Know Your Obscure Superheroes!

By day, Claude Flapscratcher poses a mild-mannered tax accountant for a chain of kosher dry cleaners. But whenever evil flourishes, when citizens cry out for justice, Claude dons his multi-spectral crime-seeking goggles and becomes… InsectiPup!

Cheers Tameka & Sachmo

    Infamous is when you’re *more* than famous.

    • This pup reminds me of a fluffier, darker version of my girl, Scooby Doo.

      I had to let her go a year ago. If you click my name, you can see her tribute video.

      I’d give anything to put goggles on her and take a pic…

      He’s super cool. We keep trying to put shades on our yorkie karma but she’s not having it — ever! Too bad, it makes for the cutest photos!

    A) who’s his sidekick? Pupae Pup? Larvae Kitten? And B) dare I ask what makes a kosher dry cleaners “kosher”? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Something about that picture bugs me.

  4. Mary (the first) says:

    Smooch, right on the nosicle!

  5. Theresa says:

    All the earmarks of a classic NTMTOM!

    PS: BEEP!

    Kamen Retriever ?

    PPS: Just what is the flap that is scratched by Claude Flapscratcher? (arglesntzchzeepfl) :mrgreen:

  9. I think my last comment got deleted?

    Or I am blacklisted or something?

    Anyway, sorry if this shows up twice. That pup reminds me of a fluffier version of my Scooby Doo. I had to let her go a year ago, yesterday.

    We’re starting a web petition to get Nathan Fillion to play him in the upcoming movie.

    Now I’m curious if a dry cleaner can be kosher. Do they keep their sweaters and leathers separate?

    • Madame X says:

      Nathan Fillion!!! A.K.A. Capt. Tightpants, Capt. Hammer, Rick Castle, All-Around-Swoon-Worthy-Cutie-With-Twinkling-Eyes-And-B*ns-of-Steel!!!!

      Yeah. I think I’ve heard of him…

      • Gigi (the original one) says:

        Capt. Tightpants LOL! Perfect! Just perfect! :-)

      • mctwin says:

        He “really IS ruggedly handsome!!” Uhhh, Yeah! Don’t forget Nathan as Caleb the evil preacher-man in Buffy and the Cute-But-Dumb boyfriend in Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place! Obscure sightings, yes, but well worth watching!!

        I once read a quote from him about the Blackberry or I-Phone or what-have-you that was terrific! Something about more twitching, flicking and pinching than a third date at the county fair! I’ve been really curious about county fairs ever since! ;o

      • Arv9y says:

        You forgot “Malcom Reynolds” captain of the Serenity. Go Firefly!!

    • Madame X says:

      And yes, I can see the resemblance with our heroic bugpup…

    • Theresa says:

      See above.

    • Theresa says:

      So . . . I’m guessing Fillion is in your ISEDHs® . . . :mrgreen:

    • puddlepeppers says:

      It’s so reassuring that in a kosher dry cleaner all
      work is done under rabbinical supervision.

  11. O NO He/ She/ It DI-unt!!! says:

    By the time I had read the phrase “Obscure Superheroes”
    [and, by the way, aren't those two terms kinda antonyms??] — I already knew that this was another HORRIBLE, DEVIOUS, GRIM, SCARY NotThatMike Horror Story.

    ready for my CLOSE UP

  13. Samantha M says:

    Am I the only one who had a “Groove Is In The Heart” video flashback…you know, that annoying earworm song by Deee-lite?

  14. ratchic says:

    Do you see the sneer in that pups face? He has a leeetle sneer mouf, like he sees what you are wearing…or not wearing, thru the innerwebs!!!

  15. Cristina says:

    The first thing that popped into my mind was “Klaus Nomi dog!”

    here i come to save the day!

    he came from outer space
    to save the human race!

  16. meggy says:

    Luv Klaus Nomi dog!
    & looking forward to some cute wabbit posts in honor of Chinese new year (hint, hint)

  17. Redscylla says:

    Only pupper has a totally beepable nosicle. Not so much Klaus Nomi.

  18. wuyizidi says:

    Hmm, who would be his nemesis – The Tick?

  19. treefee says:

    I’d LOVE to see this doggie without the shades. He looks like a real cutie.
