Bil-El assured them that there was room for all his kids in the escape rocket, then sent Billy-El and Dol-El out to get snacks for the long trip Earthward. They didn't suspect a thing until Peej-El's cry of "Suckers!" filled the Kryptonian sky.--Rotter
There goes that bastard Calvin in his "Spaceman Spiff" ship again. How come we can't have elegantly illustrated imaginations? I mean, all we've got is "Not Me," "Ida Know" and so on, and they all look like friggin' Schmoo from L'il Abner."--Mycroft

Somebody musta pulled that jet's finger.--I ain't taking credit for this one
Okay, I humbly admit my error. I should have let YOU write S.O.S. in the snow...--Trevita
The first attempt to break the sound barrier in a comic strip was a disaster. The plane was passing through Family Circus when it made the speed of sound, tearing through the paper and drowning the entire strip in a TV listing.--Thany
"I never really cared for the musical stylings of John Denver anyway."--Frod
As the fabric of the space/time continuum ripped open, the kids realized that Jeffy had not listened to their warning about engaging the warp engines while still in a planet's atmosphere.---Jester
The more they squinted, the more apparent it became that Wonder Woman was indeed taking a shit.--Andrella
Well, there goes Jeffy...lets hope he can kick Saddam's butt, bring back the Crown Jewels and kill Goldfinger before dinner. I'd hate to see him raped by Bil again....--Jenn Dolari
