Itās in the Super Dictionary, a flawless piece of literature that has such other wonderful situations such as cake theftā¦
shoe-stealing whalesā¦
Green Lantern and Green Arrow fleeing an angry mob (also a duck is involved)ā¦
andĀ āplease help me.ā
One of my greatest regrets is not owning this book.Ā
Some more highlights from the Super Dictionary:
Superman is friends with a giant who has no teaspoons.
Green Lantern looks at animals.
Joker and Batman are dating.
Robin gets tied up a lot.
Robin in general has a very bad time.
Supergirlās text saysĀ āafraidā but her eyes say something else entirely.
Superman invites literally everybody he knows to come and watch Lois Lane sleeping.
Lesbians.Ā
Superman gets trapped in a bubble. Not a kryptonite bubble, just a regular soap bubble.
And Green Arrow plans to murder a child.
I could post dozens more of the strange situations (like Atom going on a date with a bee, Green Lantern LOSING HIS SHIT over a child trying to pick his flowers, some strange fetishy stuff with giants, Batman refusing to get down off the table, Wonder Womanās continuous battles against pterodactyls, and Supergirlās forays into paleontology), but thatād take forever and this post is already pretty long. The Super Dictionary is a wonderful acid trip of a book and I have never regretted purchasing my copy. If youād like to see some scans, thereās more of them here!
The repetitive synonyms are such a good way to learn new words!! This is so cute and I love it
I inherited my brotherās copy of this as a child and my god it was one of my favourite things
I found my copy in a charity shop in London and I thank my lucky stars every time I read it.
It even made it into DC continuity. Ā Thatās a young Lex Luthor below.
