Right–it was one of those tongue-in-cheek issues, and you definately had to be in the know
to get the running joke. I had forgotten that Paul Pelletier did the art-hah! And what was up with the,
um–”family jewels?”–I love that line (I had to pull that issue out) “Those jewels are affectin your mind! They’re closer to you, and robbing you o the ability to think with anything except you glands.”

That was a good issue of The Incredible Hulk (#412) with the She-Hulk. I loved when Bruce couldn't figure out who Jen was talking to when she addressed the audience. The art on that issue was by Pelletier, same as She-Hulk #5 and #6

There was the issue (that Peter David wrote) where he visited Jen, or Jen visited him (I can’t recall), but PAD was playing with the conventions Byrne had introduced during his run. Jen was constantly talking to the audience while
a bewildered Bruce looked on in worry. It didn’t hurt that they were fighting the “Bi-Beast” which, coupled with
the gay Hector (of the Pantheon) brought a lively subtext into that particular issue (as well as the rest of the
series.

I’m really looking forward to reading the new She-Hulk series–I’ve heard far too many good things about it not too
now, I’m afraid.

I do find myself wondering why She-Hulk is always done as a humor or attempted humor comic and the Hulk is almost always played seriously, even when Peter David was on the book. (I guess the Joe Fixit stuff was kind of funny, but not really all that funny.) Maybe we could get some levity introduced into Banner by having him come visit Jen for a while.

I picked up the two parts of The Big House based upon recommendations here and elsewhere. And I basically like it… it’s fun, endearing stuff.

But I dunno… there’s something about the book’s sense of humor that leaves me amused rather than laughing. I’ve laughed aloud when reading Astonishing or Ultimate FF over the last few months, but the most She-Hulk has elicited was few quick smiles.

Thanks for spotlighting it, though. It may not have me rolling in the aisle, but I like what it *does* accomplish.
