The full history of Daffy, according to the DC Wiki:
Daffy Dill came from Kookasow, Iowa, where she was a champion hog-caller. She met Deke (Oxford) Parsons, who guided her career in the promising field of Women's Wrestling. Due to Deke's habitual chicanery, they led complicated but exciting lives, in mid-20th-century American show business.
Daffy was basically a humor strip about a muscled woman, lasting from Smash #41 to #85, a very respectable run considering that #85 was the last issue of Smash anyway. And apparently, weird stuff like this happened in it. Look, Quality Comics had to have SOMEthing to compete with Wonder Woman in terms of the odd artist's kinks/female empowerment combo comix.
Hmm. The Ronda Rousey or Gina Carano of Golden Age comics. I see her appeal. The centaur makes it weird, though. - CE
ReplyDeleteIf you want "centaur" and "weird" look up Speed Centaur from the Golden Age.
DeleteEh. I'm sure Supergirl's okay with it.
ReplyDelete"Centaur of attraction" is some wonderful wordplay, but wouldn't "attention" read better today? Weird example of linguistic drift on display?
Center of attraction would be more of a physics term, right?
