A Daily Dose of the 1970s in Action
"I came for the cakes. I stayed for the comments." – An Official Review from “Anonymous”
Well goodness, El Dragón, if you were only paying attention! It was a puppy, of course! Followed by the immediate panic of a flying child.
Funny that “excited” involves a child laughing and jumping around, and “excitement” is apparently a lot of bother and noise. Two very different perspectives on two very similar words.
Well usually the way fire escapes from a stove is that someone is very careless and leaves something on the stove too long and it catches fire. And since the stove is actually the top bit, it’s really really easy for a fire to escape from it.
Always put a lid on grease fires!
I’ll assume this isn’t your house, El Dragón, because if it is, I’m going to be very disappointed in you.
They go “PRRUMPH!!”
Super Dictionary, I’d say I was surprised at you for your extremely vague definition of “elephant,” but we both know that you have a history for being really bad at defining animals.
But I am a little disappointed that you didn’t even feel it necessary to mention that elephants are the largest land mammals. On the other hand “trunk” does narrow it down significantly.
I do like that they are just having the time of their lives with El Dragón. Check out that sweet dancing.
And inside some eggs are Ray Palmers.
Man, that sentence is really awkward, isn’t it? It could really do with a “there” in it after “eggs.”

And so we conclude another page of The Super Dictionary. Come back next time for more important adventures with eggs, oranges, and fashion disasters! (Or maybe something new next time — but something just as important.)

It was smoke from this dragon! (Or was it?!)
Well that dragon certainly looks real.
And if it’s not real, then you have some pretty spectacular hallucinations, El Dragón.
Which raises the concerning question: Are all of El Dragón’s brave deeds simply figments of his imagination?
I’m going with no, and I’m also going with the fact that this dragon is plenty real and he’s going to have to fight it!
====
And so concludes another page of The Super Dictionary! Will El Dragón triumph over imagination? Will imagination triumph over him?! TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT!
(Or just to see the next page of words, since I’m sure we’ll never see hide nor hair of this again.)
Check out under the cut for today’s full page! Complete with dragon smoke.
Woah woah woah. Since when do friends order friends into danger?! That seems awfully mean.
I mean, I know El Dragón is a superhero and everything, so it’s his job as the only competent hero in this book to go into dangerous situations, but this just sounds like Miguel’s friends are really flippant about the situations they throw their “friend” into. Something tells me they’ve only befriended him in order to secure some personal safety.
====
As El Dragón once again hurls himself in the path of danger for the sake of people’s lives, we end this page of The Super Dictionary. Come back tomorrow for more fantastic (and I do mean fantastic in the most literal sense) adventures (and I mean that in the least literal sense)!
Check out under the cut for today’s unchopped page!
Delaware: The First State! (that ratified the Constitution).
But which ocean?!
I don’t see why they didn’t just use that logic for every definition in the letter D! Saves time, saves space…seems logical.
Though I suspect that it will confuse children, because even though “dragón” is the noun, his name technically starts with “e.”
I’m not surprised that someone as well off as El Dragón goes sledding in Colorado. Probably up in Aspen!
Maybe that’s how he heard about those boys lost in the blizzard. Miguel Rodriguez heard some panicked parents realizing their boys were missing, and suddenly El Dragón appeared and promised to return the children safely.
He keeps little girls alive, he saves kids from blizzards, he has two cars, he has a house with two bathrooms, he eats vegetables…
I’m sold. El Dragón is easily the most hero-y hero in this entire tome.
I mean, aside from being named El Dragón. But he’s a superhero. It goes with the territory.
So I guess El Dragón really likes dragons.
I wonder what his favorite kind of dragon is. European? Chinese? Aztec?
Maybe he just can’t pick. They’re all so great in their own ways!
