A Daily Dose of the 1970s in Action
"I came for the cakes. I stayed for the comments." – An Official Review from “Anonymous”
Well he couldn’t have been looking very hard.
If he’d really been looking for a bone, there’d be a hole.
Instead, it looks like Krypto was wandering around the yard and found this lonely little worm minding its own business, and now Krypto’s about to give the poor little fella the old laser vision treatment.
The resemblance is uncanny.

So ends another page of The Super Dictionary. Come back for more cooky adventures next time! Will Krypto fry a worm? Will he eat the fried worm? Will he learn a valuable lesson about letting bygones be bygones?
Only time will tell.
Check out under the cut for today’s full page!
My, my, a mystery so late in the game.
Fortunately it’s an easily solved one:
Yesterday? “Dig” was ages ago! Weeks ago!
But anyway. Let’s take a look:
Ah, he found an old shoe. That’s still really anti-climactic.
Krypto the Snoopy Dog!
Taking a break from pretending he’s various small mammals, Krypto has decided to impersonate fan-favorite dog with a doghouse: Snoopy!
Two more things:
- “But, not many dogs can fly as Krypto can.” Not many? How many other flying dogs are we talking about here? Are you encouraging kids to throw their dogs out of windows to see if their dog is secretly capable of flight?
- “Doghouses are for dogs only.” Not for children. DON’T GO IN THE DOGHOUSE.

While we leave the Red Baron to his flights of fantasy, we conclude today’s page of The Super Dictionary. Come back tomorrow for more high flying adventures, but don’t throw your dog out the window to see if he can fly. He won’t appreciate it, because he can’t.

Wait, Krypto gets served steaks?
Or maybe porkchops? Lamb cutlets? In any case, he apparently eats better than the Kents.
Excuse me, Krypto, but I’m pretty sure I saw you eating from a pie dish that time you stole a pie.
Krypto the talking dog?
Since when can Krypto actually speak? And since when does he eat at the table? But I guess if he’s going to be fancy and ask Comet to “dine” with him, he needs to be fancy and eat at the table.
I thought he and Comet spoke through telepathy.
I do really like Comet’s “Bitch please” expression, and his cape wafting in the wind.
Dig, dig, dig, diggity dig!
(I’m on a song roll today. Just go with it.)
I didn’t know that when dogs find things while digging, they just carry on with the object in their mouths. I’d like to see him try to keep going with that dinosaur femur he dug up a while ago.
I also didn’t know that dogs tunneled like badgers. But maybe they don’t, and Krypto’s just having another identity crisis.
They’re like ebony and ivory!
(See here for cheesy 80s song.)
Now that I have the dulcet tones of Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney stuck in your head (whether you like it or not!), I have to admit that I find no fault with this definition or its example.
Krypto, you look like you just saw a ghost!
Has this suddenly become a horror story? Is the croaking actually coming from zombie frogs? Or a giant monster frog?
All that hatching makes me think yes.
(And why is that butterfly so prominent?)
I bet Krypto and Comet think they’re so “cool.”
Krypto and Comet, you guys are jerks, stealing SR-12’s pies. She worked hard baking those pies all for herself!
And I can tell you’re stealing them, too, Krypto. You’re not a very good sneak and you’re looking pretty devious right now.
I’m just giving him a hard time.
(Don’t worry. I love Krypto.)
If he’s so smart then why is he always bonking into trees and eating their bark?
That doesn’t seem very clever to me.
But I guess you have figured out how to open your own dog food cans. I’ll give you that, Krypto.
