Funny / Swamp Thing

• During the story arc of Swamp Thing seizing control of Gotham to get the authorities to free Abby from prison, Batman has to explain to the mayor of Gotham that insisting on Interspecies Romance being illegal is somewhat ridiculous, concerning the fact how many aliens and other beings that aren't exactly human run around on Earth. Especially funny because of the incredibly snarky way it was delivered by Batman.
  Batman: No exceptions, I see. In that case I suggest you start rounding up all the other non-human beings who may be having relationships outside their species.
  Mayor: What? What do you mean?
  Batman: I mean, if you want to take this all the way, non-humanity doesn't end with the Swamp Thing. Let me see... You'll possibly have to arrest Hawkman... And Metamorpho... And there's also Starfire, from the Titans. Her race evolved from cats, I believe... The Martian Manhunter, obviously... Captain Atom... And then of course there's What's-His-Name... The one who lives in Metropolis.
  Mayor: *gapes*

• In the Black Orchid miniseries, Black Orchid, who is also a plant being, shows up looking for assistance. Swamp Thing gives her seeds that she can use to make more sister-selves, and after she's gone Abby wanders into the scene:
  Abby: Alec? Who was that?
  Swamp Thing: She was...is...an old friend...of an old friend. I was giving her...babies.
  Abby: Uh. Right. Y'know, Alec, I, uh, I think we're going to have to have a talk about this...

• In Issue #44, Swamp Thing visits Abby at her house, and arrives by coming up through the sink. Before he leaves the bathroom, she lays down newspapers for him to walk on so he doesn't ruin the new carpet.
• Swamp Thing, after being seemingly destroyed, ends up wandering space as he searches for a way to recreate himself on Earth. He meets Adam Strange on Rann, and asks him to give Abby a message when he's next on Earth. Adam does so, and Abby is overjoyed to hear Swamp Thing is still alive. But when she asks where Adam saw him, and Adam goes into his spiel about traveling to Rann on Zeta Beams, Abby's face falls and she says, "Well, you just call up Scotty on your communicator..." (In all fairness, Adam's life would sound pretty insane to a normal person.)
  • The scene also leads to this dialogue between Adam and New-Age Retro Hippie Chester:
    Adam: But you don't understand. I've been doing this for years now. There's a flash of light. And I'm on another planet.
    Chester: Yeah... Yeah, I sometimes get that.
• Issue #63 sees Metron and Swamp Thing entering into an Aleph, and Metron experiences all existence at once: He sees all sunlight reflected into all oceans, each microbe in a glass of water, the Dreaming... And then we get this:
  Metron: * Completely deadpan * I played tight end for the Forty-Niners in last year's Superbowl.
