FF experts - It's Clobberin TIme Count 44 - 67

[mtlevy]

A challenge for the FF experts...

 

How many times did the Thing say "It's Clobbering Time" during the Kirby/Sinnot run on the FF when they were working Twice Up

 

This started at #44 and went to #67...so only 24 issues

 

Thanks!

Why only in these issues?

[mtlevy]

Happy if someone wants to do more...but those issues are the ones relevant to me as I have a page that fits this bill available...want to know how rare it is

[vaillant]

Ah, I see.

 

Well, quite common I suppose, as it’s his usual phrase.

[Drummy]

I'm going to guess about a dozen times.

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be), the Thing says, "it's clobberin time" and I believe it was the She-hulk who said,"it's clobbering time" when she replaced the Thing late in the Byrne run.

I am going to guess a dozen or so as well.

Since 44-67 is 24 issues inclusive, I'm going to say about once per issue, minus a few issues, so my guess is about 20 times.

I'm reading parts of my FF longbox right now, so I'll have the answer in a couple days

[Unca Ben]

Addendum: I'm actually reading the FF issues starting with issue 44, but for a different reason (not to count how many times the Thing says it's clobberin' time).

 

If I find out what it is I think I remember, I'll comment about it on here, it may be of interest to those who like FF minutiae.

Sounds like fun - please keep count for posterity!

That was the same logic I used. 20 seems about right.

 

How many times does Johnny say "Flame on"?

[mtlevy]

Anyone know the actual answer

Bump

Just buy the third Essentials volume and start counting!

[mtlevy]

Certainly an option but I was hoping someone on the boards would do it for me...

You are a man of the world. Give yourself a pat on the back for this.

[mtlevy]

Thanks

 

6 "It's Clobberin Times" in 10 issues

 

So 44 - 67 is 24 issues thus estimate is currently 6 + 6 + 3 = 15

 

Would still love to know the actuals...please keep reading!

Thirteen.
