	Dick WOULD be the one to suggest the kissing. That was cute. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, nothing like embarrassing your dad and your "uncle"! (of course, if HE'D offered to kiss them to tell the difference, Lois wouldn't have been quite so surprised. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wait...so Bruce is wearing makeup on his Superman mask? You know, I should know better even to ask. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maybe it's some kind of powder to keep the mask from being too shiny? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	icon_uk 2009-08-08 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	Probably make-up around the eyes and mouth to blend the mask in with the skin. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	J Wilbur Wolfingham!?! Now there was a fun, silly character back in the day! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Watch him get retconned into a child eating serial rapist next week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, you didn't get last week's issue? He's been retconned into a n African national. He trains child soldiers and trades sex slaves with Somali pirates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He should meet Uncle Marvel. "You look like W.C. Fields!" "YOU look like W.C. Fields!" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I thought Wilbur Wolfingham was the Penguin at first. I was like "who the hell invited the Penguin to Clark's birthday party?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	All these young'uns just don't respect us old timers and our sayings anymore. :( (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Agree I also thought the same. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	volksjager 2009-08-08 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	Curious. Was there ever any story behind why the Earth2 Superman's "S" was so skew ? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	stig 2009-08-08 02:15 pm UTC (link)
	He claims that he fell over and it didn't straighten up. He did so in order to quell the constant repetition of that question, "If Superman Trips Up, Does He Just Float In The Air?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	strannik01 2009-08-08 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	It was from an earlier version of the Superman costume. When creating the Earth-2 Superman, writers went with it in order to differentiate him from a more contemporary Earth-1 Superman. http://metropolisplus.com/Superman/ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I recall the story wherein Lois falls off a building and Hocus simply turns and says "HOCUS POCUS! Clark Kent, you will now turn into Superman and save her!" It involved her turning into Superwoman and a huge amount of dickery in order to get her to be Lois again. (Reply to this)

	sherkahn 2009-08-08 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	Second scan. 3rd panel... Lois knows how to assume the position for "partying" with lots of guests. And Lois, would you be able to recognize your hubby in the dark, in bed? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jcbaggee 2009-08-08 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I was thinking that's some awkward panel layout there. She looks like the party goers just walked in on them, also. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	thandrak 2009-08-08 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Hocus and Pocus! I miss those guys. (Reply to this)

	mysteryfan 2009-08-08 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	So cute! Batman's cowl looks a bit odd to me, too pointy... but cute story. So glad Earth-2 Lois got to be in on secrets, even back then. And yeah, why weren't Bruce and Selina invited? That's kind of a faux pas, Superman. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	strannik01 2009-08-08 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	Batman's cowl looks a bit odd to me, too pointy I think it was supposed to be a nod to one of the earlier designs (similar to how Earth-2 Superman used one of the earlier version of the "S" shield) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mullon 2009-08-08 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	A spitoon! Just what Lois needed. (Reply to this)

	ficticons.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	Lol...with the way Bruce said "It's a lucky thing Bruce and Selina Wayne weren't invited too", I thought for a minute there that the person in the Batsuit was Selina, and was wondering how she managed to pass herself off as Batman :P. I completely forgot about Dick. (Reply to this)

OK, this is pretty cool. It's always nice to give a shout-out to older characters who've been largely forgotten, and there's some great ones here (most of whom I haven't actually READ mind you - hint, hint - but I know about them, 'cause I do my homework). J. Wilbur Wolfingham! Lois's niece Susie, 'the girl who loves to tell whoppers', who once teamed up with Mr. Mxyzptlk! Hocus and Pocus... OK, I have no idea who they are, but it's nice seeing them, anyway. A lovely little glimpse of those halcyon pre-Weisinger days.

	"At last the festivities are over...and only the guests of honor and the two superheroes are left..." And Clark is Clark, Supes is Bruce and Bats is Dick? I'd say the fun is just beginning, if Lois plays her cards right. (Reply to this)
