Great Moments in Comics History: Uncanny X-Men Annual #4

So let me get this straight. Not only is Logan the kind of guy who will give you a picture of himself as a gift, but he’s got the table manners of a viking?

Thanks to Ali Kalomeris for the submission!

    Mmmmmm.  Pure white turkey legs.  Yum!

  2. SplifEOC SplifEOC says:

    With his healing ability is he impervious to salminila?

  3. I can’t imagine Wolverine even posing for that pic back in the day. And i can just imagine Nightcrawler hating the pic, but being too terrified of Logan to take it down. It’s like being forced to wear the horrid sweater your grandmother got you, but a thousand times worse. 

  4. You know after a tough day at work I really have a hankering for a white turkey leg.

  5. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    I like to imagine him posing for the photo, getting dressed up, and making an adventurous face for the camera.  You can work up a hell of an appetite doing that it seems.

  6. DarthDuck DarthDuck says:

    Wolverine and Colossus went half-ies.  Wolverine let his likeness to Peter and he painted the picture.  Cheap teammates…

    Also, who had the balls to get him that polka-dot shirt, striped tie combo?

  7. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    I believe Wolverine is feasting on leg of Wendigo. As well, is it me or does this panel tell you that none of the team, including the psychics, have any clue what Nightcrawler likes? It’s like everyone forgot his birthday. ;-)  

  8. Is that big hat for Professor? Please let it be so.

  9. This is what should have been in all the X-men movies, every single one, that scene can’t get old.

  10. cman12 cman12 says:

    There is no polite way to eat a turkey leg. Only a manly way.

  11. Bedhead Bedhead says:

    Poor Nightcrawler.  They made him wear a costume to his own birthday party.  

  12. Jesse1125 Jesse1125 says:

    Ok, I’ll start it off…

    -Not shown;  3 fingered catchers mitt and pink velour tail sock for those cold winter nights

     

  13. BrianBaer BrianBaer says:

    I’ve given gifts of myself as presents before. Handsome guys like me and Logan can get away with it.

  14. CATR CATR says:

    Hmmmmm–  It’s not a portrait of Wolverine.  It’s a dart board.

  15. cromulent cromulent says:

    Those are some really shitty gifts there. You can sort of tell that Nightcrawler is kinda pissed off here.

  16. Jim Mroczkowski Jimski (@jimski) says:

    You guys just don’t have the backstory that is so important when reading the X-Men. Wolverine is just getting Nightcrawler back for last year, when Kurt got him that green corduroys/canary yellow cowboy shirt combo.

  17. Can Nightcrawler re-gift?

  18. cromulent cromulent says:

    What’s with the floor? Are they in a barn?

  19. Jaredan Jaredan says:

    That’s not turkey, Logan is gnawing on some homestyle wendigo there.

  20. Jaredan Jaredan says:

    Abd being half asleep I see that gag was already used. Insomnia, always fun.

  21. willcrimson willcrimson says:

    I am sure the weights are also appreciated considering he has access to a gym and the danger room.

  22. Noto Noto says:

    Looks like he also got a white coyboy hat, so it isn’t like the day was a total loss.

  23. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    HahHa . . .in Logan’s defense, he and Kurt are best buds!  I bet ‘Crawler was thriled to have the picture.  I can’t say I recall him ever wearing that hat, though.

  24. edward edward says:

    what’s the big deal. it’s a signed headshot. Josh has hundreds of his own

  25. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    I think signed headshots make great gifts. 

  26. Last time somebody called me "fella" I was fending off advances from a 60 year-old man in an Applebees bathroom.

  27. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    Wolverine’s a lot older than 60.

  28. Crippler Crippler says:

    I like the fact that someone got him weights.  Probably Cyclops.. that dick. 

    "Happy birthday Kurt! … Yeah, so, I’ve noticed you seemed a little weak in danger room practise last week, so… have fun!"

  29. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    @Crippler  Ha ha ha ha.  It’s like that aunt who gives you weight-loss or self-help books.  Only she doesn’t make you run drills in the Danger Room.

  30. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    (Now I’m going to be a nerd and say I don’t think Cyke was with the team at that time, but it’s still funny).

  31. I think you’re right.  This was 1980 so this was the post-Phoenix death and pre-Lee Forester time.

  32. I notice binoculars as well. Nothing say like ‘best peeping tom area’ like the X-Mansion. You got many of pickens to choose from to spy in that house.

  33. Wolfdog Wolfdog says:

    He could always have it altered to resemble Napoleon…

  34. russellbuzz says:

    Logan probably just framed one of those "Wolverine Art Appreciation" variant covers…I think that one was for "Pride and Prejudice" #1.

  35. Neb Neb says:

    I hope that is a velvet painting instead of a picture.  Nothing’s classier.

  36. Unoob Unoob says:

    The worst part of the picture is that it isnt really of Logan at all. It’s really professor X LARPing as Logan.

  37. I love it how Logan’s hair matches perfectly with the points of his costume.

  38. chlop chlop says:

    At least Logan wrapped his. The other guys just threw crap in a cardboard box. Not even a birthday card.

  39. edward edward says:

    @WOLFDOG: you’re supposed to push webistcs!
