This incident would not be out of place in our own dear Super Dictionary.

Stuck a feather in his hat and called it “macaroni”!

But it’s not so fancy that it gets called “famous,” now is it, Ollie?

I bet you’re looking up at Batman’s panel-bursting, swirling cape and just thinking, “Dear God, I need to get me one of those.”

Because we all know that you’re super jealous of Batman.

With that concludes today’s page of The Super Dictionary! Tune in next time for more jealousy driven adventures of Oliver Queen!

That cape is a serious fashion statement.

I mean, it is a pretty sweet cape. And it is quite swirly in this particular shot. But I’m not sure that Batman is famous for his cape.

I think he’s a little more famous for beating the crap out of dangerous psychotics on the streets of Gotham.

But maybe that’s just me.

(And what is going on with that background? Batman’s foot is under it and it kind of looks like a backdrop that is tearing? Is Bruce actually just about to fall flat on his face but he’s just keeping his, “I’m Batman” face on instead of his, “Oh Christ, this is going to hurt” face?)

Hawkgirl loves helping families!

Well that was very kind of you, Hawkgirl. You are a model hero sometimes. I wonder how you helped them. Maybe with your amazing math skills.

I guess we’ll never be sure though!

Where are you off to, Supergirl?

I bet she flew over that familiar city when she was looking for Comet, but who knows.

Maybe it was just one of those times she was flying around for fun, racing butterflies. Or maybe it’s after a pass over the cornfields. She certainly does fly a lot.

Superbaby, you are always dressed for the occasion.

I can’t fault your definition. But there’s something else bothering me.

On the one hand, at least The Super Dictionary isn’t encouraging children to jump out of trees. On the other, it’s still kind of making it sound like it’s not all that bad to fall out of a tree.

Sometimes I wonder about how much you like children, Super Dictionary.

That is one foxy fairy, if I do say so myself.

Uh huh, Atom. You just want to help the fairy find the lost fairies. It has nothing to do with the fact that the fairy you’re riding with is an absolute babe.

Seriously, she looks like she’s straight out of a harem.

…And her wings look like balloons that are…tied to her shoulders.

A day at the fair?! I can hardly contain my excitement.

Aw. How sweet. And also how completely and utterly American.

Just in case you’d forgotten how completely and utterly American this book is. I’m a little disappointed by the lack of mention of apple pie, though.

…But in all fairness, I can’t deny the memories of my own local fair growing up and how it was full of shoddy rides, questionable games, and smelly animals.

(Speaking of “fairness”, I’m a little disappointed in you, Super Dictionary. That is a very useful and common definition of “fair” that you missed out on. Shame on you!)

FACT: The Super Dictionary is ridiculous.

Whoa, there, Super Dictionary. Getting interactive, are we? I’m not sure what I think of that.

However, I can’t argue with your statement that Superman’s boots are red. Because they certainly are.

What fabulous frenzies of fantasy await us with the letter “F”?

I can’t wait to find out!

Wow, I don’t know if I want to see what Wonder Woman saw before she faced away from those men. She looks pretty shocked and disgusted by whatever it was, and that mustachioed guy in the background looks pretty pleased with himself.

Or maybe she just did something stupid or embarrassing, like farting, and that blond guy just told her she was caught on Candid Camera.

We’ll never know, I guess.
