“So, hon, I was thinking that we should think about maybe getting Jackie some motorcycle classes, too. I think that she could be trusted with them, what do you think?”
I’m still holding out hope that he’s building a Mad Max style mecha scorpion monster truck in a secret garage under the regular one. This page shows that he clearly thinks ahead, so all it should take for him to reveal it is a kaiju attack. Metrovale is about due for one of those, right?
A girl doesn’t recognize her mother because Mom is wearing spandex.
A man doesn’t recognize his wife or his daughter because they’re wearing spandex and never asks his wife where she goes at night and why she comes home sweaty and bruised.
Disbelief suspended by the neck until dead, dead, dead.
Oh, he knows exactly what she’s up to. And he recognizes them, too. Just, for whatever reason, he’s letting them think that he has no clue. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s fun for him to watch them squirm, or what.
I’m just hoping that one night he’s all “Y’know, Jan, I’ve always had this thing I wanted to try in the bedroom… You know Miss Melee?”
Jackie somehow doesn’t recognize Jan (I can only guess due to subconscious denial by this point) but Mark obviously recognizes them both and, as repeatedly mentioned, is clearly very amused that they seem to think he doesn’t know exactly who he is dealing with.
Jackie, trust me, if your dad hasn’t recognised your dad once despite the relatively light level of disguise in her costume, you’re safe and sound!
Yup, if the dad can’t recognize himself then I think you have bigger problems then having your identity revealed.
Considering that he actually worked on the skates for Jackie before her costumed debut… He knows.
What I wonder is whether Miss Melee knows that he knows about her, and is just waiting for him to admit it…

Never underestimate the power of Clark Kenting. It even worled for Christopher Reeves.
It did, but it’s very obviously not working here. Jan’s boss might not recognise her in costume, but her husband very clearly does.

This is all an elaborate lampshade-hanging and trope-inversion.
Is she even old enough to drive? Perhaps a cool side cart on the bike that detaches and becomes a razor scooter would have been a good starting point.
That one thug looks like a dog with those pig tails.
I wonder if Jan saw Mark ogling a gold skinned amazon or a four arm succubus…!?!?
Clearly a Grrl Power comic reference, but I’m not sure why. Did I miss a reference in one of the comics at some point?
