2024 Comics Fun Advent Calendar, Day 24: And, unto us, a Superman is born!

Yeah, he has super vision but not in the back of his head!

We all know that Superman is Jesus, right? So much has already been written about the parallels between the Lamb of God and the Man of Steel that I don't really have to rehash it all for you here. Suffice it to say, many people have seen the Superman mythos as a Christian allegory, even though the character's creators (Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster) were Jewish. I've gotta admit, the theory makes sense. John and Martha Kent, for instance, make pretty plausible stand-ins for Joseph and Mary. Superman even died and came back to life, just like Whatshisname.

Anyway, I couldn't think of a better way of ending this 2024 Comics Fun Advent Calendar than a whole bunch of Superman parodies, again mostly drawn from Comics Outta Context. Enjoy and have a lovely holiday season!

I hope you don't mind that I threw in one Supergirl comic.

Clark has a good point.

"Yeah, I'm not gonna do that, chief."

Did you know Enid Coleslaw is an anagram of Daniel Clowes?

That's enough to outrage anybody!

Clark and Lois keep things fresh through role-playing.

Superderp.

Well, are you? Answer me, St. Louis!

Oh, great, now I'm hungry. For a planet made of s'mores.

I can't see! I can't see! I got my eyes closed!

You know Bruce Wayne does this, right?
God, I miss Fred Willard.
