Manic Monday--Superman Doesn't Believe In Basic Hygiene

Pete Ross' young son, Jonathan, is dying of a curable malady--because the problem isn't just physical:

Eeeeewwwww...and don't forget to mention--no deodorant. Clark Kent is stinky!!

You'd also think Lois would have noticed the first time she went snooping through Clark's bathroom....
