“Eww. I didn’t think Susan was that old.”

“She ain’t. An’ she won’t thank you for thinkin’ so.”

“So who is this dude, anyway, dude? Looks vaguely familiar …”

“Does, doesn’t he? No clue though. Check the filename.”

“Sec … ‘grandadkent.jpg’.”

“Kent? Kent! Of course, dude! Look! Up in the sky …!”

“But I thought Superman came from, like, outer space, and the Kents adopted him!”

“Yeah? Look at that picture again an’ tell me what you believe!”

“Shee …. git yer fingers outa my face! D’y’reckon they knew?

Who knew?”

“Y’know, them! Lois Lane, Perry White … Jimmy Olsen! Hell, Olsen was a reporter!

“An’ if they knew, dude, what then?
