Condorfan was nice enough to send me a copy of the BOTP Gold Key Comic books digest. I was flipping through it this evening, and one page in particular caught my eye... It's like they were channeling us! And I LOVE the flip-up visors!!!!

Mark Mark!!! Where was this when I had trouble with visors getting in the way of kissing scenes!!!

Teehee...this is AWESOME! The flip top visors crack me up!

HHhhmmm, I wonder, we don't see the team eating and drinking when wearing their uniforms on, but this comic proves that they could in effect eat and drink with their uniforms on.

Princess has never kissed Mark before? Or maybe he's referring to her use of the visors' never-before-seen flip-up capability. I love that poor robot Princess manages to fall for Mark, kiss him, betray her creator for the sake of a handsome face, and die, all in just five panels! Even cyborg Lucy didn't work that fast! And look at the lizard people in the first panel -at last, G-Force visits a planet where not everyone is human!

You are most welcome TJ! Even though they didn't show it in the BOTP or Gatchaman series I would think the visors would have flip up capability. What if they needed to use bionoculars? Although I was watching a Gatch II episode last night where Ryu was eating a piece of fish through his visor!

Yes, poor Princess has never kissed Mark. Oh, the tragedy!!!! I feel the need to rectify that with a fic.... Oh wait, I already have... a few times! LB, you nailed exactly why I'm dying over this page! It's all ONE page! And did you notice that Mark's visor flips up too? And yes, Condorfan, the eating through the visor thing had me in that episode too! Ryu's visor goes straight down, so you can't even pretend that he could slip anything under it (maybe a straw). I put a screenshot of that in my writeup of the ER version of that ep.

Hi all!

HHhhmmm, I wonder, we don't see the team eating and drinking when wearing their uniforms on, but this comic proves that they could in effect eat and drink with their uniforms on.

We do get to see them eat and drink in Bird Style a few times. Here are some examples: From episode #61; No, I don't know what happened to his gloves. He had them on in the shot before this one... From episode #77; And from the longest dining scene in the series, from episode #96; And if you think Ryu eating fish through his visor is bad, how about him spitting on his hand through his visor! Yuck!

What if they needed to use bionoculars?

They can do that through their visors, as this example from Gatchaman Fighter #3 shows: In Gatchaman II #45, we are shown that the visors on the helmets of their spacesuits can be raised in order to use binoculars, as seen here: This particular feature is never shown on the helmets of their regular uniforms.

When I looked at the picture of Joe eating the noodles I began to wonder if he missed and smeared it on the visor.....I could hear the cursing from here.

I remember the spaghetti episode. I always laughed at the idea of them eating something so messy in Birdstyle! I think it's only polite to drink tea with your gloves off. Ken must be abiding by the rules of ettiquette? Thanks for the pics, James! Those are great! I'll add my picture of Ryu eating through his visor...

Seems like that page from the comic would also be a fun one to re-caption. Looking at the images alone, we have Princess kissing Mark and then keeling over dead. What kind of Chapstick has he been using?!

Not only that, Mark doesn't seem too distressed by the fact that she keeled over dead! This reminds me of one of those 70s Bond movies... the female spy had special poison on her lips, so that when someone kissed her he died.

Yeah that unfeeling bastard!!! Well thats what I thought when I read it, and he didn't go much on the kiss either. Wait until Princess finds out!!!

Okay, I did this fast, off the top of my head...

Oh, LB, that ROCKS!!!!! I am

LB, that was so funny! You have us down perfectly! Thanks James for the pictures and the information. I would suppose that the visor flip up capability came with Gatchaman II and F--an improvement by Dr. Nambu no doubt. (Although in Gatch episode #96 it is funny to hear Joe slurp his spaghetti!)

Oh you guys have me cracking up here! LB, that is PERFECT! And Condorfan- I listen for the "slurp" every time I watch that episode! I wasn't sure I had heard it at first, so I replayed it...and sure enough, Joe is slurping!

ROTFL!!!!! Poor Mark! But then i think Jason's the one who's going to score!

lborgia you are awesome... I like how Mark is still clueless after the kiss and fainting... there's no hope for that boy...

Maybe TJ will post another page that we can re-caption into a follow-up to this page!

Let me see what I can find!!!!!

Okay, this is the page BEFORE the Mark/Princess one. See how she's treating poor Jason? Although, it is ROBOT Jason...

More robots? I will see what I can think up for captions. Everyone else try too!

Okay, I tried to make this page into a follow-up...

OMG! LB...you are hilarious! This is great!! I am cracking up over Jason's last comment!

These are great.

LB, you ROCK!!!!! OMG, I am laughing so hard... just what I needed before a long day at work!!!!! Now I need to find some more 'interesting' ones for you to caption...

Well, I will try to keep coming up with "re-caption" ideas. I'm glad you guys were amused!

I'm dying here!!! You guys are too funny!!
