heh, Saturn Girl must be a regular at the pawn shop, she’s down to one ring now you’re in for it now, Krypton Boy. and she’s beaming down below the belt. get ready for…
P O O L B O Y!
skimming bugs and flipping chlorine tablets, Pool Boy fights grime in Lex Luthor’s pool one tile at a time.
Saturn Girl becomes Saturn Queen: what she gains in planet size across her chestological region is lost in the now utter hardness of her face.
And I could be wrong, but SQ bears a striking resemblance to the frowsy, jut-jawed harpie who used to pull draft Stroh’s at Dirty Ernie’s bar in Richmond Kentucky, back in the day.
Why?
Knowing ol’ Kal-Alpo, there, he’s probably the one who ratted his friends out to their parents about the fake IDs, and the beer & coffin nails behind the barn. Instead of being just another episode in their growing up, from then on they were the “bad kids” of the future–constantly harped at for every percieved failing(“Why can’t you be more like that nice Superboy?”), until they decided they might as well live down to their reputation, and become supervillains.
Supe wouldn’t go away. They voted him out of their super hero club, but he just wouldn’t go away. He kept pestering Saturn Girl, sending her cards, flowers, and dropping by her place unannounced at odd times. He would invite himself along with the guys to their trips to ball games, would wash their cars for them, do their homework, take the blame when the principal caught them in mischief.
Man, kryptonite is like pieces of the True Cross… if you assembled all the kryptonite ever seen in the comics, of every color and description, you’d have an entire solar system, complete with moons, asteroid belt, and assorted comets left over. How the hell big was this planet anyway?
Now are these the kids of the previous 3? Or just the junior version of them? If it’s the latter, it’s obvious that they don’t kill Superman now, but do sentance him to death later on (or at least try)
Does Superman ever get a day off? Y’know where nobody is trying to conquor earth, or go after him with leftover kryptonite jewelry, etc.
Hmmmm, I clicked on the picture and was taken to a page in a parallel universe that doesn’t contain the text link and no comments (the category is “uncategorized,” which is sort of like the “aliens can’t bend their finger” signal in some old sci-fi tv show, long forgotten.

Mr. Incredible beat you there:
No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for… for ten minutes!
How many years separate the two comics? The “kids” comic costs 12 cents, the ‘adults” 10 cents. Just curious how many years went by before they revisited the olf one and wrote a pre-quel (anough for a 20% price jump, I guess).
I’m wondering what happened to Cosmic that warrnted the addition of the head bubble. I’m guessing it may be an identified peanut allergy. (http://www.angryflower.com/freshr.gif)
‘Boy, you ditch Saturn Girl at the Interplanetary High Prom, then 30 years and countless henna treatments later, you’ve still got hell to pay.

I suspect that they are jealous of your costume, Supes – theirs is fairly teh ghey. Despite how catty that sounds, really, those costumes are awful.

Saturn Girl appears to be an early adopter of the 1990s miniskirt and leggings look. She’s got the shape for it, too.
Poor Lightning Lad, still wearing a diaper.
What was so great about freaking Scott anyways? And why were DC character always shouting that during the Silver Age?! (Usually on covers)
Wow, Saturn Girl got smacked with a futuristic ugly stick somewhere along the line in her transition to Saturn Queen.

Saturn Girl could use her mental powers to make Supes use the ring on himself. Could they be….IMPOSTERS? GREAT SCOTT!
Is Cosmic Boy wearing a THONG?

Saturn Girl? Is she nearby to Uranus Girl?
well somebody had to go there.
rbj: It’s Uranus Boy… he has a FABULOUS purple number similar to Cosmic Boy’s Pink Outfit. NTTAWWT.
