I think Oracle may have been commentating on this blog

I'm sure most of you have seen and read the numerous comments left here on this blog as well as my ROM blog by the person known as Randomnerd. Around Halloween last year she sent me this cute head shot of herself. If you all remember I not too long ago made a posting about the history of Barbara Gordon a.k.a Oracle with the Suicide Squad. That's when I came across this clip art you see here even though I didn't use it in that posting at the time. As you can see here there's an uncanny resemblance between Randomnerd and this hot Barbara Gordon drawing. I want to say the art is by Adam Hueys but I'm not positive off hand. Naturally, I had some trouble getting consent from Randomnerd to use the photo in a posting for a while there. But I can be pretty persuasive when I need to be in a Sith Lord kinda way. Well who am I kidding here, I would never harm one of my favorite commentators of the fairer sex on this blog. And just on a general note here people, I freaking love good looking woman who read comics and like sci-fi!
correction 2/19: Just found out that the Barbara Gordon clip art was done by an obviously talented artist by the name of Lorena Carvalho

  1. Sorry I've been M.I.A. but you know how it is with work, the wife and kids. Well come to think of it no you don't you unmarried no kid having with all that free time on your hands jerk off! But it looks like I decided to look in on things here just in time. Randomnerd's a real cutie and you've had a thing for redheads since our C.V. High days.

  4. well there's no reason why you can't put on some glasses and stage a photo to look even more like that rendering of Barbara. i'll post it, cause nothing is too good for my loyal pawns.

  8. aren't those X-ray goggles? back when they were being sold in comics as glasses i sent away for a pair but nothing ever showed up in the mail. and when i sent out for my sea monkeys all they turned out to be were common brine shrimp.

  12. I'm in too. although i still cry myself to sleep every night that Babs doesn't live around in my neck of the woods.
    gingers, isn't that what you kiwis in the NZ call red heads. did that come from Ginger on Gilligan's Island?

  18. Wow, there really is a strong facial resemblance going on there!

    Not too mention *gasp* other blogs here, but I would half expect to see these two photos over on Bleeding Cool's "swipe file" :)

  19. hey BollWeevilPrime, welcome to the party it's good to have you back! keep your shirt on Babs i got another posting coming right up. that shirt comment is just a figure of speech you actually can take it off if you want. this ain't egypt or libya, it's a free country and if good looking woman want to show off their God given attributes then so be it! i love it when women celebrate their freedoms here. especially in the summer time!

  20. Thanks for the heads up David. If I ever decide to express my freedom in that particular way, I certainly will let you know. :P

  21. Random, Dave's all about freedom of expression. The man's a saint.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah. I can see the halo all the way over here. Quite frankly it's blinding me. Dave, can't you put in a dimmer switch?
