Superman’s Supersenses

 

Superman Has Super Tinnitus | The Mary Sue.

This joke is so simple, yet so wonderful.  The fact that the shooter(s) have not been dealt with but they are so tickled by the mishear that they are falling about laughing is just the right level of ridiculousness to match the golden age art style.

Though it does beg the question why wouldn’t his super-hearing compensate given the proximity of the speaker and his usual ability to hear virtually anything on the planet (admittedly from space). But we wouldn’t want to be accused of being ped-antic.

 

(Those in the audience who aren’t too keen on punning should be pleased to note that I threw out a ‘Supersense of humour’ line, though I couldn’t resist alluding to it here…)
