    Default Cover Contest 1/9/2019 - 1/15/2019: My Pet, My Companion, My Friend

    I dedicate this Contest to Lacey. May she rest in peace in dog heaven.





    The Rules



    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) Have fun!

    I was tempted to go with Ace the Bat-Hound or maybe Bat-Cow, but since I'm more of a cat-guy, . . .

    I am so sorry to hear about your dog Lacey Tami.

    It is hard to lose a pet you love so much, I remember losing our family dog back 2008 and it still hurts.

    I Hope the best for you.

    Congratulations to seismic-2 for a cover which wonderfully evoked all that is loving and caring about Superman. We see so much in simple poses and expressions. I'm in awe.

    As to what the captain has learned this week, he has long been a dog person. In one of the basic questions and two types of people groupings, he falls well within "Dog". Pets are important to us. As children, they are an early way for us to learn responsibility for something else. As adults, they offer us a simpler companion who makes their needs clear and that can be a respite from many parts of life.

    Tami, my sympathies go out to you on your loss. I've lost pets before and that pain is real.

    Serious stuff aside, I'm glad Streaky got no votes as he was the first "poochie" or "scrappy doo". I had considered a Mr Peabody and his pet boy, Sherman cover but couldn't find a good one with old style art.
