Uh-oh, I’m in trouble, I just mixed comic genres.
Uh-oh, I just called them “comics”.
*I’m assuming he can project his thoughts, too? I know who Xavier is, but I don’t go deep into X-men.
I don’t have a problem mixing genres or combining characters from rival comic book companies in our little farces. At least not most of the time.
No problem calling them comics. That’s what they are! 🙂
Nah, those long distance telepathic booty calls never work. Tried it once… my mojo must’ve been off that day, certainly my aim was… weird people kept showing up at my door… women with unibrows, women with chronic flatulence, hell, a woman even showed up with what I would swear was a third arm, at least I hope that was an arm and that it belonged to her. Needless to say, I’ll never try THAT again!
Hah! That experience sounds like four or five Last Kiss comics rolled into one!
Yeah, despite all that, it was one HELL of a night!
