Can A Dying Man Woo Lois Lane? The Answer Is Yes

[@sasstrash316]

Love the purple lipstick, eyeshadow and sweater. Also poor Jimmy, guy didn’t deserve the demotion.

[@michaelthomas5433]

Yes he did. Be honest.

[@jpboursaw4469]

Also down for this weeks ensemble. Add a cape, and you’ve got yourself a cosplay! Very Black flame! Jimmy has often been cited for letting his lollygagging cut into his goof off time. But somehow, he always manages to redeem himself just long enough to keep his job. Such are the events in his life. Events that follow him still, despite reboots!

[@Solas67]

I've decided that Lois isn't badly written, she's suffering from the rare variant of Kryptonite, C-K. You'd think that'd be Clark Kent. It's in fact Copium Kryptonite that only affects Silver Age female characters and impares their judgement to the point they a) decide that they cannot live without male character x in their lives b) spend said life recklessly endangering themselves to attract the attention of male character x c) compare any other potential love interest to male character x and often tell said potential that to their face d) have a hard reset of their personality which leads them back to condition a. That was easy, right?

[@ProjektTaku]

its an evolved form of pink kryptonite, which instead of making a male character like another male character (yes this actually happened to superman) it makes lois fall for any male character that exists.

[@cassandralyris4918]

I'm a 40 year old housewife and I'm fairly certain that I am also somehow currently wooing Silver Age Lois Lane.

[@BlueCarnage0]

Can an inanimate object woo Lois lane? The answer is a resounding yes.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I have a kitchen timer shaped like a pear, which no longer works properly. I'm fairly sure it's been engaged to Silver Age Lois at least once.

[@timscott6793]

@@andrewgwilliam4831 I have a broken pair of headphones I used as a child, which have the minions on them. They've been married and divorced with Lois twice.

Lois has a thing for either the most unkillable men on earth or the ones with mortality banging on their doors and absolutely no middle ground.

(I think that may be called living for the drama)

[@mtmk5]

Love how Perry is smoking a cigar in his hospital room right next to the guy in the iron lung.

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Like the thumbnail, question is does Clark think of saying choke in his thought bubble, the sound of choking, or thinking to choke Hunt? Lois falling for someone just for being handsome is classic but Poultry Perry was the highlight, even putting chicken above calling Superman.

[@CasuallyComics]

I mean who can resist chicken a la chicken lol

[@DSan-kl2yc]

That's a joke right? Hard to tell if people just don't understand it. I've seen some people become confuse by this before

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

@@DSan-kl2yc ... Yes, I'm joking about the choke comment since its referring to how she says it out loud as opposed to making the noise and no Perry's love of chicken isn't actually above Superman all the time.

[@raym1477]

Silver Age Lois' antics were even parodied in Astro City with a Superman expy who decides "SCREW THIS! I'M LEAVING EARTH!" after pseudo-Lois kept constantly trying to expose his true identity.

[@raym1477]

The issue is "Astro City: Local Heroes" #2 if you want to look it up.

[@mediumjohnsilver]

I did spot the unrealistic iron lung arrangement where the device really should enclose the patient up to the neck. But given the weak attachment these Lois Lane stories seem to have with reality, I chalked it up to sloppy writing. That’s not to say they aren’t fun, though. Yes, we can sit back and laugh at Lois. Why not? Superman does.

[@jwrush]

If I were Jimmy Olsen there is absolutely no way that I would ever put on a prisoner's uniform. Too risky.

[@antheathetiefling8581]

"Don't lie to Paul like that" The level of sass! It's..it's over 9000! 😱

[@Tiggeralt]

So Lois is less of a volunteer nurse and more of an emotional support animal. My guess for the iron lung thing was that he was secretly an alien who looked human from the waist up.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

Now that you say it, that's actually more plausible!

[@RennocD]

Always up for another Lois Lane (almost) marriage!

[@euansmith3699]

Dying Man sounds like the most angsty superhero ever 😆 Though I do remember a character in British war comics who had a bullet lodged close to his heart, that could shift and kill him at any moment, leading him to become fatalistic and suicidally heroic; a bit like the film "Short Time".

[@positivelyshocking5283]

The part where sleep-talkers aren’t allowed to be CIA agents is a real thing Also I can’t believe there was a spy named Hunt and I haven’t seen one Mission Impossible reference in the comments yet

[@unripetheberrby6283]

"Crimey" 😂 There's so many parts in this issue where I laughed out loud And yeah, it definitely is filler-y.. When you'd mentioned that Lois noticed something, I looked hard at the image and did see the detail. Cool he was always a trickster!(though I thought his compliments were sweet)

[@JOSHISRANDOM]

Paul stealing all the heroes’ girls. First Superman and now Spider-Man. When will it end 😭

[@Xehanort10]

6:32 Perry in the background watching the drama unfold.

[@MRPandoraHartDR]

What made me laugh was that well Lois fallng for an iron lung patient cos he's handsome, just reminded me my guy's mother actually first saw and fell for his dad, when the guy was laid out as a patient in the operating theatre, getting his leg amputated after a serious car crash and she was a nurse assisting with his operation!

[@TimPoultney]

Lois: "Oh Jimmy... Superman refuses to marry me because of his ReSpOnSiBiLiTiEs or something... But this house brick... There's something about it that fulfils my emotional and romantic needs!" Superman: **assorted gutteral wheezing, quiet yet dignified sobbing and Esperanto curses**

[@nctpti2073]

There is also the question of how they could wheel this fake Iron Lung in without any hospital staff ever checking its function. Did he even have so much as even one doctor assigned to him? With no other care than just a nurse talking with him, why would he have needed a hospital room at all? Was their plan right from the start to somehow convince Superman to fly them out? How long were they expecting to wait for him to be available? So many questions :D

[@markshulusky6680]

Lois' history as a fickle, shallow husband-chaser is catching up with her. It's become so widely known that criminals are using it as a tool, to manipulate her into being an accomplice in their schemes.

