Back in the 1970s, us kids didn’t have the fancy silly string web shooters. We had water shooters. I’d but this for $3.75, would you?

@11 – His arch-enemy was Kevin.
@10 – interesting. I always suspected he was a shape shifter who was spying on Peter’s attractive neighbour, and stumbled onto Peter’s identity in the process. We could both be right, that would make for an interesting OGN.
@7 – I like to think that Baxter was the interdimensional guardian of a doorway to other dimensions.
All the letters were from a happy birthday and anniversary banner.
I was asked I believe about 7 times that night and 5 were from women. Sadly even though I was single at the time they were there with their boyfriends. But I can say I had an “A” for effort. I won most original but 1st went to this friend of mine who made an incredible Mad Hatter costume and this was 9 years before Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Ryan – That is a great costume idea.
One Halloween I dressed as Dr. Horrible, and had explain it a few times. How many times did you have to explain this one?
@5 – That dog haunts me! He’s my F.A.C.AD.E! What was he up to?
I was part of two of these types of contests. The first was as Typeface, which in the pre-facebook days of 2000 would have probably have gotten me so many likes and shares it would have went viral. The following year I ended up creating the Flash rogue, Murmur from mask to leather costume, Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver were so impressed it was part of the comicbloc boards for a few years. After almost a decade out of creating costumes based on obscured super villains I created Bomb Voyage from the Incredibles since one of the homecoming themes this year for my school was the Incredibles. I even worked on translating quotes from the movie into French and several teachers and students who were wearing the made up costumes from the movie were shocked how easily I put it together and impressed how well it mirrored the movie.
@4 – With Baxter the dog as the big bad.
I wanted a mini series with Kevin and Fusion.
I think it’s fair to say this was not one of Paul’s better villains. But I miss Fusion. He should be used more. (And Kevin the Cheese)
Reason # 121423 why Paul Jenkins rocks!
I just gave Paul Jenkins a heads up about this awesome cosplay. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. LOL
