"The Hulk's out colder than a well-digger's ascot!"

 

Worst. Metaphor. Ever.

 

Good gravy, I thought you made that metaphor up but no, it's there.

 

Would it sound better if.....colder than a gold-digger's ascot?

 

I can see what the writer was attempting to do, which was to make a family-friendly version of the old adage 'colder than a well-digger's arse'. However, if you don't already have that phrase in your personal lexicon, that caption makes zero sense. Making a bad homophone out of a word doesn't make it any better. If he were describing how hot something was, that writer probably would have said "It's hotter than two rats funneling in a wool sock!"

Definitely a FACTORY MISCUT! rantrant You can see at the bottom right corner that there is "extra paper" that wasn't cut out. Surprised to see a miscut book graded as a 9.9. Isn't there a grade limit to grading a miscut? (shrug) I understand that CGC does not mark down on factory defects like that, but a 9.9 for that!?! You can't even get a PSA graded 9 card if the card were not close to perfectly centered