[@bobhart677]

I love the Lois Lane content. The focus on love and marriage with super hero elements is so odd to modern sensibilities. Yet I remember echos of that age from my own childhood. Even more than the comics you choose to delve in to, is your presentation. I am a bit of a you tube junkie, and I have watched dozens different comic related channels. You are at the top of my top 3.

[@jermainekngdom3154]

I felt a little gaslighted. I knew you couldn't move your arm in a iron lung. But I thought maybe I was wrong.

[@benjohnson9224]

Me reading the video title, “Of course a dying man can woo Lois Lane. A good looking statue could woo Lois.”

[@tess4940]

Maybe they said it was “lead-lined” so Superman wouldn’t bother to x-ray it because he’d just assume he couldn’t?

[@alionfish5]

Or maybe he played along just to spite on Lois ?

[@nirman423]

Honestly it's a good twist.... I just thought that the artist didn't know/took artistic license with the iron lung machine for the sake of the story

[@JKevinCarrier]

Never mind spotting the discrepancy, most of your younger viewers are probably going, "WTF is an iron lung?"

[@hope-cat4894]

They grew up on SpongeBob. They can remember that episode with the iron butt and use that as a frame of reference. 🤭

Props to the comic for picking Mexico for the expert surgeon when us doctors all chickened out. No expert European doctors for this comic - respect for the excellent medical schools of Latin America!

Love Silver Age Lois! Kurt Schaffenberger was really a great artist. As oddball as some of these stories get he consistently drew attractive, fun, witty panels packed full of life and characte.

[@f12mnb]

This is great! Silver Age Superman and Batman are great. This plot is actually clever. I noticed the iron lung issue but figured it was just an artistic error / license thing, like how in movies and TV they rarely show someone intubated and always have people propped way up when in most cases they should be lying flat. Please keep this up and make a separate play list for these episodes.

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

"Can A Dying Man Woo Lois Lane? The Answer Is Yes" is also the title of the next article Clark submitted to the Planet after this.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

I am NOT a medical professional. That said, I thought you had to be up to your neck -- or at least upper chest -- in an iron lung for it to work properly. *EDIT→* Sasha covers this at about 08:10 in this video.

I thought the way the Iron lung was placed was weird, below the lungs. But I thought they could have been taking liberties for the story. Favorite Sasha Quote: All of them. Lol snoring sounds were funny too

After remembering the Silver Age - is it any wonder men got a bad rap on how they treated women?

[@ivane5110]

Kurt Shauffenberger will always be one of those artists that just having his work attached to a story will make it fun for me to read. Grew up with his Captain Marvel art (new and reprint), his Mr and a Mrs Superman and Superboy's new comic once the LSH swiped his title from him. It was always fun and exciting as a kid, but also was relaxing as well curling up with one of his books. Lois and Jimmy's comics too, but I think I'm getting more appreciation for those thanks to this channel. But the ones that really are a great rollercoaster are the sci-fi anthology he did (Strange World's?). They're hit or miss for the gems, but going in with the right frame of mind and they're all more diamond than rough.

[@michaeldebellis4202]

I love your Batman voice!

[@Xehanort10]

3:02 If Lois went to the Marvel universe and had Jonah Jameson for a boss she'd probably leave him to die.

[@jpboursaw4469]

This had me chuckling, nay giggling from the cover and first panel BECAUSE: Considering all the Super people/Mere people stories, Aqualung as a follow up was definitely a missed opportunity! In the first panned displayed, while Lois is complaining about who can/not marry her and why, Perry’s first thought is “Lois likes Hunt!” Practically invites you to make up your own joke. Also: really Lois? A guy in an Iron Lung? Must you compound your crimes!?! And Perry was ready to help, but only after dinner. True, the life and death situation was a hoax, but he didn’t know that at the time! Or did he? Great Caesars Chicken a la Poule!!!!

[@jonnjones8263]

Lois Lane is a much worse love interest than I initially imagined.

Reminds of the Green Lantern villain who was in an iron long that sent a missile shaped like himself at Hal that then hit Hal so hard that he split into his two different personas. Was there a weird obsession with iron lungs in the 60’s?

[@lemonherb1]

Let’s be honest here, anyone or anything that can string together more than three words can woo Lois Lane of this era The whole “Superman’s Girlfriend” subtitle is just misdirection.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

Less than three words. There was that monster from another dimension...

[@johnfeer9609]

At least Lois Was permitted to figure out the mystery this time, as idiotic as the premise really was, normally Lois is being rather easily bamboozled by stalkerish shapeshifting aliens, 5th dimensional imps or else is being traumatized repeatedly by Superman (her alleged boo) in the namd of “teaching her a lesson”. This was the silver age for Lois Lane, otherwise Schaffenberger artwork was preemo.

[@SuperSongbird21]

I started to get a little suspicious when they said that the only guy who could save Hunt is some Mexican doctor. Superman in other stories could learn how to do surgery in, like, a day and do the operation himself (helps that he has X-ray vision and doesn't have to rely on cameras shoved inside the patient) - maybe in a different version of this story Lois would plead him to do that, Superman angsts for a few pages over how Lois will go off with Hunt if he agrees but decides to anyway ("I love her . . . so I must let her go!" kind of deal) but then they get suspicious when Hunt refuses to accept help from Superman and keeps insisting it has to be the Mexican guy.
