Some Notes Concerning An Out-Of-Context Panel From A Silver Age Superman Comic.

  • It would be frightfully easy to turn this into a phone sex flier that you could plant in strategic areas around a comics convention and help take your fledgling dirty chat operation to the next level.

  • I can't really blame Superman for being awful to them, if this is the sort of thing they do behind his back. The entire thing is sick, but understandable.

  • Again, Kurt Schaffenberg's gals are stone cold foxes. Check out Lois lounging around in that diaphanous little thing. "Hot" ain't the word here - thermonuclear is. (Yes, I'm ignoring the horrible collar with what looks like a Macy's gift bow attached and instead pretending.)

  • I'd be willing to bet Lois is listening to Duke Ellington & John Coltrane on the hi-fi. OK, that's what I'm pretending she's listening to. Shut up.

  • I bitterly regret than another panel, in which they state they're tired of all the catfighting they're doing is placed so close to the spine and I don't have a color copy of this story in my archives to use.
