I’m kind of busy this week, so rather than go into Star Hawkins’ career or talk about his disturbing lady-robot-butler, I’m going to keep it real simple.
Two words: pixie boots.
SIMPLE GUIDE TO SEE IF YOU CAN PULL OFF PIXIE BOOTS:
1.) Are you a ten-year-old boy?
2.) Is your name Robin?
If you answered “no” to either question, you should not wear pixie boots.
Also: tights and pixie boots.

I love how it lists a can-opener among her attachments.
Because nothing says “futuristic” like the ability to quickly open a can of creamed corn.
But… but… I was looking forward to hearing about his creepy lady robot butler!
Thursday Who’s Who is always the perfect way to start the day.
Well, it looks like he was somewhat successful in working for robot rights, although they can’t get married either, huh? “Life-pairings” may be a better title that “civil unions,” though.
Only one grown man is permitted to wear the pixie boots and that is James Jesse, the one the only the original Trickster, accept no imitations *cough*axel*cough*
Skeets?!? — is that YOU?!? XD
But doesn’t pink make you immune?
I. Laughed. My. Ass. Off.
Is like a reverse papa smurf.
Wait, New City? Seriously, is that the best name they could come up with?
(Okay, I appreciate that the real word has featured Novgorod and Neapolis, but still)
I refer the easily-shocked to the Twilight mini-series by Howard Chaykin:

I like that, in the 21st Century, crooks will be called “zips.” I suggest we all start using that slang, just so the Star Hawkins comic can come true.
But really, Ida is a font of many stories. Only robots programmed as the opposite sex can “life-pair”? She’s build with a head like an overturned wok and a mini-skirt? What exactly *is* her past relationship with Mr. Pixie Boots?
Hmm.
But on the other hand, give him props for his foreground picture kicking the guy in the background greenline in the face. That takes real talent.
Fey Magnum P.I. with robot slave/ girlfriend/ secretary/ can opener/ pawn ticket. Don’t EVER trade your awesome moustache for magenta pixie boots. Also, how lame is the future is rayguns are still so unusual that being able to use one rates a mention? And you know if that robot has a can opener attachment, that means the future doesn’t even have food pills. Bad show, future, bad show.
He had a robot named Ida? A shoutout from Middleman should give Star an extra few percentage points, I think.
In 1984, I had fawn-coloured, suede pixie boots. I thought they were the coolest thing ever, but I couldn’t even walk in them – the toes were severely pointy and the soles were slippery. Star is fighting a battle with every step.
I’m assuming you meant, “if you answer ‘no’ to BOTH questions”, since the way it’s written now would mean Peter Pan doesn’t make the cut.
And that’s just not right.

Robin Williams in Hook.
Much as I hate him, it still applies.
While I agree entirely with the rating, I must say that, in all honesty, if you look at how tennis shoe designs have changed in the past 30 years (with the exception of the almighty Converse), seeing people wearing pixie boots in the year 2070 is not such a far-fetched notion.
