Don't Give Thunderbolt Ross The Marvel Chess Set!!
General Ross has had a bit of a nervous breakdown, so he's recovering off in a cabin in the woods somewhere...
He's not alone...Doc Samson, world's worst psychiatrist, is there to help him back to mental health!!
But then some idiot turned on the radio!!
Oops.
Geez...you should have gotten the Star Wars chess set instead, Doc!!
And by the way...
If one "mere mention" of the Hulk can undo "weeks" of your therapy, well, maybe your therapy kinda sucks. Can't the Defense Department health plan afford a competent psychiatrist?!?

Friday Night Fights--Mild Headache Style!!
Quick and dirty for this week's Friday Night Fights.
It's a typical Marvel Team-Up story, with way too much stuff going on for a one-off story, including A.I.M., a pathetic revenge plan by the Rhino, a woman called Delilah whom Doc Samson falls in love with and (what a surprise) she betrays him, etc.
So let's just cut to the good stuff, with Samson taking out Ol' Hornhead:
WHAMM!
Spacebooger notes that's why you probably shouldn't have a horn on your costume...
Abuse of minor villains is from Marvel Team-Up #102 (1981), by Mike W. Barr, Frank Springer, and Mike Esposito
Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Ummm...I working on it, I'm working on it. Now go and vote!!

Damning With Faint Praise!
Presenting...
The "World's Strongest Psychiatrist"?
I mean, not taking anything away from Len, and definitely not trashing psychiatrists...but that's a pretty low bar, right?
It's akin to describing Superman as "The World's Strongest Reporter." Well, sure, doubtless true--but not exactly evocative of the true power level.
Flash--The World's Fastest Crime Lab Tech!
OK, I'll stop now.

Friday Night Fights--Believe Your Eyes Style!!
It's the championship round of Friday Night Fights, and our Master Of Mayhem Spacebooger has enacted a special rule:
"a fight scene featuring a fight where the loser 'never saw it coming': The final blow should take place either off panel or by surprise to win the championship."
Yeah, I got that.
Doc Samson has got it into his head once again try try to cure the Hulk--aww, that trick never works!!
Well, Samson find the Hulk in the desert, but Jade Jaws beats the stuffing out of him.
Fortunately, while Samson is recovering...
HUH!?!
Uh-oh....
Spacebooger wishes his hair were as thick and luxurious as Doc Samson's...
The bone-rattling, gravity-defying, hand-crunching final blow is from Incredible Hulk #314 (1985), brought to us by John Byrne, John Byrne and Bob Wiacek.
Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Because I crave the prize for winning this week. So go and vote, dagnabbit!!

Friday Night Fights--Over The Top Style!!
Yeah, I've used Hulk before this bout of Friday Night Fights--sue me. Anyway, this is one of the odder Hulk battles, as he takes on his foe in comics' greatest crushing handshake battle!!
This time we're going a little farther in the Wayback Machine.
Leonard Samson, in his first appearance, has just managed to drain away all of the Hulk's gamma energy, permanently reverting him to Bruce Banner. But, like all comic book scientists, he's an idiot, and uses that same gamma energy to turn himself into...Doc Samson!! And then he tries to make time with Betty Ross!! The cad!!
So, of course, when the "permanent" de-Hulkification of Banner goes as well as it ever does...
So, yeah, it's on.
So now it's on...wrasslin' style!!
Now we're down to just one hand each...
Spoiler alert: he doesn't say it, but only because Betty interrupts.
Lesson--if you don't don't want your anatomy grossly contorted, don't shake hands with the Hulk!!
Just so you know, Spacebooger is trying to produce a remake of the greatest arm wrestling movie ever, Over The Top, with Hulk as the star!!
Roy Thomas, Herb Trimpe and John Severin show the Hulk defeating one of strongest dudes with just one hand in Marvel'sIncredible Hulk #141 (1971).
Now, you probably should hop over to Spacebooger's House Of Pain and vote for me this week...or Hulk might come around wanting to shake YOUR hand. You have been warned.
