The Silver Age of Comic Books/Quotes

"Apart from the soul-shattering claim of super-kisses, Silver Age Superman's other supposed powers he made up on the spot include: 1. Super-weaving 2. Super-ventriloquism 3. Super-landscaping 4. Super-motherfucking-mathematics It's at this point where any rational human being stands up and calls horseshit, but in the pages of Action Comics, rationality is nothing more than a cheap hooker Superman picked up outside a Costco, raped, beat, and left for dead by the side of the road. While wearing clown makeup. And singing "Goodbye Horses.""

Bennet the Sage: "Oh come on, it's hilarious! There's this scene in like Superman 235 where he gets spanked..." Linkara: "YES I KNOW! SUPERMAN WAS SPANKED! SUPERBOY WAS SPANKED! BATMAN WAS SPANKED! EVERYBODY WAS SPANKED IN THE SILVER AGE!""
