She didn’t say it was a positive RSVP. Do Batman’s polite refusals look an awful lot like Bruce Wayne’s gracious acceptances to you? Alfred must be moonlighting.
For your party-planning reference:
Eskimo’s Three Favorite People (present moment):
1. Calico Jack Rackham
2. Captain Scott
3. Boadicea
Lance’s Three Favorite People (in this order):
1. Lance
2. Jesus
3. Eskimo
FYI, I’m trying to stick to the Tuesday/Thursday schedule these days, but a special bonus comic (the cover of this storyline) will occur on Sunday. See you then!
