Or – “OMAC Daddy Make Ya JUMP! JUMP! Daddy OMAC ‘ll … Ah, Skip It.”
I’ll say this for the relaunch: They’re certainly making an effort to bring back things from all across their 80 year history. We’ve seen the thirties, the fifties, the sixties and the eighties represent, but now it’s time for a little 1970′s Kirby love.
