Here is another panel from Daredevil #12, suggested a while back by fellow DD fan Francesco (*waves*). This panel is funny for a couple of reasons… First of all, shouldn’t DD get his priorities straight? He approaching an island with a giant skull taking up roughly eighty percent of the surface. The island, as you’ll see, is appropriately named Skull Island. Whatever surface isn’t covered by a gigantic skull is set ablaze. Rather than concentrating on the more immediate issues, Daredevil comments on the type of vegetation present. Again, aren’t all the plants burning at this point?

I’m sure Matt can sense vegetation. He can smell it, there’s probably some pollen in the air, the rustling of leaves… One thing we know for certain, however, is that he wasn’t around millions of years ago. Heck, this is even one of those times where I’d be inclined to say that he would be in a better position to make the absurd claim seen below if he could see. That is, compare what he would then be seeing on the island with a drawing showing a reconstruction of old plants (based on the available fossil record). Nope, this is certainly wacky…

“… as though I’ve been transported to the dawn of time.” Well, DD you obviously must have been at some time. How else would you know what those plants are? Here’s an idea though: maybe some of the plants contain hallucinogens that when burning produces smoke, which…Yeah, you get my drift.
