I find myself hoping the artist was behind and so repurposed a picture of Reed Richards by drawing a pair of horns on the head, sketching some underwear on the outside, and painting it all red.

According to Green’s Dictionary of Slang, it can mean many things. In this case, I’m betting on:

pipe, v.(3) 1.  to look over, to inspect. 2. orig. of a detective, to follow, to pursue; to spy on. 3. to understand, to work out. [with US examples 1882-1962]

I believe so. According to Green’s Dictionary of Slang, it usually referred to an obese person (or group thereof), but being used to mean “beefy” doesn’t seem too far removed.

beef trust (n.) [ironic use of SE beef trust, a conglomerate of beef producers/processors; orig. late 19C carnival use, created by showman W.B. ‘Billy’ Watson (born Isaac Levy; 1852–1945), who thus named his sideshow of grotesquely overweight women, the term was later adopted in his burlesque to describe a chorus-line of notably large girls; Watson also created the chicken trust, composed thin and reportedly beautiful women]

1. (Aus./US) an obese person, a group of obese people [with examples dated 1914-2002]

True, he’s been blind since birth, but that doesn’t mean the buffalo wasn’t great.

Yep, truly a disgrace. No boob-chasers at all in the theatre or movie industries. Especially not among the guys in charge

1. At first I misread this as him wassailing her drawers. Not sure if that would have been better or worse…

2. I have to think the plot was setting the guy up as a raving lunatic–what other kind of person would berate someone for NOT storing their sweaters in their underwear drawer?

Ok, gorillas seem to be a recurring theme here. Were they that common in the comics of the era or are most of these from the same issue? Or maybe I simply have a heretofore unrealized sensitivity to gorillas.

No, wait, it just ripened! Now there’s no way I’ll be able to get it home before it goes bad!

Also from the bio (can’t imagine why this nugget didn’t make it into the movie):

In 2008, John Constantine located the skeleton of [Saint] Nikolaus and arranged to have the remains shipped back to England for use in an occult ritual. In order to get the remains through customs, Constantine had them ground into powder and convinced the customs agent that it was gardening fertilizer. He used some of the powder for his ritual, then snorted the rest as if it were cocaine, musing about how it was going to be a “White Christmas”.
