I guess Super-Sarcasm is a power now, then.
Since when this comic was made, about the only behind the scenes knowledge anyone had about TV news was probably from the Mary Tyler Moore show; so maybe it didn't seem unusual for Clark to routinely ditch in the middle of a broadcast, whether it was interrupted or not. What am I saying? If your town had a local news anchor that routinely ditched out at the start of sports, mumbling something about a microwave pizza he left on, or hookers waiting on the clock; the networks would probably promote them to national. For all I know, Fox News has a dozen guys that do just that, all with their own conservative book deal.
Although, it does seem Clark has driven his producer/director past the point of hiding his drug habit.
Short one today, I'm tired. More fun tomorrow!

Verrrrry funny, luv?!? Since when does Lana Lang have a British working class accent?
ReplyDeleteThat's her "term of endearment" for Clarkie back in those days.
ReplyDeleteI remember during those times Superman was the ultimate player. He was dating Lois as Superman while dating Lana as Clark at the same time! Now that's super!
Ah, there is nothing like telling the truth. Nobody EVER believes you.
