12/3 – Declarative Rabbit Says…

Puns have their place in the world, but never as the name of a duo or group.

The rabbit is right once again. Sachs and Violens, anyone?

And the Sugar and Spike hate continues…

I like Cloak and Dagger a lot.

That is all.

Peter David has to feed his family.

Is this the end for my future rap group, Partners in Rhyme?

I always thought Cloak and Dagger worked myself.

No love for the Deep Six? Or the Wrecking Crew? Or… uh…

…well, okay. I guess the Rabbit wins, because those are the only two that aren’t annoying besides Cloak and Dagger.

Hello? The Beatles?

As great as the Beatles are musically, their name is pretty dumb when you think about it.

Anyone else thinking Power Pack?

Or the B Sharps?

The B Sharps were always meant to break up under the weight of their own greatness, so it didn’t matter what their name was. Although the Seymour Skinner Experience might have kept it together a couple years longer.

I once thought up a supervillain duo, a combat guy and a mentalist, named Asskicker and Nametaker. I continue to hold to my opinion that they were cool.

Do Cloak and Dagger count? I mean, sure their name references the phrase “Cloak and Dagger”, but I don’t think that’s actually a pun.

I’m pretty sure Cloak and Dagger, the Wrecking Crew, and the Deep Six are not puns.

It’s not comics related, but hands down the worst example of this trend is the rap group the Cunnglynguists.

Anyone remember an old (~1980) foe of Green Arrow and Black Canary?

An elderly woman and her hillbilly nephews were exposed to toxic waste, granting her telekinesis. Setting out to steal enough money for her own cement pond, the old bat called herself. . . Auntie Gravity.

Can’t make that up.

Hammer & Anvil, Hulk Smash!

Force Works! Hard C.O.R.P.s! Force of July!

Yeah, I guess you’re right.

You are correct, Mr. Rabbit.

Exhibit A: The Force of July

Case closed.

Force of July is SOOOO bad that it circles right back around to good again.

Bec ‘n’ Kawl
Really & Truly

DV8 is the worst.

There were some Spider-Man villains named Styx and Stone. That’s pretty bad. Ooh, how about The Nuclear Family? And Turner D. Century, although that’s just one guy.
