A three-panel comic. Panel 1: An old woman points and shouts "HELP! THAT MAN STOLE MY PURSE!" as a purple-haired thief runs off down a street; a dark-haired man in a suit stands by, a Superman emblem peeking from under his open shirt. Panel 2: Superman, now in full costume, swoops down and grabs the purse back from the fleeing thief, looking fierce. Panel 3, captioned "EARLIER...": Superman stands looking annoyed as a woman in pink insists, "YOU'RE NEARSIGHTED! NOW, PUT ON YOUR SPORTS GOGGLES!" Superman protests, "SUPERMAN DOESN'T WEAR SPORTS GOGGLES!" The joke: the mighty hero is too vain to wear corrective eyewear. Votey: A close-up of a bespectacled optometrist, exasperated, snapping at someone off-panel, "STOP LAUGHING! STOP IT!"
