What is happening?
Well, I’m obviously still spending a lot of mental energy on Superman and his franchise, and I still have notes about things I could write about on here, but I expect 2019 to be lighter on the Superman Thoughts posts than last year.
Why? Well, first of all, writing these on here has been quite successful at getting this stuff out of my head. The need to vent feels less urgent. Secondly, I am investigating a different way to let out Superman Thoughts, of which I will tell you later.
Besides, having to have one of these scheduled every week just adds to the list of things keeping me from completing other things. Can’t have that.
I had the time to draw a picture of that supervillain team I was constructing in previous Superman Thoughts posts. Here is that picture:
I still don’t have a name for this group.
This Month I decided that I am celebrating Superman’s Pal on Twitter with the hashtag #JimmyOlsember.
Here is the back half of that celebration:
13 December:
Prankster and Toyman sabotaged the character customization system in Jim’s new video game, making him take his character’s form. If there’s a downside to being Space Princess JO, Jim hasn’t found it.
18 December:
The Superman Revenge Squad has turned Jim into an insectoid for reasons not yet entirely clear. It is ruining Ron Troupe’s birthday party.
21 December:
To win a bet with Steve Lombard, Jim had Thaddeus Killgrave turn him into a cyborg, but he still has to have the photos from the dog show on Perry’s desk by nine.
22 December:
The Wicked Warlock has turned Jimmy into a snowman as part of a plan to ruin Lex Luthor’s Christmas.
28 December:
A rogue Kandorian scientist wanted to recreate the animals of his homeworld and, to that end, has turned Jimmy into a Kryptonian tri-snout.
30 December:
A member of Jim’s fan club was nostalgic for the old transformations, so he slipped Jim a magic potion turning him to a fat elastic werewolf.
I didn’t have a Superman Thoughts post scheduled for today because I’ve been doing my JimmyOlsember thing to get my Superman energy out this month, but I feel like I’ve got to throw out something. So here’s a picture of Metropolis’s other James Olsens. After all, it’s kind of their month too. Here we see them being nicknamed by regular Jimmy based on whatever surface element of their appearance first catches his eye.
These are the poor suckers who would be killed off if Terminator came back in time to kill regular Jimmy.
This Month I decided that I am celebrating Superman’s Pal on Twitter with the hashtag #JimmyOlsember.
But I gotta be putting something on this site, so here is the same content in a different place:
1 December:
Today Jim woke up as a Rhinoceroman. Everyone is telling him he’s always been a Rhinoceroman and to quit kidding around.
2 December:
An accident during a time-travel mission turned Jimmy into a bigfoot and Superman is too busy fighting Muto to deal with it right now.
3 December:
Jimmy accidentally swapped minds with the Kryptonian robot Kelex. Kelex is seriously considering banning Jim from the Fortress of Solitude.
5 December:
Jimmy managed to get Superman’s powers for a day, but was immediately exposed to Red K which made him lose those powers but gain an extra head and limbs. It happens.
7 December:
Dabney Donovan has turned Jimmy into an amphibioid. Luckily his watch is waterproof.
8 December:
Jim found a magic ring that causes everyone to think he’s Pope James Bartholomew II. I guess someone has to be Pope. Might as well be Jimmy.
10 December:
Gzptlsnz was not impressed when Jim gave her a painting he’d done, so she is teaching him about art by turning him into a living pointillist piece.
13 December:
After accidentally ingesting several beakers of Professor Potter’s Seagull Serum, Jim is trying to make the best of it by keeping an eye on Boss Moxie’s warehouses by the docks.
