Panels from Superman Family #212 (December 1981)
...and on a day when Jimmy Olsen escapes from a deathtrap in his underwear...
...is the same day that Clark Kent watches Lou Grant.
Let's look at another day. Today, Lois Lane escapes being kidnapped by a gun-wielding crazy maniac taxi driver (in other words, a taxi driver):
...and Jimmy Olsen takes out a pair of organized criminal weasels using only his wits an an Ikea Kvart lamp!
It's the same day that Clark Kent sneezes.
"Oh, come on," you're saying. "It's not fair to judge what Clark does...after all, we should look at what Superman is up to!" Well, reasonable enough...
Oh, good work, Superman. You re-heated a cup of coffee.
So: your fine Superman line of comic books from DC! We all know who the star of them is, don't we?
Yes, truly, this was The Greatest Lois Lane Story Ever.
As a kid, I had no idea that all of the Super-skin was tucked away in the mag with Family in the title!

ReplyDeleteThank you for getting to her bottom in the end.
ReplyDeleteCough.
