Torsten Adair of Barnes & Noble in Lincoln Triangle in New York City saw Steven Bates' column on Top Comic Quotes (see 'I Think I Can Manage--Top Comic Book Quotes') and adds a few of his own:

 

Having read Steven Bates' column concerning comic book quotations, I brainstormed the following while riding the subway to work.  Apologies for any misquotes:

 

-  'With great power comes great responsibility.'

 

-  'Tandoori to go. That's all they went out for, these people... Tandoori to go.'

 

-  'Nothing ends, Adrian.  Nothing ever ends.'

 

-  'Merv Griffin!  Merv Griffin!  Merv Griffin!'

 

 -  'Never play an ace when a two will do.'

 

 -  'I made it by being tougher than the toughies, and smarter than the smarties.  And I made it SQUARE!'

 

-  'Oh, So?'

 

-  'I'm just a poor lonesome cowboy, a long, long way from home.'

 

-  'These Romans are crazy.'

 

-  'Spa Fon'

 

-  'Squa Tront'

 

-  'Great Caesar's Ghost!'

    [I prefer the more modern, 'Great Shades of Elvis!']

 

-  'Klptzyxm'

 

-  'This looks like a job for... SUPERMAN!'

 

-  'Hoka Hoka Gunkledunk!  Hoka Hoka Hey!'

 

-  'Kimota'

 

-  'Humor in a jugular vein'

 

-  'It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide'

 

-  'By the hoary hosts of hoggoth.'

 

-  'And at times the fact of her absence will hit you like a blow to the chest, and you will weep.  But this will happen less and less as time goes on.'

 

And since Steve used a few quotes which first appeared in other media, I include:

 

- 'Thing ring do your thing.'

 

- 'Wonder Twin powers activate!'
