Wally Can't Keep His Shirt On

shankieI was reliving Wally's awful, awful sense of fashion back in the day, and well... it occurred to me that he spends an awful lot of time without many clothes on. For a while there, he was at least half-naked for at least a page an issue. In the interests of keeping this post from being gigantic this is just a selection of panels from the first 50 issues of his series. The art is sometimes iffy, but this was the late 80's early 90's... you know.
It's still kinda huge.
It also includes a few of his girlfriends. And that one-night stand with a shape-shifting alien in Cuba.
The short shorts are a common sight. Mostly he wears his uniform in the books, or business casual when he has to, but... lots of short shorts.
It only takes until #4 to answer the question of boxers or briefs; Cyborg is there to witness.
Then, issue #5. More short shorts. Leaping around in briefs. Being naked in bed with Dr. Tina McGee. She's married, by the way.
In #6, his sex life isn't going so well, but he does get looked over by a creepy doctor.
#7, in which Wally shows how being shirtless is the best way to stay warm in Siberia...
...#9, skinny dipping...
#10, sex with a woman living inside Chunk that gets interrupted later...
I just had to throw that in for the horrible shirt. Man oh man. He looks better without clothes, just in general...
Skip a few, you get the idea. In #21, he's conveniently not wearing anything under what looks to me like a jacket, then has some more casual sex. With an alien who tries to kill him after. While he's hanging out with Fidel Castro.
In #24, he just isn't wearing a shirt. Just because.
That story continues here, with more shirtlessness.
For a while, he mostly manages to keep his clothes on, with a few exceptions. Including an artfully torn uniform in a nightmarish hallucination sequence in #34.
And then there's #36, where he beings a trend of wearing swimming trunks and short shorts all the time.
He just throws an open shirt on over the short-shorts for evening. Heh.
It continues into #37, which also has Linda and Wally first interacting. Hee.
#44. He does yard work in a Speedo and then has... foot washing. And Mason stares at his ass, I swear.
And then we get to #50. A dream sequence produced by an artificial intelligence in his chest...
...that tears off part of his uniform. Later he goes to S.T.A.R. where they help him design a new costume; the really shiny red one.
Since he's got no secret identity for all this, he's again, mostly in his uniform. He has periods of wearing normal clothing that's not butt-ugly, too. Sometimes. And then he'll be naked again.
Well, that was fun. XD
ETA: PhotoBucket decided some of these scans violated their ToS. I really don't see why, and have put them back. They have the borders on them; I'll see if they get deleted again for no reason. Whatever.

What the.
This is the second time they've deleted stuff on me that wasn't actual nudity. ::sigh::
I'll go fix that.

on 2009-05-09 06:23 am (UTC)Maybe this Rudy West was such an ill-mannered bastard because lil Wally ran him ragged with having to chase the little tyke around the neighborhood pre-bath, post bath-and between bath times--Wally tot being one of those little monsters who would not allow a stitch to stay on him unless it was glued on with super glue...which hadn't been invented yet.
Maybe The Streaker would have been a more appropriate name for Wally? 9.9 lalalala
