"Nice weather for fish, don't you think?
I'm SO in tune with the times!"

the Joker?

Well done Quis, got it in one.

It's from Detective Comics 476 - the one with the "Joker Fish"

Your turn.

That's where I thought it came from.


"C'mon in boys... I'm just in th' mood to give ya some trouble! Ya wanna wrassle?"

The Thing?

Nope, but a good guess.

hmmm... hint time: This character was inspired to become a superhero after hearing about another superhero.

Further quote from the character: "Not Tomato"

Kind of sounds like it could be Wildcat.

Kind of sounds like it could, but it isn't.

Deadpool?

Sound like Wildcat (Ted Grant) to me.

Oooh, what a giveaway ... and no one else got it?!?

"Ma" Hunkel, the Golden Age Red Tornado!

It indeed was Ma Hunkle, the Red Tomato..er I mean Tornado.

You are up, Bicycle Repair Man.

Next:

S.1: "Well, thank yer 'boss' -- Mr. Hughes, for me ... I just wish things'd turned out different ...
S.2: "Mr. Who?"
S.1: "Hughes ... Howard Hughes! Y'know -- the big guy you work for!!"

Naming the comic this exchange is from is sufficient, but bonus points if you can name the speakers, and if you know who Speaker 2 really works for.

1: the Rocketeer
2: Betty Page

The Rocketeer is correct, but Betty's not even in the quoted scene.
Speaker 1 is "Peevy"; Speaker 2 is "Monk" Mayfair (who, of course, works for "Doc" Savage).

Over to Kent Shakespeare.

I remembered that HH figured into the Rocketeer story, but I couldn't remember Peevy's name, so I only named the two I could remember.

I'll post something tomorrow.

1: "I don't have busines with Mr. Kelly."
2: "Ah, but Frank Kelly has business with you."

hint: This was from a story that was later made into a movie.

Road to Perdition?

A History of Violence?

Xben has it!

"I don't know her. Never talked to her. Never will. Don't even know her name--our bit out there, it didn't make the papers. But she passes by on her way to school, every day. And I remember that day, twelve years ago. I remember that day. My name is Pete Donacek...I wear a uniform, too."

Obviously, I've given away the name of the character here. Guessing him would really be an obscure bit of trivia. The game here is to guess the series.

Astro City?

Yes, that's it. It's from the first story in the Local Heroes trade.
