I wonder if aging superheroes wear corrective tights.

The big event in Dallas this weekend — not counting the fact that Sam comes home tomorrow from his trip to California! — is Comic Con 2012 at the Irving Convention Center. Although I have zero interest in this crazy comic book obsession, I’m intrigued by some of the D-list “celebrities” who show up to sign autographs ... including Adam West and Burt Ward, TV’s Batman and Robin, respectively, who apparently earn a living with this horseshit. According to the Dallas Comic Con website, West charges $60 for an autograph and Ward charges $50 ... payable in cash directly into their sweaty palms at the autograph table. Holy rip-off, Batman!

And so, in honor of Comic Con 2012, I’m pleased to present the superhero edition of the Howdygram’s Holy Crap Gallery.

Also included above are Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman on the “Batman” TV series, and Van Williams, TV’s “Green Hornet.” I wonder if all these aging superheroes have to wear corrective tights.

In case you’re interested, after I fold a few bath towels and empty the dishwasher I have no plans for tonight whatsoever. I’m considering a bucket of homemade soup for dinner followed by sugar-free pudding — provided the milk in the fridge is still any good — and then a couple of old movies. Please send an email if you’d like to come over, okay? Thank you for reading this.
