Great Moments in Comics History: World’s Finest #224

For a big time reporter at a major metropolitan newspaper, Clark Kent certainly has a limited world view.

    Oh well if the Greeks did it then I’m sure it’s oka- HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

     

    Who is that long-haired hippy in the skirt supposed to be anyway?

  2. Crippler Crippler says:

    Superman’s weaknesses include Kryptonite, magic and awkward social situations that reveal his middle-American upbringing. 

  3. MisterJ says:

    So hippie guy wants a Kansas farmer and a Big City Industrialist/Doctor to dance?

    And with their own sons?

    I don’t know what the betting line is, but I think that I will take the under on this one!

  4. Jeff Reid JeffR (@JeffRReid) says:

    Clark Kent does not enjoy Lady Gaga or her many robe-wearing and amulet loving followers.  "’Just dance,’ my foot," he seems to say.

  5. 1SinMuse 1SinMuse says:

    Dance YMCA! Masculine men like cops and bikers do it so its not gay.

  6. Crippler Crippler says:

    Wait, since this is World’s Finest, does that mean the other two figures are Dick and Bruce?

  7. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    That’s exactly the conclusion I came to.  And with Bruce with his hands on his hips like that, he’s communicating, "Don’t make it a big thing farm boy!  Here in the city, we’re more *open*!"

  8. BrianBaer BrianBaer says:

    Well, if Jesus says it’s okay…

  9. Jeff Reid JeffR (@JeffRReid) says:

    @crippler and @josh: Close but, no.  That would be Clark, Bruce, Clark Jr. and Bruce Jr.  This is from the series of "Super-Sons" imaginary stories that ran in WORLD’S FINEST for a while there in the 70s.  Better left forgetten, really.  It’s all been collected but… don’t read it.

    @Kenkneisel – You know you have some issues when Greek Mountain Troops are your model for masculinity. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    JeffR – Your revelation takes this panel from slightly offensive to incredibly uncomfortable. 

  11. Okay so Clark Kent was Homophobic, Bruce Wayne was a little too accepting. It works out in the end though.

  12. Dan Dan says:

    Wasn’t this one of Wertham’s arguments about why comics are bad for kids?

  13. "Maybe we should dis…"

    DANCE!

    "I’m not really in the…"

    DANCE!!

    "Bruce what do you think?" *Sups sees Bruce dance with Dick with a hand on his ass*

    "….Okay I’m gonna go now."

  14. HailScott HailScott says:

    And so begins the next arc of GREEK STREET.

  15. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    "And after we dance.. we Wrestle, in much the same way as those Greeks!"

    Also… shouldn’t it be "Troupe?"  

  16. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    Damn Europeans and their f***ed up sense of masculinity!!

  17. holy lol @ hailscott.

  18. Neb Neb says:

    Do you suppose that they will have to dance the middle school regulated six inches apart?

  19. Bedhead Bedhead says:

    "Finally 24/7 of wearing a leotard under my clothes will REALLY pay off!"

  20. JesTr JesTr says:

    When Jesus says dance you dance!!!

  21. chlop chlop says:

    Anger management class by Mr. Van Driessen?

  22. cromulent cromulent says:

    Don’t mess with guys in dresses and blades for hands and feet!

  23. chlop chlop says:

    Cult 101

  24. DuneGig DuneGig says:

    Hey, wait a minute! Jesus wasn’t blonde… IMPOSTER!

  25. chlop chlop says:

    Worst field trip ever.

  26. Jesse1125 Jesse1125 says:

    @ TheNextChampion Hahahahah, yes you read my mind!

    It wouldn’t have been soo awkward if Wham’s "Careless Whispers" wasn’t playing in the backround…

    "….and I’m never gonna dance again, Guilty feet have got no rythym…."

  27. Phantom Stranger before he went all broody.

  28. Oh come on, Clark.  You and a bunch of dudes followed a guy that looks like Jesus into a forest. What did you think was going to happen?

  29. Is that Jesus….. or Gregg Allman?

  30. WonderManFan WonderManFan says:

    Verrrrrry European…

  31. chlop chlop says:

    It’s not Clark that’s worried, It’s the kids. They obviously hate their parents – they intentionally color coordinated to make themselves as different as possible, even down to the sleeves’ length. There was nothing they could do about the blue hair, though.
