Parker: Has anyone done a lengthy article on Comics' Greatest Pals? Like Rick Jones bounces back every now and then, Etta Candy less so. Jimmy is easily Top Pal

My latest for Shelfdust, on The Ecstasies of Jimmy O: "Maybe the Silver Age is also about the pleasures of the flesh, and the many different things a body can do and feel within extravagantly escapist enclaves." #Superman #JimmyOlsen #LizardGunk shelfdust.com/2024/07/03/s...

Parker you know I did one

well maybe you DID and maybe you DIDN'T

I think I put Etta Candy as number one because I live for controversy, but you know I’m a Jimmy guy

man The Spectre really got the rawest deal

Amazing Heroes #102 (with a Batman: Year One cover by Mazzucchelli) had a 'Ten Best Super-Hero Sidekicks' article by @nancyacollins.bsky.social back in 1986 during @markwaid.bsky.social's editorial run.

It's probably been covered in either ALTER EGO or BACK ISSUE from TwoMorrows but alas I do not have a complete collection of either.

Snapper Carr is terrible. Jim Wilson was good (RIP). I really liked Steve Roger’s apartment building crew from his “freelance illustrator” days. But they weren’t pals but something rarer; healthy adult friends who aren’t supers.

I demand Percival Pop, Super Cop get his due. Dude was the bestie of God's Angel of Vengeance.

The best Timely could do for comic pals was Sergeant Duffy over in Captain America Comics.

I fear we'll never return to the dizzying Golden Age highs of comic book pals like Doiby Dickles, Woozy Winks, Stretch Skinner and Winky, Blinky, and Noddy.

Is Alfred a Pal?

Doiby Dickles because nobody knows why his name is Doiby anymore.

Woozy Winks! Hal Jordan’s buddy with the name I won’t type here! Also how do the pals overlap with Doctor Who companions? Is Robin a pal, technically? (Probably no since he has a costume.) Marvin and Wendy are pals; the Wondertwins are…not?
