    Me too. Holy cow that's stunning. Looks like Ditko inks, too.

    Stunning is the perfect word, and thanks for join'n me in pauper's prison (so broke we cannae even pay attention)

    Yup, looks like Ditko inks to me too. Four fingers on the right hand, three on the left, and a smaller big toe on the right foot than on the left. I wonder if that was deliberate? Nice though.

      I'd mop the floor with him, o he who hides behind a Conan avatar.

      Hey! I dig Mike's pic of young Arnold. Did I ever tell you guys I know the man who played Conan on Broadway. He's now in his sixties, but still incredibly buff, and sells the best New York-style pizza ever

      Och, my bearded avatar is much more handsome, Cap'n. What's the difference between a New York-style pizza and other types?

      Wow, I always assumed that was your photo, not an avatar. New York pizza (like Ritchie B's, the Broadway Conan) is not describable taste-wise, but is thin and big, with a crispy crust, and you have to fold it and walk down the street while eating #Travolta#SaturdayNightFever

      Yup, it's my photo - which I use as an avatar. I prefer pizzas with a thick, soft base, but I'll try a New Yorker if I ever visit.

    Much like my self. If I had a real picture of me up there in my buff awesomeness it would ruin Kid's ego for life.

      Mike, time for your reality pill. Charles Atlas and Arnold Schwarzenegger were aiming to emulate my manly-man build - and failed.
