She's an arthropodic girl The kind who might give birth to larva And she will turn her lover into chow Because she's the Insect Queen!
She likes the boy Superman The one that Bibbo calls "his fav'rit" And when she puts him in a cocoon it's the right time To trade identities.
That girl's covered in chitin The girl's a superfreak! The kind of girl you read about In entomological magazines! That lady's got a thorax The girl's a superfreak! I think I saw her brother In Smallville's second week!
Horrifyingly, my very first thought upon seeing that wriggly Lana-pillar was, "Oh, she's just about the right size for that bent-over Colossal Boy to enjoy."
You see, this is why I always thought Clark should have stuck with Lana, instead of that Lois chick. (Plus Lana is a redhead which is always a plus in my book.)
The birthday cake pannel has always amused me. Especially the next panel, where everyone decides to lock it up in a display case, in memory of Superboy. Then there's the tag saying "Cake Made by Superboy". Ugh.
Re the cake: Superboy is the only person in Smallville who doesn't know that Superboy is an awful cook, and they're all too nice to tell him. "Eat it! Are you k-... I mean, er, I'd rather save it as a memento of this day. Yeah, that's it."
Every time I see Lana in her Insect Queen costume, I want her to ask Superboy, "Does this costume make my butt look fat?"
mmm... The last time I went to a girl with the "home-made boomerang and a new ladder" trick, she slapped me. Perhaps I must focus on insect queens only.
I think so, Brainy, but where are we going to get a super-elastic blanket, a hand-crafted boomerang, and a 20th-century ladder?

"I'm not ready to go all the way, Clark. Let's just cocoon. Er, spoon! I mean spoon!"

The eyes of Clark are glowing in the dark All the sweet, pink icing flowing down - No-one ate the cake he baked in vain And they wanted to display it But that only would betray it And he'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
I can't touch that.
ReplyDeleteI think that last proposition Suberboy had is illegal is several of the 50 states.

See, today was not a day I needed to read about Superboy bug sex.

...sorry.
Ah, so close and yet so far, Clark:
ReplyDeleteAll I'll need: my cape
A home-made boomerang, and
dad Kent's new Ladder.
And if Clark wasn't Superboy, does Lana the Insect Queen eat him?
ReplyDeleteHorrifyingly, my very first thought upon seeing that wriggly Lana-pillar was, "Oh, she's just about the right size for that bent-over Colossal Boy to enjoy."
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to shower with bleach.
Actually, the last panel reminds me more of MacGyver than Rick James!

ReplyDeleteTom Foss, that "Insect Queen Superfreak" song is brilliant. When I meet my own Insect Queen, that'll be "our song"
ReplyDeleteBecause there are some things for which a store-bought, mass-produced boomerang are wholly inadequate.
ReplyDeleteSure, you can use a storebought boomerang on some street trollop, but if you're with someone you really care about you make your own.
ReplyDeleteJeckie, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
