Manic Monday--Today Smallville, Tomorrow The World!?!
A buncha jerks are trying to start up a protection racket in Smallville, including beating the living crap out of Pa Kent:
Why Smallville?
Yeah, that's some crime empire you're gonna have...

Manic Monday Bonus--Superboy Already Did It!!
Remember that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa discovers that beloved town founder Jedidiah Springfield had really been vile pirate Hans Sprungfeld, mortal enemy of George Washington?
Well, Superboy already did it. Decades earlier.
OK, Superboy actually did the opposite, sort of, but they were clearly in that territory first! Hang on for a wild ride!
It's time for a special class at Springfield High!
Lana, it turns out, has a pretty swanky pedigree. But Clark Kent...?
OMG!!
Well, sure, kids will talk and gossip. But surely the adults of Smallville are more mature, and above such pettiness, right?
Of course not!
Well, Smallville is actually Jerk Town, USA. And it ain't blowin' over any time soon!
It gets so bad, that...
...oops, wrong story.
No Pa Kent is bummed, but his solution: flee the cruel, cruel people of Smallville!
Well, Superboy goes back in time, has some piratey adventures, and discovers that...
So the person we thought was an evil pirate really was a hero!!
But there's still one dilemma:
Remember how Lisa was able to prove the truth of her Springfield/Sprungfeld theory because of a message scrawled on the back of a piece of a portrait of George Washington? Well...
36 years before Lisa The Iconoclast, Superboy did the exact same story (except the Simpsons flipped the "evil guy found to be really good" idea). Revolutionary-era pirate, portrait of Washington hiding secret letters, jerky townsfolk...
So remember, when people say, "The Simpsons Already Did It," well, Superboy did it even earlier!

What Jonathan Kent *Really* Did To Earn A Living
We all know that Pa Kent had a farm; and then he sold it to open a general store in Smallville.
But is any of that true?
Because here at Slay Monstrobot, we have made a shocking discovery about the TRUE career of Superboy's foster father:
Yup...Pa Kent was a counter-spy...an espionage ace!!
And a wordy sonuvabitch!
But man, he had a way with the ladies:
That's right--he'd call you honey just after he met you!
He also had a way with goddamn commie spies!
But Jonathan Kent was still smooth with the ladies, even after fighting
And he always succeeded in his cases!
Johnathan Kent smashes attempts to undermine democracy!! Plus, he grows wheat...
