A Daily Dose of the 1970s in Action
"I came for the cakes. I stayed for the comments." – An Official Review from “Anonymous”
Stuck a feather in his hat and called it “macaroni”!
But it’s not so fancy that it gets called “famous,” now is it, Ollie?
I bet you’re looking up at Batman’s panel-bursting, swirling cape and just thinking, “Dear God, I need to get me one of those.”
Because we all know that you’re super jealous of Batman.

With that concludes today’s page of The Super Dictionary! Tune in next time for more jealousy driven adventures of Oliver Queen!

Well she does have a mighty roar.
Just not the kind you’d necessarily be thinking of.
Why roar like a lion when you can knock people out with your Canary Cry?

While Dinah wishes for more voice based super powers, we conclude another page of The Super Dictionary. Come back tomorrow for more madness from the 1970s.

What’d you guys do?
This is a fabulous start to the last page of “D”.
Hal, what is with you and ducks? First custom order duck toys, now a whole duck under your arm. I think we need to have a talk.
And what other ducks? Ollie clearly does not have any ducks because he’s way too busy running away from a mob.
In any case, GL’s about to get clotheslined.
(I’m picturing a Benny Hill-esque chase scene. I probably wouldn’t be, except for the duck.)
Ding dong!
Or “ring ring.” Whatever floats your boat.
Of course you do, Ollie. Of course you do.
I wonder whose house that is. Canary’s? Really interesting that one side of the path has grass and the other side is apparently the…desert? Not grass, anyway.
And look at Ollie’s curls! They’re so bouncy and fresh. I wonder what product he uses to keep them looking so pretty. On the other hand, he seems to have forgotten to fold up the brim today. It looks like he’s wearing a warped soldier’s helmet.
How many of these heroes were chosen just to fill the birthday-month quota?
Probably twelve of them.
Hm. Yup.
December 9th.
Well done, Super Dictionary.
“Quit staring at my butt” is what Dinah’s really thinking.
But…you’re not in any corners. You’re in the middle of a city area. Possibly with a river behind you? But you’re definitely not stuck in a room with piles of baddies just coming out of the corners. You have plenty of space to move and run.
Canary, that dude closest to you looks like he’s…dancing up to you? Like just shuffling up. Are they some kind of dance cult and they’re going to try to dance you to death?
Also geez, Ollie, how dumb do you think your fake-blonde girlfriend is to not notice dudes creeping up in front and behind you? This is a woman who runs self-defense classes in her Black Canary persona.
Just because she gets kidnapped all the time doesn’t mean that she’s just completely unobservant.
====
With that we conclude the first page of the letter D! It’s a momentous occasion, and I’m pretty sure that from here, the definitions only get more ridiculous. Come back tomorrow for more adventures with…The Super Dictionary!

Catwoman, that’s no way for a lady to act!
In my head, Catwoman just barged into their secret clubhouse completely deranged and started chasing Robin around their fancy meeting table with her club while Batman, Canary, and Arrow all sat there laughing at the silliness.
I do like that apparently they didn’t let Wonder Woman into their club, so she huffily went off and joined a bunch of other clubs.
Wait a minute…
Well, Canary, if you would just turn to your right, you’ll find all the clocks behind the door! No one actually burgled your immense clock collection! It really was a joke! (And where’d you get that jacket, Dinah? That’s not your usual form-fitting wear!)
And hey, Arrow, how the hell do you know the clocks are missing? You’re not even in the room yet!
Upon further inspection: none of those clocks are even showing the same time. They’re just set to random hours and minutes. What the heck is up with that?
====
It could be hours until Ollie and Dinah realize that they’ve just been tricked — maybe for an April Fool’s joke! — so we’ll leave them to it. But come back tomorrow for another page of The Super Dictionary!
Check out under the cut for today’s unchopped page!
Vroom vroom!
Arrow, are you trying to save Canary or just be there to catch her when she jumps off the train?
This seems like a really ill coordinated plan.
Also, I’m sad that that’s not the Arrow Car. Though I am kind of curious about what kind of car it is, because it looks kind of like a chariot and not a real car.
Why doesn’t Ollie fix his own bowstrings?
I don’t blame him for making that face. I’ve snapped ponytail holders and rubber bands and that hurts. I bet snapping a bowstring hurts way worse.
Hey! Where’d that stray arrow go? I guess we’ll find out on the next page! What a panel-breaking tease!
(On a side note: This is yet another oddly specific word to go in a dictionary for children. I think the last one that I really noticed as feeling out of place (rather than old fashioned, like bonnet), was another Green Arrow related word — arrow. It’s like someone in charge of this project decided to use Green Arrow because he’s hip with the jive and then realized that maybe little kids had no idea what Arrow’s materials were called.)
