Super-Pet Abuse!
Yes you can't escape sadness and pet abuse in comics. Or sexism. Or discrimination against fat people. All of these can be found in Legion comics. For example in the Adventure Comics issue with the Monster Master (or something like that) the Legion says that Bouncing Boy has to stay behind because Saturn Girl is female and will need protection. As they fly away Braniac Five says, "He's jolly and we like him, but his super bouncing power wouldn't do much in this situation." And the Super-Pets! The poor Super-Pets! There have been statements towards them such as, "The Super Pets want to go, but we can't be bothered with them," and "Quit it and changer back to normal Proty! That's an order!" And don't forget about the time Command Kid used smashing Proty I's memorial as a test for membership. And the time Chamelion Boy berated Proty I for playing with the superpets by becoming a diamond. It's no wonder the Protians stood up for their rights in the 2980's, and the Super Pets revolted in a later issue of Adventure Comics! I'm not even going into those two.

The look here changes and changes I liked the basic black lookit suited the whole space martian man thing.
Or is the changing of looks all the time give a hint to the changing nature of the martian abilities to shape shift. Or is this just a mood shift.
By the way I've finally got to chapter 6 in the serial.

Proty's a shape-changing blob.
I'm the latest in a series of blog layout shutdowns (the absorbascon's happened the day before mine) and you should both watch out.

Of course the Super Pets are going to be full of angst. In fact, their comics might just be the heaviest in the industry. They're just pets! They are kept in their 'master's' home without any rights of their own. Their only compensation is food. They have to do what their told or they get punished. It's really a step-below slavery.

You have some good ideas going there. Either I can follow up on them or (preferably) you can by making an account and emailing me at beadtest@verizon.net (my latest email account).
