Do I detect some possibly-blowing-my-very-fragile-secret-identity running around in civilian clothes in one of those panels? A secret identity is such a terrible thing to lose (over and over again)... Cool

As an urban singer used to say..."Que no cunda el páa-ni-coo", that is, don't surrender to panic.

This is just a preview with no text. Lord knows what the characters are actually saying, and to me, the only people aware in the scene about Matt's secret ID are the ones that already know about it... (Notice that Matt still moves out of the scene -in search of a phone booth or the men's room- with the white cane in his hands, and the people around doesn't seem to take notice about him, except Fogs and Dakota)

I bet something that Matt will be excused to whatever appointment he appears to have ("Mr. Murdock didn't feel too well", etc...), and knowing previous developments, maybe just as well Matt is somewhere else kicking super baddies' asses, as we have seen that he is in no mood to behave civil in court, and this may be bad for the trial.

Suddenly I'm thinking that the "Indian food defense" we discussed about a week ago might fit nicely here... Wink

Laughing Laughing Wink

Yes, that might be a good one.

BTW, I just imagine Foggy saying something in the lines of "go for 'em, cowboy" in one of the pannels.

Speaking of what people are saying, it's always kind of funny to imagine what they might be saying (as you did below). Here's one (less than) likely dialogue:

Foggy: Nice suit. (snickers)
Matt: What about it?
Foggy: I thought you gave all your old Mike Murdock suits to the Salvation Army.
Matt: What do you mean? I bought this last year.
Foggy: I don't know how to tell you this, but that's one of your pink checkered suits from way back when you pretended to be your own twin. You know, the first time you went off the deep end...
Matt: Holy *beep*. I've got to get me one of those talking color detectors!

Matt then runs away in shame to go change... Wink

Bwah-Hah-Hah! RMLAO!! Laughing

Hey!, who needs the actual dialogues? Wink

If I weren't in the middle of supper, & about to go to work, I'd think some dialogue for the Dakota pannels

I got to try out one of those talking color detectors a couple of weeks ago, and they can be so very wrong! It read the white tablecloth just fine, but try it on anything that is a print, and it will make something up. It might have been close about half the time on solid color things. Another reason for a trustworthy friend and well-affixed braille tags!

Wow, are they really that bad? Shocked That surprises me since the idea itself is pretty simple. Hmmm... You'd think it would just admit it if it got some input it couldn't decipher rather than make something up. Did you try several different models? I'm curious to know (my inner scientist is acting up again) since it just seems like one of those things that really should work.

How do they work, exactly? I'm doing a color-measurement course for printing and the colorimeters & densitometers (or spectrodensitometers) are usually quite accurate, whereas you'r etaking a sample from paper, monitor, piece of cloth... or the "temperature" (in Kelvin º ) of the light around you. They are quite versatile and reliable

... I suppose that these color detectors must work with a different technique?

Now, my own take at the non-text preview (Not as good as Christine's, alas):

Dakota: (on the phone) Yes... yes, but... No... just the evening, aww, come on!... Yes, I see...aha... aha

Matt: (mutters to himself) Nerts!

Foggy: Uh, Matt... Anything wrong?

Dakota: (on the phone) Yes, I understand. OK. Bye! (to Matt & Foggy) Bad news boys! Danny can't join us this evening: he's got Ikebana class and wouldn't skip it for worlds.

Matt: And what about Luke? I thought he'd be keen on our Beer & Bowling evening outing.

Dakota: No way. Today is Jessica's shopping day and Luke's serving in the diaper changing shift.

Matt: D'Oh

Foggy: (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Ah! Marriage will do that to you, eh Matty?

Matt: tut-tut! you're sour cause you're "Le Guy Divorcé"

Foggy: ... Whatever! Anyway, what do you think about an alternate plan? Just us three, a deck of French cards, some Scotch, Havana cigars, high stakes...

Matt: Fine for me! I just feel like playing a bit of Strip Poker!

Laughing That was hilarious! Although the marriage and children remark might be just a tad inappropriate, I suppose (considering her current *ahem* situation...). Although these little dialogues are a litte out of continuity anyway right, so what the heck! And I bet Matt is just the guy to enjoy strip poker (well, sort of):

Matt: Well, Dakota. You may think that I can't tell the difference, but with all your clothes off, you smell decidedly more naked.
Dakota: You don't look so bad yourself.
Matt: So, in the spirit of "equal access" and all that, do you mind if I take a closer look?
Dakota: What do you mean?
Matt: Well, I have some idea of your, shall we say, "physique," but I was thinking of a more tactile approach. Something a little more detailed...
Dakota: What are you saying exactly?
Foggy: I think that means he wants to touch you, Dakota. He's been pulling that "touchy feely" routine since college.
Dakota: Oh, why the heck not?

Of course, after Dakota sobers up and comes to her senses she slams them with a sexual harassment suit that puts them out of business. Oh, and Milla leaves Matt for the second time (assuming they can get her off). After nine months she shows up with a baby that she dumps on Matt's door step. Of course, it turns out that it's not his, but that she's been impregnated by Mr Fear with something he's stolen from one of the freezers at Xavier's School for the Gifted. Or something like that...

Of course. This is not a dialogue they would have with poor Milla's current situation. Let's just say it happens in an universe where everything's fine and Milla's out for a few days to visit her parents

"touchy feely routine" LOL

For some reason, I imagine Dakota being a good drinker, and perfectly capable to outdrink both guys (specially bearing in mind Matt's sensitiveness: he probably doesn't abuse alcohol, usually). To me it's more probable to have Matt & Fogs bringing charges against Dakota cause "she took advantage of them"... except that they would probably remember nothing about that evening (or pretend to! Wink ) and have an 'orrible hangover.

The mind boggles! You just not only have recreated the Maggie/ Jack scenario, but made a crossover with the Mutant Messiah saga! Shocked

(That's what happens when one waits too much for one's DD issues to come out: one week more and we'll have turned the series into a space opera! Laughing )

Yeah, I have a hard time picturing Matt being really drunk, mainly because I think it would seriously screw with his senses. Dakota, on the other hand... I agree with you on that one.

Yeah, I'm that good... Cool No, seriously, I was kind of thinking of Matt having to do a repeat of what his father did. Except it wouldn't even be his kid. Although, I wonder if actually having Milla get pregnant would be a possible future scenario. I'm not sure what I'd think about it, but I suppose it's a possibility.

Yeah, and who even needs drugs to do it? We can totally take this to outer space and back. Though I have to admit that I like that DD is not an outer space kind of superhero. Smile
