Many of you have let me know that some of my image pairings & arrangements pop up in other venues such as Facebook Swipe groups (esp. the great COMICS SWIPES Facebook group). Well, I'm flattered the posts are popular and that people enjoy PANELOCITY's swipes and "inspired bys", regardless of where they are presented. After all, the Internet is meant for sharing, right?

Fantastic Four #144 (Pt 2) Seek and Ye Shall Find...Triton!

In this panel from Fantastic Four #144 (1974), the green, scaly guy lying on the ground in a puddle of water is the Seeker, one of Dr. Doom's androids.

Hmmm, doesn't the Seeker remind you of everyone's favorite aquatic Inhuman? Well, as you can see the panel above is reminiscent of this panel from 1967's FF #63 featuring none other than Triton.

Connections...or as a professor of mine put it "the wheels within wheels": earlier on there was a different Seeker who appeared back in FF #46 (1966) during the first Inhumans arc. That Seeker was one of the "evil" Inhumans who worked with Maximus and was in hot pursuit of one of Black Bolt's "good" Inhumans, namely--you guessed it--Triton. :)
