Not Yeti Friday - Shaggy Man

Shaggy Man! ...DC supervillain... Where have you been all my life?! 

I swear, it's as if you just sort of appeared out of nowhere. I've never heard of you.


Yet you've been around all along... 1966. Fighting the Justice League/Super Friends.



I don't entirely understand your origin, Shaggy Man.

A scientist invented a synthetic human tissue ostensibly for organ transplants but decided to test it out by splicing it with DNA of different animals.  He accidentally made you and you went on a mindless rampage. Your salamander DNA means a mass separated from you just regenerates into another you.  And you can grow real big. So you're very hard to kill.



My main question is, what's with all the hair?










Pity the Shaggy Man.

[Destination: Peru] Backus Ice Beer Ad


This just in: A new commercial in Peru for Backus Ice depicts a Yeti discovering the beverage buried in ice. Upon imbibing, he is transported to a human dance party, where he participates in various enjoyable activities.  Upon realizing it was merely a vision brought on by the magic alcohol, the Yeti packs up his possessions and moves from the Himalayas to Peru, where presumably the enjoyable activities can be engaged in more frequently.

All to the sound of Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby".



Note: Backus is the largest brewery in Peru.
