Okay, I just discovered this today, so I apologize if you guys already know about it. It's hilarious! Here's a Link to the first one. Current ones: JL8 - a Webcomic Warning: Clark likes Diana in this strip, but I figure he's a kid, he has time to get more mature tastes. <<Like Lana, she's just a phase he's going through>> If anyone knows who the blonde girl "Karen" is, could you please enlighten me. Thanks. edited by amciotola for image size.

Karen Starr AKA Kara Zor-El AKA Power Girl Clark's cousin [/b]Um.... okay. That explains the comment I read where someone said "she's his cousin". I'm like WHEN did WW become Superman's cousin? LOL. It's funny that they call SuperGirl, Powergirl in that other dimension (would that be the other dimension where Clark actually married Lois back in the 70s?) because I just read a comic from the late 1950s where Lois dreamed of getting Superman's powers (blood transfusion) and called herself "Powergirl". And then she helped Clark out by giving him a blood transfusion (it's a DREAM, I'll remind you) and he called himself "PowerMan", but he was inept hero. Well, I guess this just means that Justice League needs to recruit some more women in their ranks. I nominate Ultra Woman! Anyone second? Hee-hee. Wouldn't that put a damper on Superman's relationship with WW?

This is great! I just read 25 of them all at once. I can see this becoming a new addiction.

I remember this one. It's funny. I initially found this comic posted onto someone else's website, but there was a lot of other images on there (not all kid appropriate) so I searched until I found the legit page. I wonder if Karen knows she's Clark's cousin. Probably after Diana starts dating Bruce and Bruce starts his self-regime of cootie-shots to endure it. (I moved this from the Wrong Clark thread to where it will be helpful to more people). The above link is to the missing #16 comic.

This is the newest comic I've added to my "read every day" list and joins Love and Capes, Dilbert, and Calvin. While I've thoroughly enjoyed the comic, in the three weeks I've been reading it I've found the update/publish schedule to be all over the map. I notice that instead of "Updates on Monday and Thursday", today it says "Updates about twice a week".
Can't do anything about it, just venting.

Can't do anything about it, just venting. Yeah, that's frustrating, but like the rest of us, I'm sure the artist/writer has RL issues that get in the way, especially since it's basically a fancomic. I, too, have found JL8 very addicting.

Yay to a new one! BTW, I've found that this site displays the images in a much more legible fashion. (They're higher resolution, and can be made large enough to read clearly.) Joy, Lynn

Today's comic was cute. I thought I'd share.

That does bring up a good point. For example, in L&C how did Clark know it was safe for him to swallow a bomb in the Pilot.

I just read this and thought it might apply to Lois as well. It captures so well Clark's character.

When I saw Diana hit Clark with the sword, I was a bit surprised that it didn't cut him. I thought it might be a magic sword, like the one she had in Kingdom Come. I can't find a picture to link to, but at one point Superman and Wonder Woman are sitting in space chatting, and he is admiring her sword and manages to cut his hand on it. She comments that he was always vulnerable to magic. I figured in this comic Clark would get a little cut and be surprised about it. I like what he says about there not being many people who attack 8-year-olds with swords.
"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)

I'm a bit disappointed with the JL8 Archive--the latest link is to #122.

The latest one! http://limbero.org/jl8/133 After the recent upheaval in romance town during Diana's birthday, things could now get really messy with the first non-secret-identity member of the clique in town. Michael

One a week is better than none a week. And things will definitely be getting interesting now. (Not that they weren't before, but what can I say? IMHO, Clark belongs with LL, NOT WW...One of the reasons I haven't gotten very much into the New 52. I saw that there will actually be a new Superman/Wonder Woman comic book series coming out.)
Joy, Lynn
p.s., I loved the nod to John Byrne -- the person who is most responsible for the Superman universe upon which Lois & Clark was based -- in the strip.

Perfect! Just caught up (I've been going along at about 10 at a time...) and I can't wait for more Lois already!
