Psycho Pirate, you've met your match:
OK, at least when it comes to sadness.
Phil Sanders was a small-time crook who escaped from Plastic Man, and his mug...well, it was almost tear-inducing.
Sanders has been keeping to the straight-and-narrow for awhile to evade capture. But then there's an ad in the paper...
Well, mopey-faced Sanders gets the role...
...but the director thinks he can make him look even
sadder!
And damn, is it
effective!
And so Sanders begins a crime-spree marked by...
tears!
Fortunately, the effects aren't permanent...
"
The subtlest form of hold-up!"
Well, worry not, dear readers. Plas fakes his own death, because he knows Sanders had promised to laugh at his funeral. Spell broken!! And then with a little help from a feathered friend...
Of course, in
2017, one could achieve much the same effect by showing people
videos of sad kittens on your phone...
From Plastic Man #20 (1949)
