Why, Lois, Me? Superman? It Is To Laugh.

One of my favorite blog is Say It Backwards, which is a loving serving of Superman with a dollop of Silver Age wackiness. You know, giant gorillas with Kryptonite eyes, Superman robots with flags in their hands to signal when they're damaged, Terra-Man, and stuff like that. The blog has taken a substantial drop in quality, though, by letting me write a guest post. The post, entitled Superman Taught Me How to Lie, is up right now.

It's true, Superman did teach me the art of super-obfuscation. The years of protecting his identity have been an object lesson in how to color the truth. I particularly focus on Action Comics #457, which is one on the seminal super-liar seminars.

Thomas, the Guy in Charge of the Blog, is a very nice guy who I know through e-mail. When Safari has a number next to his RSS feed, it's always a spot of joy in my browser. He was also kind enough to say this about Love and Capes...

"It really is a great comic, fun with superheroes without having fun at their expense. And the art's just brilliant. It's like Bruce Timm, Ty Templeton's Adventures style and Tex Avery's respective works had a beautiful love child."

That made my day.
