This is one of those stories that really stands out when I'm browsing through the old back-issues; it's got some great Barry and Ralph camaraderie (and cuteness) not to mention aliens that enjoy fishing for people (literally) and Ralph & Sue, newlyweds It's great.

The Flash #209, in which Barry is on a mission to rescue his buddy Ralph.





Barry is rocking that fedora. It's one of my favourite things about old books. :D







Alright, seriously, what the fuck? As we see in a sec, these are air-breathing land-dwelling aliens, capturing other air-breathing land-dwelling creatures... and once they're subdued they're throwing into a giant fish bowl? The only conclusion is: these are some hardcore anglers that are doing it for the hell of it.

Also, that Editor's Note seems really unnecessary.



...uh. Why is Barry telling the Bredan all about why he's there? Obviously they're not going to help and they just treated him like carp.





Yay for tickling saving the day! :D

I want to know why Barry knows Ralph reacts that way when tickled now. XD

So with Ralph's help, but incite an uprising of the kotas and building materials are thrown around...





Have I mentioned really loving this art? Because I so do. :D



Group hug! XD



Yes, I am reading that last panel in the dirtiest way possible. It's not hard. ::laughs::

In #210, Barry and Iris go to the future, where Robot John Wilkes Booth plays deadly bondage games with Barry while Robot Lincoln wrestles the bad guy until he says "uncle." Ralph and Sue have a better time; the phrase "Sue, hand me that half-eaten magazine" is involved. So it's always kinda like this. XD
