SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
By KERRY CALLEN
Most of the “Super Antics” I’ve created have appeared at some point here at the 13th D. But, we found one that may have slipped through the cracks—!
I drew and shared this on my social media accounts in 2016. When the Justice League movie came out in 2021, I had several people tell me they thought a specific Aquaman scene might have been inspired by it.
The movie was initially directed by Zack Synder, but due to a family tragedy, the film was completed by Joss Whedon, including rewrites. The scene in question involves the JL discussing a strategy to defeat Steppenwolf, when Aquaman begins confessing his true feelings. Among other things, he says, “I don’t want to die. I’m young, there’s shit I want to do,” and then goes on to say he’s scared.
It turns out he was accidentally sitting on Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth!
It could just be a coincidence. Who knows? The joke is rather low hangin’ fruit.
