CAUSE THEN I WOULD SAY THAT COMIC BOOKS ARE AWESOME
I’ve always wanted to be Batman. Batman is pretty much my hero. Although, I’m not sure I could take on more than 4 guys at a time. So maybe Robin? Ugh Robin is totally lame. Alfred?
Maybe. I guess being Superman would be cool, but Superman is really a frat boy. Have you ever met anyone from Iowa? I can’t relate to that at all.
I always thought kryptonite looked sweet. But. If you bling out with kryptonite are you actively projecting the image that you are NOT Superman? Plus, it almost definitely gives you cancer. Cancer of the everything too.
Back to the task at hand. Spiderman? Too snarky. Hulk? Can’t speak properly/is green. The Flash? Running: that’s it. Green Lantern? All it takes is a ring.
Maybe I should think more realistically. If I had to actually BE a superhero I’d probably go with Reed Richards. Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four. A sensible choice I would say. Super smart, super bendable and stretchable, leader of men, and he’s married to the hot girl of the group. Though I just now considered the potential caveats of having a wife that can turn on and off invisibility. Goodbye internet porn.
Fuck it I change my vote. Back to Batman. I’d be Batman. He meets a lot of super models. And he kicks ass. Look at the stache!
This picture cracks me up.
I probably have well over 1500 comic books. I still buy them rarely but I now have to focus my disposable income on more concrete and useful things like beer and impulse aisle gummi bears. Speaking of, anyone in the market for 1500 comic books? I know a guy.
When I was a little boy there was nothing better than getting a new comic book and reveling it the story and art. Simpler times eh? I remember simpler times. When I was a wee laddy. Here is a piece by the world’s premier Toy Pianist, Margaret Leng Tan. Did you ever have a toy piano? I did. I don’t think I was any good at it. Nightmare Rag composed by Toby Twining for piano and toy piano. It’s quite playful. Simplify the universe with toy piano Ragtime!
I didn’t destroy anything. I hope that’s cool.
Tune in next week for chicken flava’s universe and how it somehow relates London. Bad food. Worse weather. In the meantime become fan of Chicken Flava on Facebook or you could even follow him around the block on Twitter.

Dear Chicken Flava,
You seem to have a keen understanding of why superheroes are sweet. I mean, totally sweet. And awesome. Superheroes are totally sweet and awesome. And you know it. We’d all want to be Batman, as long as we don’t have to speak like Christian Bale. I’d rather talk like Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from the Animated Series. Oops, I’ve accidentally let slip the veil barely covering my comic dorkdom. (Dorkdom?)

P.S. I’d be super pissed if Batman kicked me in the head while I was eating chocolate ice cream. Sucks to be that guy.
