How Does Superman Stop A Charging Elephant?

Look, I'm going to come right out and warn you: there is a panel in this post that, once you see it, you will never, ever be able to unsee. Seriously, beware.

Anyway, Perry White's grandchildren, along with some other tykes, have been accidentally teleported to India during a magician's act gone awry.

Hey, don't blame me, readers from northern India--that's what the story said:

But, in the interest of helping those who want to poach the panel for their snarky "Huh huh, look, comic heroes do something that can look dirty huh huh" tumblers, here it is again, in all its awesomeness:

Of course, that only comes in second place for the most Freudian Kal-El panel ever...

Last panel from Superboy #130 (1966)
