**** My point about Barda's costume is that it was designed by one person, looked over by the editors, and she got stuck with it. You can blame Barda's original artist for designing the costume, but once the character changes hands the new artist has an obligation to stick with it. It'd be stupid for Linkara to complain about the costume in a book when it's not the artist's fault they have to draw it that way, the same way you can't blame anyone but Harry G. Peter for Wonder Woman's costume. All artists since the original are stuck with it until editors say otherwise, regardless of their views.

*** Maybe my mind was just inflating how many times he does it... as for Big Barda - she ''was'' drawn by the original artist to be sexy.

*** Not quite. At the end of that episode (Lunat!k #1) there's a card that says "What was Linkara doing in Molossia? Watch "Kickassia" to find out!" IIRC Linkara's vacation was supposed to be three months, and Kickassia takes place over the course of a week (I think). He was at home at the start of Kickassia because his vacation wasn't a huge, around the world trip, it was just a quiet period at home without having to read stupid comics.

** Actually, yes it is the point. Insano's MultipleChoicePast is derived from RuleOfFunny. And Linkara's hatred of continuity errors stems from CharacterDerailment. Insano's past changing every episode is his defining character trait (outside of insanity) so it isn't out of character for his origins to change every appearance.
