Sometimes Art and Text Don't Match

This set of panels is from Giant-Size Super-Stars #1. The basics of the plot are that the Thing and the Incredible Hulk have had their minds swapped. So Hulk-Thing is going around hitting people who normally would be on the Thing's side.

I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind the special note from Roy Thomas (Who was the editor on this book) was. Was it to make the violence against a female seem less drastic? Was it to explain what was happening because of the lacking art? I can't tell.

All I know is Thundra don't need a editor's note to stick up for her, guys.

Ben Grimm: Jerk

Hey, Ben Grimm - what do you say to your friend when you find out that his wife's been replaced by a Skrull?

(Fantastic Four #357, written by Tom DeFalco, art by Paul Ryan and Danny Bulanadi)

Yeah, uh...not that.

Given that the guy standing next to Ben there is noted evil mind-controller the Puppet Master, Johnny takes this about as well as you'd expect.  They spend the next five pages beating the crap out of each other; at no point does Ben dispel the notion that he's being mind-controlled, nor does he tell Johnny what the hell is going on.  Honestly, I think he just wanted an excuse to smack the Torch around for stealing his woman.
