Parody: What The--?! #2, September '88: "Doctor Deranged"
Gillis, Foglio
A spoof by Marvel of DC's mystical characters, this story includes an appearance by "The Aunty Monitor!" (looking roughly like the Anti-Monitor in his second suit of armor, plus gray wig and pink apron). To quote: "We've decided that this universe has become entirely too complicated!" "You're gonna get rid of us?" "No -- we're just going to change everything around!" [poof] "The first six pages of this story no longer exist! It's the way we do things here!" Amusingly, the What The--?! series (in its various DC parodies) made fun of both the silliness of having multiple Earths, and the silliness of fixing 'em. Issues 1-4 are recommended for giggle value.
