It's in the era after Ma and Pa Kent took the "youth serum", so their issues were even greater than packing on a few pounds. I guess DC wanted them to be the "Swingers of Smallville" or something...<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-47576854061273218802010-03-09T01:29:41.020-06:002010-03-09T01:29:41.020-06:00I missed about a year's worth of Avengers arou...I missed about a year's worth of Avengers around this time for some reason, and picked up these issues some time later. Call me finicky, but one thing that annoyed me about these stories was one particular feature - the chubbification of Jarvis! He'd always been shown to be a fairly svelte chap previously - someone somewhere might have thought it made him too Alfredlike, but you can see in the panel you've provided that his face started filling out, and by #200 he was definitely packing the extra pounds. It just wasn't cricket!<br /><br />cheers<br />B Smith<br /><br />PS have to admit I never really warmed to Shooter's scripting, either - I was raised on a diet of Thomas and Englehart, after which Shooter seemed contrived.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
