Add linguist to the list of Booster Gold's accomplishments:

Obviously, this is from the German language version of DC Universe Online. There are several of these audio clips online, if you want more. I chose to share the one with Booster Gold talking about Chinatown in German, because.... Well, just because.

Today, Vincent van Gogh is one of the most recognized and popular artists on Earth. What makes him so enduring? Is it his colorful, expressionist style? His warped landscapes? His hauntingly lonely self-portraits? Or is it the mysterious man himself?

Historians tell us that van Gogh suffered from depression. One hundred twenty-five years ago today, he cut off part of his own ear. That doesn't sound like the act of a happy person, does it? Could his mood have been improved if he had known that one day he would take his place among the greatest painters of all time? Only a time traveler would ever know.

Today marks the 177th day since Booster Gold was last seen in a DCnU comic book. That's nearly 6 months! To put that in perspective, this is a list of the ten longest breaks between Booster Gold in-continuity appearance.

1. 336 days between Superman #124 and Chase #4 (Apr. 1997 to Mar. 1998)
2. 302 days between Martian Manhunter #24 and JLA: Our Worlds At War (Sept. 2000 to July 2001)
3. 238 days between Stormwatch #12 and All-Star Western #19 (Aug. 2012 to Apr. 2013)
4. 210 days between Haven: The Broken City #5 and Superman: Day of Doom #1 (Apr. 2002 to Nov. 2002)
5. 210 days between Superman: Day of Doom #1 and JLA: Welcome to the Working Week (Nov. 2002 to June 2003)
6. 189 days between Formerly Known as the Justice League #6 and Identity Crisis #1 (Dec. 2003 to June 2004)
7. 177 days between All Star Western #21 and now (June 2013 to present)
8. 161 days between Green Lantern #116 and JLA #38 (July 1999 to Dec. 1999)
9. 161 days between JLA #41 and Martian Manhunter #24 (Mar. 2000 to Sept. 2000)
10. 154 days between Legends of the DC Universe 80-Page Giant #1 and The Kingdom: Planet Krypton (July 1998 to Dec. 1998)

Sadly, there has been no Booster Gold news recently to suggest that we will see our hero anytime soon. Who knows how much longer this madness will go on?

I see that "breakfast cereal" was the unpopular choice. Superman sold Kellogg's Frosted Flakes in the 1950s. Anything Superman could do, Booster Gold could do better!

Last week's poll question: Which category of product is Booster Gold best qualified to promote? (43 votes)

Christmas is less than a week away, and I for one am glad that I don't have to buy a present for Booster Gold. The man has his own robotic sidekick and a car named after him and. What can you give him that he doesn't already have?
