I still hate it when that happens

I told you last week that as I was flipping through some of Irene’s old comics, one thought kept going through my mind at the sight of the anxiety-producing situations on the covers of Strange Adventures—

I hate it when that happens!

And as I continued looking at the covers of other DC Comics anthology titles—such as House of Mystery, Tales of the Unexpected, Mystery in Space, and My Greatest Adventure—the phrase continued to repeat in my mind …

(And yes, I know, perhaps these images would be best gathered in a Tumblr … but as I explained before, ihateitwhenthathappens has already been taken. So until and unless the user tires of the url, this will have to do.)
