Many of you have probably seen the website that is now called superdickery.com. However, I still can't resist posting this particular jewel of wonderous lustre.
For those of you who haven't had the distinct pleasure, the above site is composed of real, unaltered scans from old superhero comics.
Essentially, the idea is that the founder of the site was paging through some old Superman comics, and he realized, "Hey. Superman is a real dick."
Lo and behold, after perusing most of the images on the site, I cannot disagree.
Superman is not just a dick, he's a hilariously selfish bastard. At least the Superman from 20+ years ago was. And so was his riduclous sidekick, Jimmy Olsen, who seems to be alternately trying to sell Superman out or turning into various ape-like creatures and attempting to communicate by using a typewriter...
In fact Lois Lane appears to be the only innocent in this whole deal. She's the one who accidentally takes the potion that ages her 50 years, or is forced to ride around scrunched uncomfortably inside a sweaty, bullet proof bubble. ("It's for your protection, Baby!" calls Superman, and snickers as he waltzes freely down the street next to her. Not an exact quote, but you know what I mean.)
Not Christopher Reeves, though. He was more superman than Superman.
RIP.
