# Superhero Bandages Ouch Comic Strip Bandages By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-08-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superhero-bandages-ouch-comic-strip-bandages References: [wishingfish](http://wishingfish.com/510677d.html) Now when [Batman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-air-up) gets a boo boo he can protect his wound with 'Ouch Comic Strip' bandages with classic comic book exclamations such as “OUCH!, WHAAM!, and POW!” The 'Crime Scene' tin contains, “a FREE TOY to take your mind off of the excruciating pain,” and it is suggested that, “for best results, apply to body parts not already outlined in chalk!” Not much use at that point. Finally, we have the 'Bacon and Egg' collection; eggs for small boo boos and bacon for larger wounds, and perfect for “grease splatters”. The [collectible tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishmallows-blemish-patches) come with an assortment of the sterile strips for about $5.
