SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
In the earliest days of the Golden Age, everyone was ripping each other off, and sometimes it even made its way to court.

I’ve edited this Wonder Woman/Star-Spangled Kid commission slightly. I digitally added pink briefs to Wonder Woman for internet viewing. Even though I think casual nudity is often hilarious, much of the world does not. I try not to (overly) offend when there’s no real need to do so.
Naturally, the joke is dependent on the viewer knowing that Wonder Woman’s outfit has a star pattern on her bottom half, much like Star-Spangled Kid’s top. Here’s the Kid’s debut page:

As a very young kid I knew nothing about the Star Spangled Kid. I had only seen him on the cover of an All Star Comics when he was part of The Super Squad. But I loved that costume so much that I made Star Spangled Kid my CB handle (can’t get more 70s than that).
