VAINgirls 671-680

671 - Lifetime guaranteed

Original: Love Romances comics

Ah, sisters: "Can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em" is often even more true for them than women in general. My grandson is five and he loves his little sister who is only two, but it's already clear who calls the shots. :-)

672 - The way it should be

Original: Love Letters comics

Of course things don't always work out as we would like them to, but sometimes they do. If they didn't, how would we ever survive the times they don't?

673 - What percent woman?

Original: Wedding Bells comics

Clothes (and makeup and etc.) may not make the woman, but if she's in there, they may bring her out.

674 - Powered by testrogen

Original: Mary Marvel comics (issue #1)

I actually created the character of T-Gurl (powered by Testrogen) in my mind about ten years ago before Halloween 1999. I intended to go to a party dressed as her and then incorporate her into my show. I had her costume barely started, though, when I got sick. I missed Halloween and never had a chance to finish her for my show. I regret that, and this cover is my tribute to "what might have been!".

675 - Resistance is futile!

Original: American Weekly magazine, part of the Chicago American newspaper, Feb. 8, 1959

Once appearances have been satisfied, the reality of the situation may slip out.

676 - Pleasantly alienated!

Original: Taannda, White Princess of the Jungle comics

A good alien, a grateful new woman, and a male macho asshole - something a bit different, anyway.

677 - The old balls game!

Original: Patsy Walker comics

Since the damage has been done, big bro ... er, sister will find some way to retaliate. I predict there will soon be public skirts time for little brother :-)

678 - Dressed properly

Original: fashion illustration in either The Queen or French Mode magazine, 1890's (It wasn't clear which.)

I imagine that if Brer Brother complains enough big sis will continue to toss him into the femme patch :-)

679 - Normalcy!

Original: Patsy Walker comics

Well, normalcy in TG fiction land ("normalcy" reputedly coined by President Harding while in Warreena mode.)

680 - School daze!

Original: Archie's Palls and Gals Double Digest (interior panels)

This was fun to do. Chuck and Nancy are drawn enough alike - even to being the same height - that if Nancy were really a boy they actually could be identical twins. I had to put together panels from several pages of the original stories for this. Also, having been a teacher, I know what strange things can show up on show and tell days :-)
