Si, estoy tan saguaro!
I owe Superman an apology.
I am sorry, Supes; I done you wrong. I said, loudly and publically for all the internet to see, that Superman is a cloddish farmboy who can't dance (at least, not anything other than the Shufflefoot Dance).
But, in my own defense, I must explain that that was before I saw.... THIS:
How could I have been so ... so WRONG?!?!?!?
*Sob!*
I apologize, Superman; no one can hollow out a weird-looking cactus, get inside and dance the mambo like you!
P.S. If you're thinking this is one of those "out of context" panels where, if you know the whole story, it all makes sense ... think again. Superman's dancing the Cactus Mambo as part of day-long scheme by Jimmy Olsen to convince some kids not to go uranium prospecting. Really.

So, Scipio, you got a chance to look through the "Superman: Daily Planet" book, yet?
Oh, yes.
But, I mean ... exactly HOW do you make fun of "the Super-Cigars of Perry White"?

I've read that story! It's frickin' AWESOME! I didn't even know uranium came from mines until I read it. Apparently Australia has *2*!
See, this is the sort of event that not only shouldn't be ignored in modern day "continuity," it should be consistently and persistently referenced in Superman and Action, again and again and again...

Laughed out loud twice. First at this panel...

All sorts of prime Lois and Jimmy goodness.

I love the panel in that story where you can see Supe's feet sticking out of the bottom of that cactus body. And no red kryptonite in sight!

I don't think you can make fun of The Super Cigars of Perry White (except to maybe point out that it's probably the only pro-tobacco comic book ever made). I think you just kind of have to let it be.
A haiku to link yesterday with today:
Supe'man and Jimmy
taught Batman and Robin how
to cactus mambo
Holy homoerotica!

Don't forget Clark Kent exhibiting his "Super-Disco Fever" in SUPERMAN FAMILY #196.
