DCU Holiday Bash #1, p. 51 (The Flash)

Perfect page to post for the Holidays! 

The dramatic reading that I could do with this page...

Just be careful when you get to the final panel.  Too weak a WHAP! to the head will diminish the entire performance, but too strong a WHAP! could lead to significant injury.  

What she really wants is a "don't do meth in the bathroom" candle. He needs to be a better listener. Pretty sure this is what my wife asked for. 
I thought odd request but hey it's her gift.

If there's one thing all meth users have in common, it's their unquestioning obedience to candles with messages on them.  So, such a candle could never be a bad gift to someone who wants a meth-free bathroom.

These holiday specials were always must buys for me. Usually quieter stories that foregrounded character moments.

I come home, in the Christmas night
My Linda asks, "When you gonna put up the  lights?"
Oh Linda dear, we'll have the holiday fun
But girl, this Wong Fu has none
Oh girl, just came from a run

The Flash ring, wear the costume in the night
My Linda yells, "What you gonna buy for your wife?"
Oh Lady dear, I’ll buy you Bash number one
But girl, the Wong Fu has none
Oh girl, just wanna run

I'm confident that this would have brought a smile to Cyndi Lauper's fake dad, Captain Lou Albano.

I too, always had a soft spot for the Marvel and DC holiday specials. They alway offered so lighthearted fun, which was a nice break from the usually far more serious stories going on in the regular titles. But damn, don't keep us in suspense, what did Wally finally figure out she wanted in the final panel???

Linda wanted Wally to show that he was not like Derek by actually listening to her.

Wally: Here you go.

Linda: Oh, I was just kidding about the leg. I just need these two things.

Wally: What?

Linda: No, I thought it'd be funny! Was it funny? No, wait, what'd he look like hopping around?

Wally: I had to transfer him 30,000 units!

I don't listen either Wally.

Always love a piece that can rekindle the past. Holiday pieces are just plain awesome. Congrats!

A cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers!  What did she want??  Yeah, the Christmas special issues were always so much fun.  Thanks for sharing this one.

I am also a fan of those thematic holidays stories as it presents the characters we know and love in an even more human way, easily connecting with the reader.

(But I have my own X-Mas rereading comics ;)

Great page!! Happy Holydays!!

A most timely posting, Michael!  Not only are those holiday specials timeless and worthy of revisiting regardless of the season, but I feel like this has been my own internal monologue for a couple weekends now.  I only wish I had a Wong Fu Factory Outlet of my own to wander through...  Really fun page with a cool panel layout, too.  Great pick up, Michael!

This is a great page that captures what makes Wally such an appealing character.  Paul Ryan was a superb artist who never really got his due. Thank you for sharing, my friend.  

Always gotta love nostalagic pieces that remind us of yesteryear.  Congrats on the great pickup!

This was a terrific Christmas tale ! Beautiful example from Paul Ryan's great FLASH work !
