    If he was the Big E, why did you mark his face "XXX"? And why does that face look like it was drawn by Mike Sekowsky? (Okay, I assume the answer to my first question is that you're just trying to keep me on my toes.)

    I can't even remember the joke I had planned to put there! Now I have to come up with a new one! Now who's keeping who on whose toes?
