Is this from the Superman anti-Klan episodes?
He’s probably out to eliminate the competition.
Off topic, such as there is a topic to this post, but…
Man jailed for trying to pass $1M bill
Guess who made the fake bills? None other than Ray Comfort, of “the banana disproves evolution and proves God” fame and life-partner of Kirk Cameron.

That explains the picture. I was raised Methodist. A lot of them are just Agnostics who like to get together on Sundays.
Superman is Jesus. I think that explains why throws away the cross.
And not far away people say: “Oh look! There is a cross in the sky. I can see it. It’s a sign, it’s a sign!”.

The Superman radio show is famous for taking on the KKK.
They had a mole inside the KKK, and weekly they would use
their funny passwords and rites on the radio to mock them.
Members left in droves because they couldn’t take the ridicule.

Shouldn’t that be worded as “Superman, Superman, why hast thou forsaken us”?
The mole inside the KKK was Stetson Kennedy, who just celebrated his 91st birthday.
Ignoring the context, that image rocks!
There was a chapter about Stetson Kennedy in Freakonomics. Good reading, that.

I’ve been using that as my message board icon for about a year and a half now. Love it.
Do we call the image a Comic Book Mine?
Hehe.

The latest edition of Freakonomics withdraws the claim about Stetson Kennedy.
p290:
I just read the “Manliest Names” article at cracked.com (who knew they were funny?), and Stetson Kennedy deserves to be up on that list toot sweet.
Superman has always been my personal lord and savior…. He can kick the crap out of Jesus, Mohammad, And Buddha…
