A Daily Dose of the 1970s in Action
"I came for the cakes. I stayed for the comments." – An Official Review from “Anonymous”
had to pause the episode for five minutes
This incident would not be out of place in our own dear Super Dictionary.
I feel proud to claim it for our own.
That is one foxy fairy, if I do say so myself.
Uh huh, Atom. You just want to help the fairy find the lost fairies. It has nothing to do with the fact that the fairy you’re riding with is an absolute babe.
Seriously, she looks like she’s straight out of a harem.
…And her wings look like balloons that are…tied to her shoulders.

With that magic-science team up, we conclude the first page of the letter “F”. Come back tomorrow (No really! Tomorrow!) for more fantastic adventures with The Super Dictionary!
Check out under the cut for today’s full page!
Who are you talking to, Atom?
Atom, I’m pretty sure becoming even tinier in someone’s hands isn’t going to stop them from smashing you. Or at least not if you only become that tiny.
But either way, a more direct solution to this smashing problem would be to just become normal-sized again.
Of course El Dragón was careful. He’s El Dragón!
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.)

Maybe Conjura played a trick on him.
That’s the only explanation for this:
What?
Lemme get this straight.
Ray Palmer, the Atom, the man who can make himself tiny on a sub-atomic level, thought that he actually disappeared once?
I can understand if someone else was scared and thought Atom disappeared. That would make sense. A bystander could see Atom turn super tiny super fast and think that he had actually disappeared.
But Atom actually thought. That he disappeared.
Sorry Super Dictionary, but even if this is the result of Atom’s head injury, I just can’t buy it.
They can go dining with Comet and Krypto!
Since when?
I guess Barry and Ray are both scientists, so they can bond over science, but why not use established friends? I guess they were running low on their Flash quota for this book, and why pass up an opportunity use Atom?
Maybe they’ll talk about how both of them are constantly referred to as “The Flash” and “The Atom.” Must be tough, having a determiner as part of your name sometimes.
Don’t count yourselves safe, yet, fleeing townspeople.
I’d say that you’re still at great risk of dying. After all, you have the guy who can make himself tiny (and that’s pretty much it) fighting an abnornally sized crab-thing. This isn’t really much of a job for the Atom. It’s more of a job for, say, Superman. Or possibly Ant-Man if The Super Dictionary has forgotten a) which comic universe it’s writing for and b) what Atom’s powers are.
I am pretty amused that Atom’s offensive technique is to run up and hit this crab-thing in the butt, though.
But once again, I’m rather impressed with the panicking populace’s smooth, in unison thanks.
If you didn’t remember, Atom makes himself tiny all the time!
The Super Dictionary’s never sure if we remember, so they need to constantly remind us by having Ray be tiny for no apparent reason.
But why did you creep through a mouse hole, Atom? And where?
Were you sneaking around an evil-scientist-rogue’s laboratory? Because that’s one of two places mouse holes show up in comics — haunted houses and evil laboratories.
====
And so as Atom certainly scares a family of mice, we end today’s page of The Super Dictionary. Come back tomorrow for more adventures in tiny holes with crazy people!

Once again, this just begs the question: Why?
Yeah, I guess. He can shrink down small enough to get through the pores of the shell, and then make himself bigger to be egg-sized, but I wouldn’t say he fits “comfortably” in an egg.
Eggs are, after all, full of liquid egg. He’d probably be suffocating in egg goo by doing that.
Picking and choosing, eh SR-12?
I guess choosing friends to go with you on a space trip is better than choosing to be tortured by a little girl.
