No post and a question
[Edited: It's been brought to my attention that by writing this post in the way I did, I might have hurt the feelings of people who are transsexual or transgendered. I didn't mean to target anyone with this post, and only meant to evoke the old humor tradition of cisgendered men dressed in women's clothing that's used in Shakespeare or Monty Python. I didn't consider that my joke could be interpreted as deriving humor from transgender issues. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused.]
I'm taking a break from recapping this week, mostly because I've got to brush up on some work and go to bed early.
I am of course vastly jealous of anyone getting to go to SDCC. Someday, I swear I'll find a way to go. I've heard it's an experience.
I also found myself thinking of a weird question. Which comic book character would you least want to see attempt to cross-dress?
For me, it'd be Ben Grimm. For obvious reasons.
But on the other side, it'd be pretty hilarious.
Hmm.
So I'll amend my question: which comic book character would you want to see attempting to cross-dress, for the sole reason of it being really really funny?
(Book, movie, tv characters are all okay too)

On one side? Mary Marvel.
On the other side? He-Man. (For some reason, I don't think having a twin sister is gonna work on him.)

Guy Gardner- gingham and pinafore. Mainly for Tora and Bea's expressions than anything else.

Ben Grimm did actually cross-dress; in an issue of Mad magazine (it was in Upcoming Movies based on Comic Books - Human Torch Song Trilogy "herodom's hunkiest hothead, Johnny Storm, burns out of the closet in this touching story of one man's struggle against a society that already has little tolerance for gay men who can't spontaneously combust! Audiences will cheer and join along in shouting Johnny's suddenly-meaningful catch-phrase, 'Flame On!'")
I love Mad magazine. Go Superduperman! Go Nivlem!

I would buy any book that had Thor in full bridal regalia. It happened in Norse mythology, so it would even fit the character.
(It would also be hilarious.)

Hands down, Alfred. I think he'd carry it off with SUCH panache.

The first character that comes to mind is Beast. Hank McCoy in classic blue and an evening gown?
Also, She-Thing. Sharon in a tux might not be quite as funny as Ben in a dress, but still...
