Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, Linkara looks at a crossover comic between Superman and the... Quik Bunny?!
atopthefourthwa...
Originally uploaded May 2nd, 2011.
ORIGINAL INFO: The team-up you demanded! Well, someone demanded. …maybe… probably not…
RUMINATIONS: Superman Meets the Quik Bunny, like the Kool-Aid Man comic, makes you scratch your head and wonder what goes through the minds of certain advertising executives. Can they see the future and can guess that a crossover like this will attract the attention of future citizens who sit and laugh at the mere CONCEPT of the two working together? Or is it more a failure to understand what kids find interesting and cool enough to want to pick up and promote their product? And yet the contents, featuring the dimensionally-transcendental, high-tech, transformable club house, suggest that the comic creators were at least self-aware enough that they could do as many silly, ridiculous, and stupid things as they wanted simply because nobody was going to care and they were getting paid anyway.

To clarify, the safest spot of a HURRICANE is the eye. Doesn't work like that with tornados. Simply put its because of be size of the center of the tornado and the average wind speeds. A hurricane has a much larger eye

@rikacheer 8 лет назад

+max meade i think the eye is technically safe, just next to impossible to safely get to and stay within considering the size and speed. but yeah, aviod being in a tornado whenever possible

@TheSefirosu200x 8 лет назад

Also, doesn't a tornado just move around a lot more, too, so that means you couldn't stay in the eye?

@johnalogue9832 7 лет назад

They're smaller and probably easier to avoid. The main danger posed by tornadoes is debris and to stationary structures, as far as I know.

@nathanthompson4613 6 лет назад

Tornadoes move in that way that human perception calls “random,” so good luck staying in the eye

Well to be honest, I don't think most Americans know where Scotland or Wales even are, so I'm not shocked by this comic's geographical inaccuracy. I went to Scotland when I was a teen and told my high school classmates about my trip, and nearly everyone in my class didn't know where it was. I'm pretty sure they didn't even know where England was either, because when I answered, "Scotland is north of England", I was met with confused stares. And this was in HIGH SCHOOL.

@ShinoSarna 6 лет назад

If you're asking "why" you must understand - it's advertising. Entire point is that if kids will like Kool-Aid Man or Quick Bunny or Chester Cheetah or whatever as a characters - they will likely pressure parents into buying products branded by them over other brands. So that's why you can give away these comics for free or for cheap, to ensure as many kids as possible will see them. Speaking of which, Nesquik is a bigger brand than just chocolate powder - there's flavored milk, cocoa, chocolate syrup, breakfast cereal, candy bars... So there's money to be made on kids here.
