I always wondered if Calvin and Hobbes would have come into existence without Talky Tawny having paved the way?

I particularly enjoyed the moment towards the end of 52 when Black Adam threatened to feed Sivana to Batson's talking tiger.

You want a disturbing take on Tawky Tawny? Check out the Astro City issue with Loony Leo. Nothing beats a living cartoon lion being found in a hotel with a dead, 13-year-old hooker.

Boy, I hope Judd Winick uses him in Trials soon!

A talking-tiger sidekick? Equal parts Shere Khan and Babar?

...wow, the Marvel Family just became, like, x1000 more interesting to me. I now totally understand why people get nervous at any hint of 'darkening' this universe. That first cover is so innocently awesome it's almost scary.
