Mulling over the Fortress’ landmark 100th post, your ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Keeper suffered a crisis of infinite proportions.

What to write? Should your humble host ponder whether Joe Quesada really gets it? Critique John Byrne’s statement that a lot of stupid people are buying comics? Wonder what the hell is wrong with Nightwing?

The Keeper could unlock a terrible secret. (Pssst…He thinks Brubaker’s Daredevil is only OK!)

Naahh. It’s the G*damn Fortress’ 100th post. It’s time to pull out the stops. It’s time for…

Wonder Woman playing baseball with a gorilla.

Yes, sports fans, it happened in Wonder Woman # 78. Is it redundant to say the story - first published in 1955 - was written by the ever-insane Robert Kanigher? The somewhat surreal art was handled by H.G. Peter - whose distinctive style defined the Amazing Amazon from her debut to the late 1950s.

Through circumstances too complicated for this writer to sum up - although Kanigher and Peter manage to do it in one or two panels, a true sign of genius - Wonder Woman is forced to team up with Andy Gorilla (!) to save a kindly educator’s school from some evil, ol’ guy with a receding hairline.

The challenge: the Amazon Princess must team up with Andy and beat the receding hairline guy’s baseball team. Complicating matters, Wonder Woman is forced play by the villain’s rules.

Fortunately for the good guys, Wonder Woman proves to be a better pitcher than most of the lunks on the Keeper’s beloved S.F. Giants. (Andy must be a heck of a catcher; the Amazon Princess didn’t wave off his signals once!)

Next, Andy illustrates a baseball truism: Never give gorillas a high floater over the plate. They’ll knock it out each time.

Proving she’s all that, Wonder Woman hits one out while holding the bat in her teeth. In deference to Babe Ruth, however, the baseball commissioner at the time put an asterisk after her name in the record books.

Sexist jerk.

Sadly, Andy proves to be “all-hit” and “no-field” and loses an easy one in the outfield. (What? No DH??)

What’s an Amazon to do? Well, how about everything…

The Keeper loves Andy’s remark at the end, because as we all know gorillas in the DC universe are super-intelligent.

As an added 100th post bonus, the Keeper is hereby announcing his admiration of the Kanigher Wonder Woman (which roughly covers 1948 to 1968). It’s easy to praise the Charles Moulton and George Perez eras, but any run that includes Robot Wonder Woman, gorilla baseball, The Glop and Wonder Tot deserves its due …
