“S” is for Superman!

While I was researching yesterday’s blog, in which I pointed out that Sesame Street used to be indefensibly filthy, I stumbled across some rarely seen Filmation cartoons, made especially for Sesame Street, in which Superman teaches the alphabet and Batman and Robin teach safe street crossing.

Here’s a typical day’s work for Superman, saving shipwrecked sailors on storm-savaged seas, and salvaging a stellar ship from space. (See? I took my “s” lesson seriously.)

Bats Supes Sesame Street

Next, Batman and Robin teach abstract concepts while Batman shows off some trick batarang work.

Lastly, here’s the Dynamic Duo again, this time almost letting the Joker get away because of their stiff adherence to “cross at the green, not in between.”

They call Batman a vigilante? The guy won’t even jaywalk!

The Saturday Comics: Darkseid Likes To Sit Down

Darkseid is DC’s biggest baddie. At least he was until the New 52. It seems like anything goes around the DC Universe now. Is Darkseid a little girl now? Does he even still exist? Maybe G’Nort is the big bad guy of the DCU.

Anyway, for a guy who rules a whole planet and shoots killer beams out of his eyes, Darkseid sure seems lazy. Take a look at all these images of Darkseid lazing around in a comfy chair or spread out on a soft sofa. This the guy who enslaved the Legion of Super Heroes? Seriously?

And while were making fun of him, here’s Darkseid about to get his ass kicked by a couple of guys from Subway.

And lastly, here’s Darkseid working part time at McDonald’s.
