By looking through the windows of their souls? Lulu / Lori / Loisette: No! You may NOT look under my shirt. [/Quote] Wait, who is this Lori you speak of?

Wait, who is this Lori you speak of? /points at Nan’s Home Series. It’s available as epubs, too. Oh her. I actually did read the first three or so instalments in that story. I had forgotten her name.

It depends on the writer's style. /is not so sure about indigenous tribes living inside the Amazonian rainforest/ Still think it would be frowned upon. I can see the differences of the two universes actually started way back further than Clark originally thought. What? You think they would've let him take a peek?

/points at Nan’s Home Series. It’s available as epubs, too. Yep, that's the one I was referencing. Ken also uses Lori in his Matchmaker series.

ER: Right. /checks Wikipedia/ sheet of skeletal muscle. EW: Speaking about this name... Now that I know more about Superman's comics canon, and know he was once in love with a mermaid named "Lori", it's kind of surprising that Lois would came back with that name. (Clark really likes the letter "L" doesn't he? Must be some subconscious thing dating back to him being a Kal-"el", so he thinks every woman who's name starts with "L" must be his. It's why Mayson never stood a chance, and why he really shouldn't have been flirting with Linda. Right? ) EW: You should really finish it! It's a terrific series.
ER: I know. But I’ve got so much stuff to catch up on so I can’t get to everything right away Um... Michael, haven't you read Nan's Home series? <<I think you're the one who recommended it to me>> Or did you mean Ken's story. Yeah, that has some twists and turns in it too.

I do not remember her name, but since at some level she was the key to Clark and Lois calling off their engagement in the comics, which at least accroding to some things I have read is why they did the clone-arc instead of having the actual marriage at that point in Lois & Clark, I dislike her on multiple levels so don't bother to find out her name. That said, since Linda's last name was King, she had no chance of become Clark's love insterest. Now if her name had been Linda Ling, she would have had a good chance. Anlong with Lena Losonova, Lucy Liu and lots and lots of other women with double l names.

According to the comics I just read from the late 1950s (doubtfully the ones to which you refer) back when Clark was in college (Met U, strangely enough) he met a woman by the name Lori Lemaris, who was in a wheelchair. He fell in love with her and asked her to marry him, upon which she told him that she was from Atlantis and had to return to the sea. <She had figured out he was Superman, BTW>. He never saw her again. <well, not to the point and time of when the flashback occured.> Now, if Lori had reappeared while he was engaged to Lois and they had kissed, YES, I could understand why Lois would dump Clark and run off to Europe and do uncover investigative work. I'm not familiar that storyline <why Lois went away>, but I thought it had to do with Clark revealing his Super side to her and her being ticked off that he had been lying to her for 50 years. So, I don't see how Lori Lemaris could have anything to do with the clone-arc. Actually, the marriage in the comics happened BEFORE LnC got married (S4). It happened during the clone-arc marriage. The set it up to be at the same time, and I've read that the fans <<and comic book writers>> were terribly upset that the LnC marriage was a sham, while the comics one was real, as they were BOTH supposed to be real.

But there's so much stuff going on and also, it's fun to forget as much as possible before rereading. /mutters about needing to *finally* reread the Thrawn Triology/ Actually, is it still rereading when you read it for the first time in English instead of the translated version. So, yeah, that's now over a decade that I've last read it. 15 years? Umm... but I disgress. I was nervous about the premise of Nan's Home series as well (due mostly to her HUGE Author's warning at the beginning), but after reading it I found Nan's writing so engaging and compelling, I read through the whole series probably over the course of a week or two. <<ah, those sad days when I wasn't writing an epic>>. She's such an excellent writer able to weave the A Plots and B Plots so beautifully, I feel very

CLARK: That works for me. Looks like he’s finally learned to not even insinuate that his wife might be stupid. At least in her presence. Hey, I've already promised triple digits on this one, Michael

My local comic store just closed , so unfortunately it will be difficult for me to catch up on the prewedding drama that was Lois and Clark the comics. But I could totally see Lori coming back and Clark feeling conflict since he HAD asked her to marry him (at one point).

It was him being too friendly to Lori and Lois getting mad and calling the wedding off because she thought her fiance was too friendly to other women.

That seems like a more than reasonable red flag for Lois to return her engagement ring and go to places unknown. No wonder she calls him "lunkhead".
