Comeback of the Year So Far

(Well, the year is only a week old.) From the generally rather adorable Teen Titans Year One:


The Flips previously appeared in Teen Titans back in 1965.


With a classy act like that, how could they ever have been forgotten?

I like how The Flips have gone from a pop gimmick band (surfing? on stage?) to singers with emo hair cuts, pouty lips, and an ironically chipper band name, like "Joy Division" or "Frou Frou"

I gather that Jack Flip will be writing a new comics series for Dark Horse very soon.

The Flips are always trendy. No matter the era. If emo is hip, then the Flips are emo.

Crazy.
