Why Clark Kent & Lois Lane Should Not Have Sex

I know Bryan Singer's film Superman Returns allowed the premise that Superman and Lois could conceive a relatively "normal" child, but all comic book fans know the truth.  Superman and Lois were warned that creating a kryptonian and human hybrid off-spring would be disastrous. The only benefit from their selfish misdeed was we got one of the stars of Goonies.  Chunk with super powers is scarier than Bizarro.

Bizarro Superman's Hot Tub Time Machine Cameo


First let me say this, I don't know exactly what this picture is, but I know its awesome. 

But you take a steroid freak, send him back to the 1970's, put him in a Hot Tub Time Machine type ski resort, and he gets to photobomb some unsuspecting family's vacation picture.  That's almost too much for one single picture to handle.

Matt Groenig's DC Comic Book Cover for Bizarro

In 2000-2001 DC Comics started the Bizarro Comics anthology.  This event invited underground and alternative cartoonists - and a few other unlikely types - to get nutty with the DC Universe's characters.

Here is an awesome cover of Bizarro done by one of the most talented animators in history, Mr. Matt Groening.  It's been nearly a decade since it's release but it definitely stands the Gfest test of time.

If you can get your hands on this old comic it is worth the read.  For a synopsis of the comic book.  Click on read more.
