I gotta get something new

I gotta get something new up here, I can’t keep looking at that horrible pun.  SO: I’m going to rip off the popular media to provide further insight on an issue that’s been getting a lot of attention over at Lunanina’s place:

“WHAT TO WEAR?  Most superheroes go for the nice, tight, form-fitting costume.  We want to show off what we got.  Sometimes a goods set of pectorals strikes fear in the hearts of bad people more than a freaky mask!  Spandex and Lycra are fine materials to make a costume from, and they come in all sorts of neat colors.  Think comfort!  Avoid all that is itchy.  Zippers can sometimes pinch.  Never wear corduroy or snow pants: they make swishy sounds when you walk, making it impossible to sneak up on villains.  Masks are optional, but are handy if you need to protect your secret identity.... Capes are something to consider.  Maybe practice walking around in a cape before you decide whether or not a cape is for you.” from The TICK: Mighty Blue Justice, Boulevard Books, New York, 1997, at 14. 

Please note that this information comes straight from the animated televised Tick, not the lame live action tick or the surreal and wry comix version.  The cartoon was FUNNIER THAN THE SIMPSONS.  There, I said it.
