I found this little comic series on DeviantArt. It is so adorable and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

Booster is Ted's Rose. <3

And proof that Babs wanted to hit that.

Well Booster can't be Jack. Jack's been known to orgasm over cosmic surfboards.

From:

They're both from the future, they're both dapper rogues who stole time travel tech for their own ends and ended up using it to save the world, they're both vain... good heavens. Booster IS Jack.

Given my incomplete knowledge of the JLI, I can't think of a Rose analogue.

From:

crabby_lioness

Yeah, but Jack's a geek. And whereas Jack will hit on anything, Fire was convinced Booster wouldn't hit on enough (i.e. her).

I think the old JLA had a blonde teenage boy hanging around at one point. Don't quote me on that though.

From:

Snapper Carr, who I think had brown hair.

And he'd be more akin to Adam Mitchell, since he was also kicked out for being an asshat.

Still, Doc and Ted are adorable together.

Booster's not as dumb or shallow as everyone thinks he is. *mutter*

From:

crabby_lioness

I never said he was. He plays an airhead deliberately. But he's still, by his own admission, not a geek.

From:

theanswer

But he's blonde and a jock. <_<;

From:

crinos

Also: We can see Booster trying to hit on Rose in the background of the first scan (to Ted and the Doctors mutual annoyance in later pages).

Guy Gardner. No two ways about it.

Dapper?

Booster's a lot of things, several of them being big golden wonderful happymaking FUN things, but dapper!?

Also, there are things Booster would not have sex with. There are people Jack would not have sex with. These statements are not the same.

weezus

way to keep classy there, Dinah.

From:

espanolbot

Barbara admitted that she did later in the issue though, I think.

From:

mullon

Someone really needs to post scans of that.

From:

sailorlibra

It was posted as part of this post, along with the rest of Babs and Ted's history together.

From:

howeverimprobable

"All right. Maybe we cyber-did it a little." So good. XD

From:

nezchan

Bah, they didn't, so much as she hacked into his and Booster's chat logs.

At least, that's how it happened in my happy place.

From:

jelly_ace

I think someone already did, on IJ.

From:

weezus

oh, i have the issue, i meant the way she's crouched down when talking to Sin, legs open in a dress called for a strategically placed hand :P

From:

angelophile

There's facing a gravestone. Who's going to see?

From:

weezus

Us! The Reeaders! :P

No, I see what you mean, I think I'd still be a little conscious of it though if it were me.

From:

nezchan

And nobody's mentioned the fact that they flash back to Ted in the most awe inspiring butt shot he's ever had?

For shame, SD, FOR SHAME!

From:

timemonkey

That' beause we're oo busy looking at it. The fact that you could do so and stll be coherant enough to scold us is disappointing.

From:

nezchan

Who said I was coherent? Plus, I can touch-type.

From:

nezchan

Off-topic, but your icon makes me laugh SO bad, since it's so close to an in-joke my friend and I have about the Spirou series.

There's huge parallels, too. Spirou, like Ted, is the smarter of the pair and likes going on adventures. He's also massively resourceful. Fantasio is like Booster, flamboyant, fun-loving, prone to wild schemes, but still able to pull out some amazing feats when the situation gets serious.

So what your icon reminded me of was this speculation of the two of them sitting on a sofa, watching TV, when Fantasio just totally deadpan and without even glancing away from the screen says, "I named it Justice." The response would be a beat for that to sink in, then Spirou facepalm.

I can totally see the same sort of situation with Ted/Booster.

goblinthebamf

oh man, that's such an awesome comic. I think I've seen that artist's work before, but I'm not sure. in any case... *bookmarks*

From:

pyrotwilight

I miss Sin, also, Ted.

And Babs is looking HOT here.

From:

theanswer

I know! I started doing my hair like Babs because of Birds of Prey. I want Gail Simone to sign my wheelchair.

From:

pyrotwilight

You're in a wheelchair? Sorry to hear about that. D:

From:

theanswer

It's more like an awesomechair! My feet don't get tired. ;D

From:

zamiel.livejournal.com

Plus, it's a really convenient place to mount the autocannons, right?

From:

nezchan

Is she always that, uh....top-heavy as she is in the last panel?

From:

darkblade

Thats a silly question. All superhuman females have the power to have their breasts grow and shrink with a thought between panels and issues. Even the ones who have no other powers.

From:

theanswer

A sudden gasp for air will do wonders.

From:

darkblade

Multiple cup size wonders?

From:

theanswer

Super breath, duh. :P

From:

nezchan

Oh, yes. Cassie. I forgot.

From:

nezchan

Big Bad Beetle Butt!

From:

pyrotwilight

Then an old villain came along and took away our Beetle. Beetle's were in a fix but then came Jaime Reyes!

From:

nezchan

He has yet to equal the inspiring beauty of our Beetle's posterior though, although with training he can aspire to greatness.

He does carry the mantle of D'AWWWW well, though.

From:

gargoylekitty

Barda approves.

From:

celestialchild

Bab's skin looks so... rosy. Bad sunburn?

From:

weezus

I noticed that too, doesn't look too healthy.

From:

zegim

Ted Kord going all *squee* is priceless.

From:

masterofmidgets

Oh god. Booster's enormous grin in that panel is the cutest thing ever. *cuddles*

And it's a good thing Ted's butt is hot enough to distract me from how sad that scene actually makes me...

From:

mcity

That is a touching and humourous moment, only somewhat derailed by the fact that the artist drew Babs stacked like Jenga.

From:

mad

Haha, that's a cute comic. I was explaining the premise of Booster Gold's comic now, and the best way to sum it up was "kinda like Doctor Who".

From:

superfangirl1

Touching and very cute, love you ted.
