This is from the current issue of DC Super Friends (#9, Jan 2009)... it's page filler but something about it is so stupid/cute that I had to share it. I don't always pick up DC Super Friends because the art is hit or miss, but Clark wanted this issue because the cover is about Superman's birthday. I think that makes this the only DC publication to acknowledge that Superman's 70th birthday (from first publication) was this year.
This page has a great cartoony version of Felix Faust, and I like seeing a character with a demonic backstory doing a cheap number trick in a kids book.
That's the great Ty Templeton doing the art, although his style seems pretty deeply buried in the on-model designs of this sub-franchise. As much as I liked the Batman/Superman/Justice League Animated Universe style, it's nice to see DC branching out into other looks for their all-ages stuff. When does that awesome-looking DCU Elementary series start? Let's look at that one again.
