Jimmy Olsen: site under imminent immanent semi-permanent construction

[Meryl]

I'm getting a whole new picture of Jimmy Olsen, kid reporter.  He seems to have had plenty of inner demons to exorcise!  Be sure to stick around, Paul...

I'm guessing the reader is expected to identify with Jimmy and work out all his "Superman" issues via the comic book!  Fascinating!

(Love that Jimmy retains his green outfit even while destroying Metropolis. Has he left his Hushpuppies at the water's edge?)

Hmm, I'm seriously beginning to question both Jimmy's and Superman's judgment as to whether it's worthwhile to maintain a relationship with such a high maintenance best friend.

I think we all feel a bit that way, sometimes, yes? Especially in New York! How lovely instead to move to the desert
and live on the top of a column for 40 years!

Well, New York does has its advantages. And when nothing else will do, we can always use this wonderful new formula:

"Behold! The fires burst forth against my accusers!"

(That should do the trick!)

Erm...John, I think these comic books are affecting you more than you realize...  

I'd suggest you take some quiet time...

It's the stress, you realize....

Me semble, ma soeur

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen
by "Jack Kirby" (Jacob Kurtzberg)

What the--?!...

Me semble, ma soeur, part deux

From Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #128,
Hal Rand, a man (left) who looks like an older version of Jimmy (right),
is offering to "adopt" him as apparantly his real dad died a while back in South America.

Holy cow!
A Beau Breedlove - Sam Adams pairing--?!
But...

--just as they are about to sign the papers--

Superman shows up and reveals that he has discovered...
Jimmy’s Dad being worshipped as a god by Aztecs… 
Hunh! What??

Well, Whew!
That's all right, then!
Except...
Jimmy wonders...

("Do I have to give back the Philippe Patek wrist watch?")

"You never actually own a Patek Phillipe. You merely look after it for the next generation."

What an alarming paternity saga!  I'm sure there will be many more angles on this story.
