Lana Lang: Hussy-Hater!!

Lana Lang has discovered a non-functional "time-viewing machine," which somehow she gets to work for a few moments. But oh, what terrible moments they are!

You know, "hussy" is a word you don't hear often enough these day. Let's all make an effort to call someone a hussy today, shan't we?

Lana sees enough on the viewer to learn that Lois' hometown is nearby Pittsdale, so she finagles a trip to visit an aunt there as an excuse to stalk Lois, and put an end to the future romance:

"Vixen"! There's another one that has sadly faded into disuse. Jerry Coleman was certainly bringing his A-game of mild epithets to this catfight!!

Well, Lana sees her chance to gum up Lois' future as a reporter:


See, guys, back in the Silver Age, teenagers could just wander around schools in strange small towns and rifle through teachers' desks without worrying about armed security guards demanding student ID's and sniffer dogs and random strip searches...

"Drat!" (there you go again, potty-mouth Jerry Coleman!). Foiled by modern technology!!!

Don't worry kids--Lana hasn't given up with. She has more sneaky plans to detour that vixenous hussy Lois Lane away from her man! Tune in for future installments of Lana Lang: Hussy-Hater!!
