Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy.

I love that the promo code and actual discount don't even line up, like someone went "oh shit this 20% off promo is too popular, scale it back to 15%"

"Kids, are you okay?!"
"Mmm... delicious chocolatey cake..."
"I know that must have been really traumatic, but-"
"Spongy with creamy icing!"
"We have psychiatric help ready for y-"
"We refuse to leave the elevator without more Hostess products!"

Kinda like the initial premise of The Boys series

I was thinking more like Mystery Men.

A man of conviction, willing to walk back into the fire because he doesn't support his philosophy if only we had more people like that... Well I guess they would have burned to death but you get the point.

Superman: “I have an apartment in Manhattan, dammit!”

(Metropolis, same difference.)

Do you think he would be able to keep that journalist job, while being everywhere else all the time doing Superman stuff if he asked for a real salary?

No, the only reason he keeps it is because basically all of his pay is on tips.

Where does he keep tips in those tights?

😱 But Superman doesn't go into the public domain for like 9 more years! Do you suppose Neil Kohney got a license from Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. to use Superman in this comic?

(Joke. It's a joke. Not a good one, but a joke none the less.)
