Hey, she asked. Ms. Rorshach should have known better than to ask such a question to any seven-year-old kid, especially Hank Addanac. His answer was pretty honest, and along the lines of what I would say.
CHECK OUT: The Fan Art I created for the incomparable Karl Kleese, creator extraordinaire of the webcomic series “Willow’s Grove”!








That was a huge laugh out loud for me! Well done, George. Super. Vision. LOL
Thanks, Jande! That's a gift every kid would like to have.
Reminds me of a running joke in Jay Ward's 1960's Superchicken cartoons:
"Gee, Superchicken, why don't you use your Super Vision?"
"If I had any supervision, you think I'd be running around in this costume?"
But then, I know all the old jokes from 1960's cartoons, because I was a kid then AND I never grew up.
I'm familiar with a lot of Ward's work, but I've never actually seen much SuperChicken. I have heard that it was a fun show though.
I don't think any of us are ever gonna voluntarily grow up. I know I'm not.
Although it was created years before (but never sold as a series), "SuperChicken" only saw the light of day as a secondary toon on the "George of the Jungle" show. Of course, everything's on YouTube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVRgUtgLNI
My favorite Jay Ward trivia: the under-credited Bill Scott, who, while given the Co-Executive-Producer title with Ward on all his productions, was not listed as one of the voice actors, even though he did the voices of Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, Mr. Peabody, George of the Jungle and SuperChicken, among others.
I was ahuge fan of Sherman and Mr. Peabody. In fact, one of my long-form tales in ADDANAC CITY (Hard Time:The Life and Legend of the Boll Weevil) had a few neat guest cameos of the duo when Hank went back in time:

The actual story begins here though:

Hanks a little perv
I just now noticed what he's staring at in the second panel. Those aren't her eyes, are they?
As clever as I thought I was, I still din't see THAT comin'. . . . BUT I don't blame him at all ! When I was his age, I had a counselor who was a complete KNOCK OUT !!!! I wonder what happened to that lady. SUPER VISION would've made me a happy , happy kid !
I wonder if we had the same counselor? I graduated in 1990.
LOL I knew that would be the answer. No one would EVER miss an opportunity like that.
And Hank is as quick-witted as they come.
Another classic Hank comic! Thanks George!!! I love the $#!% that comes out of that kids mouth!
Kids say the darnedest things, and they're especially rambunctious around these parts.
Huh! Now I feel stupid. I didn't get the *inuendo* in that. lol Figgers the guys got it. :`D
Don't feel bad at all, Jande. I didn't intentionally put any innuendos in this strip. I guess us guys just subconsciously have a tendency to look for these things. In retrospect, I can see what they see, but I didn't plan it that way. Whoops!
Bwahahahahahaha. That kid is hopeless.
Have a terrific day and weekend.
Maybe there's a teacher somewhere that can tame this kid.
Oh, the things Hank could do with x-ray vision!
I'd rather he had X-ray vision than heat vision. I don't see Hank as having the proper makings of a super-hero.
It's not often you see Hank with his eyes wide open like in the last panel
He's trying to get an early start on his X-ray technique.
That Hank puts the pun in punk!
I may use that tagline in a future ad, Jerry.
The teacher should have seen that answer coming…lol
She's not as slick as Hank is.
That would be quite handy!
I would kill for that power. Or, I'd pay heartily for it. I'm rather squeamish.
She's a super-vision if I do say so myself!
I think so too. There's just something scrumptious about her. I think it's her hair I like.
Well she did ask. Ya can't blame Hank for giving a straight answer.
Maybe it would be better if Ms. Yesnik focused upon some of the other kids for awhile.
Oh oh and he should also ask for an invisibility cloak!
I would LOVE to have one of those. I may not necessarily do good with one, but I'd love to have it.
Hahaha…
I love for how it looks like Hank has almost convinced himself it's gonna happen, too!
That is some honest childhood expectation, isn't it. He's just waiting for the transformation.
I remember I always wanted to send away for those X-Ray vision glasses in the comics mail order page when I was a kid. I knew I'd be able to see through girls clothes with them. Mum wouldn't let me get a pair. I still am curious as to whether they would work or not.
My mother would never let me order those. I had to settle for the little ventriliquist dummy. It was about a foot tall and came with a little mimeographed sheet telling me how to be a world-class ventriliquist.
