Is it time for Parking Karma Kid and Cheesecake Eater Lad to
start pumping iron?! Will the Comics Code Authority save some
of LetterinG MaN's costume from the Flames of Total Nakedness?!
And is Mi-T Big Comix ready for a plaid clad hero?!!!

HELL YEAH GOOD SHIT

<RosterwReam and LetterinG MaN's hands shoot up.>

"Me, _me_, ME, _ME_!" LetterinG MaN said, with enthusiasm.

"No, Me," RosterwReam disagreed, "I'm a real good hero, honest."

I had never realized how many stories he was in before becoming wReamhack.

"I am afraid you're current duties require your attentions here in
LNH-HQ, RosterwReam," the Leader of the Net.Heroes said with a shake
of his head. "No, it seems I am forced to send you, LetterinG MaN.
It is your book, anyway."

Heeheehee

<LetterinG MaN materializes in the midst of a very large crowd.
Everyone is talking at once making it very difficult to figure out
what was going on.>

Oooooh, good establishing moment.

I cant read this :(

<The fire passes to reveal a LetterinG MaN devoid of costume except in
those places designated as Necessary Costume Spots For Male Anatomies
by the Comics Code Authority.>

heeheehee

"AHA!" he thought, "I _have_ it!" Speaking in a soft, reasonable tone,
LetterinG MaN said "_No one_ will LIKE you, if you keep this UP!" in
small, inoffensive letters.

******************************LetterinG MaN************************************

<The netter tries his sheild again, but the letters seep right through
and pierce his heart.>

shot through the heart and youre to blame

"Oooofff," the recent addition to net.land emitted as the letters'
meaning sunk in.

Okay, I like the idea of what this is doing, at least.

heh yea

"THERE, there," LetterinG MaN said, "WE were _all_ newbies, once!"

"But it was my first post, ever," the disillusioned lad sobbed. "I
just didn't know what the problem was!"

And especially this part.

"WHY don't YOU go to _alt.comics.lnh_?" LetterinG MaN suggested. "It's
_sure_ to CHEER you up, and _most_ of the POSTERS are _real nice_,
too!"

awwwwww :> <3

are there posts in alt.comics.lnh? i dont think im subbed to it

<Here be ads!>

******************************LetterinG MaN************************************

The abstract idea of ads...

oh dang i have an adblocker

"I
really think you should talk to her."

<The two heroes sit down on a nearby bench.>

"How can I?" Cheesecake-Eater Lad complained, "Looking like this? And
her looking like every fan-boy's dream-come-true? She wouldn't say a
word to me."

I like the basic idea of this, too, the fact that this is completely a one-sided insecurity.

can relate

[The costume you have provided is not acceptable in Mi-T Big Comix;
we do not allow plaid-clad heroes here--Bert.]

Bah! Humbug!

<LetterinG MaN springs through the door, to assume a heroic stance in
the foreground, the two female net.heroes seen behind him. He is
dressed in blue spandex with a red cape, that flows out behind him
despite the total absence of wind. There is a big, red LM intetwined
on his chest, in the center of a large, yellow circle.>

I like how much description there is in this series - a rarity for early LNH. X>

"NOW I can _CONTINUE_ my crusade against CRIME," he said with a smile.

[Actually, you'll have to wait for the next issue--Bert]

"oh," LetterinG MaN said and waited for the reader to close the book.

heeheehee
