You got HOW DRUNK last night?

A hulk-comic-con-160.jpgreader, Dr. Bruce Banner, writes in with a fashion dilemma.

hulk-comic-con-160.jpg“Bob,” he begins, “I have a friend who is too shy to write to you himself. He is one of those hard-to-fit sizes who would love to dress better but can never seem to find nice clothes for his frame. Can you help?

“P.S. He looks good in green.”

Thank you for writing, Dr. Banner, but it sounds to me as though your friend needs to find his own voice. He should let go, and release his inner anger. Maybe try breaking some things.

In the meantime, though, I’m happy to direct you to a creation presented at a fashion show just today. Jaunty and casual, it could be just what the “doctor” ordered, so to speak, for your pal.

Don’t worry, be happy. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

Apparently, this designer hasn’t heard: “It’s not easy being green.”

And, why does the model remind me of the shrimp (I’m sorry, “prawn”) in Disney movies?

That must be The newly revised Emo version. “The Incredible Sulk.”

Well, I know what I will be wearing to the beach this weekend. I will be the incredible “Hulkette.” I would like to think everyone would leave at the sight of me, in fear, but alas I think them pointing and laughing would be a more realistic expectation.

The fashion industry is really turning to Sh*t when they are using large green, half naked monsters as their inspiration.

Typical of the fashion industry. Green with envy at someone elses designs.

Somebody needs to organize an intervention for the jolly green giant’s meth problem

Troll? Yes. Definitely a troll. Sharply dressed troll though. The belt really complements the warty green skin. I’m seeing ogres modeling Prada next Spring.

They spend all that time painting the guy green, then they give him a belt that clashes with his skin?

Green? That’s what happens if you wear green underwear

It is a little known bit of trivia that early experimental formulations of Copper Tone contained a significant quantity of the metal.
