They might never have cracked Tarik the Mute's villain-school plot without the assistance of her super-busybodying powers, which she humbly denied having!
The Allons were lucky they had such an observant neighbor!

She was a good conversationalist too! You see how easily she talks to two young men she never met before!
Posted by MLLASH on :
They could have at least offered her membership in the Legion Reserve!

I wonder if she is a descendant of Gladys Kravitz.

How ironic that a blabberpuss would provide a clue to Tarik the Mute's evil plan!
Posted by matlock on :
Something's not right there. She's a little too shapely for a buysbody neighbor. And really, what's up with Ultra Boy being so polite?
On the other hand... Mrs. Perkins' dialogue has more ellipses than one of my posts, so she can't be all bad...

It's like, she took her 2 lines from the script and just RAN with 'em to stretch her role out... and Jim Shooter never yelled, "CUT!!"

I wonder if Elza ever wondered into Metropolis Park and met Myron Marks?

For real! I was waiting for Jo to call her Mrs. Porkins! I guess her kindness and generosity with information struck a tender chord in him!

Were short capes de riguer for daytime wear back then? And is that a guest appearance by Cham as potted plant? Or is Chlorophyll Kid maybe off-panel?
Posted by MLLASH on :
See, the cape always made me think she was a Legionnaire groupie!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Hmm... I wonder if Ms. Perkins got some cushy government job once Marte Allon took over as President.

Elza Perkins is LOVE!!! She deserves to be celebrated over on LW's facebook page!!

In further irony, when the story was reprinted for "Murder in Glass" (BEST OF DC DIGEST #24) some of her lines in the scene were actually cut!

She should get a graemlin!

FC spotted a classic Cham 'secret appearance'!

Each joke that I can think up right now is more tasteless than the last...

The Legion needs to hire Elza Perkins for their security, stat.

The Green Lanterns have dibs on her!

Elza Perkins: GL, would be SO much more awesome than snatching a Legionnaire to serve as GL.
Also, she could go back in time and hang with Kilowog. That would be so cool!

She could at least comfort Sodam Yat, if Myron Marks isn't available.

Elza was also to have a major role in my and EDE's sadly-abandoned MATTER-EATER LAD: THE SERIES Volume 2, as page 4 from issue 1's script clearly shows:
PAGE 4
Panel 1
Caption: Tenzil wraps up his epic tale...
Tenzil: ...well, let's just say, it was the perfect ending to a heavy case, *chuckle*!
woman at table: Excuse me, Mr. Eater-Lad? Hi. I'm Elza Perkins, and may I say it is very nice to meet such a big hero!
Tenzil: Why, thank y--
Panel 2
Elza: Bismoll has been pretty dull since you left.
Tenzil: Oh, I doubt--
Panel 3
Elza: Now one thing I'm not is a busybody, Mr. Eater-Lad.
Tenzil: That's MATTER-eate--
Panel 4
Elza: I'm not a busybody and I don't run my mouth. I don't gossip, Mr. Eater-Lad. You believe me, don't you?
Tenzil: I gue--
Panel 5
Elza: But I can't help but wonder, why aren't you with the Legionnaires now, Mr. Eater-Lad? Did they kick you out? Were you caught in a sex-flap? Oh dear, I hope it wasn't a sex-flap... sex-flaps are so unsavory!
Tenzil: I can assure you there was no sex-fl--
Panel 6
Elza: Well? Everyone's waiting!! Tell us about the sex-flap!
Panel 7
*Tenzil puts his hand over Elza's mouth*
Tenzil: Sentients, I can assure you everything's fine. I just came off a rather long undercover mission, and needed some downtime--
EXPLOSION SOUND EFFECT
Panel 8
Tenzil: What in SPACE--!:?!?
Elza: Your hand smells funny!

She must have some super-breath-holding power to be able to say so much without pausing!
