Marvel Comics Presents – Buffalo – 500 pieces

If you’re wondering whether or not my son picked out this puzzle for me – he did. Of course he did. It was much more challenging than I’d assumed it would be, but it wasn’t too terribly difficult. There was a LOT of red and blue and figuring out which panel they belonged to isn’t as easy as you might think.

The usual good quality Buffalo puzzle, although the fit seemed a little more loose than usual. Otherwise I have no complaints about it at all.

This is a visual representation of what is happening in my menopausal brain when the hormones hit – She-Hulk wants to punch someone. Preferably a man. Not for any particular reason, just existing…or speaking…or breathing. You ladies know how it is. 😇

I love all these nonsense words for when a punch or kick is landed. Btam! Beeyok! Throk! Ftok! Does it remind anyone else of the old Batman tv show from the 60s? (I know, I know – Batman is a DC character, not Marvel – don’t come for me) I remember when they were punching the bad guys that there would be a Kapow! or a Zlonk! or some other ridiculous words on the screen. The tv show was off the air by the time I was born, but I distinctly remember watching it in reruns.

Since I don’t read comic books, this is not the image I think of when you say The Incredible Hulk. The image I have is of Lou Ferrigno from the late 70s tv show. My sisters and I always used to make fun of the fact that he got so much bigger, all except for his waist – his pants never came apart and there was always plenty of fabric to cover the man bits. Ah well, suspension of disbelief was required then I suppose; something I wasn’t usually able to achieve. I’m too logical, and that BS didn’t really work for me.

All in all this was a good quality puzzle with a fun image to assemble. I can’t really ask for much more!
