Dancing Statue of Liberty

This poor guy was dancing around in front of a tax preparer’s office last weekend. Faces have been blurred to protect the innocent.

Update January 2009: Someone hit this post after searching for “dancing tax preparer.” Is it really that common?

DC Comics’ April releases have been announced, among them Crisis Aftermath: The Battle For Blüdhaven. (That’s the city Nightwing decided to protect when he went solo, downriver from Gotham and even more corrupt.) But the cover doesn’t make me think of Nightwing, or of Batman:

A woman dressed like the Statue of Liberty, a blond man in sunglasses wearing a blue outfit with a star on the shoulder of an arm he's flexing toward the viewer, and three identical men in black wearing pain black bandanas to cover their faces. Blue flames rise behind them, and a cityscape behind a barbed wire fence.

Let’s see, there’s American Maid/Captain Liberty, not sure about the guy in the middle, but the three ninjas on the right sure look like they’re forming a hedge.

Could it be true? Is The Tick coming to Blüdhaven?

OK, they’re actually the Force of July (thanks to the Comic Bloc forums for the ID), but wouldn’t the Tick have been funnier?
