I’ve had worse blows than that, without ill effect! Why did I go into that queer trance before? Well, I’d best forget it! It won’t happen again!

    Maybe never again for you, Supes. Your son, on the other hand…

    Edit: I wonder if whoever downvoted me doesn’t know that Jonathan Kent (the son of Kal-El/Clark Kent and the current Superman) is bisexual or they just don’t like it?

        That is the original Superboy in OP’s comic, i.e. Kal-El as a teenager.

        It’s not even clone Superboy (Kon-El).

            I don’t blame you, it’s unbelievably stupid. But I was into it as a kid, so I keep up with the storylines without reading the comics. Once they decided to reboot everything I lost a lot of interest.

            Anyway, if it’s Superboy and it looks like it’s from before the 90s, it is definitely Kal-El because before then, Superboy was just Superman when he lived in Smallville.

              Yeah, I was also confused at first, but the header for the issue clarifies it:

    Superboy forgot to say “No homo” while getting blown in a queer trance. Typical rookie mistake, happens to the best of us.

      Huh…today I learned gay guys might not be experts at blowjobs. I guess I always figured they’d be better at them, having the equipment and all. I mean lesbians always say that women lick pussy better then men.

      …wait, is the takeaway here that men are just bad at sex?

        On the other hand, I know (of) at least two women who prefer a male gynecologist because apparently the women are a lot less gentle, while men dont have the first hand experience and sort of have more respect for the matter. It works both ways I suppose

    If there’s one thing I know about comic strips, it’s that saying “it won’t happen again” means it will definitely happen again.
