A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: dark city skyscrapers with a tiny caped figure flying between them; caption "It's so much pressure being Superman." Panel 2: Superman flying through a blue sky, hands raised near his head, saying "You know what? I'm gonna develop an alternative persona based entirely around my workplace humiliation fetish." Panel 3 (banner reads "AND SO..."): bespectacled Clark Kent asks a dark-haired woman, "Lois, would you like to, you know, get a cup of coffee some time?" She laughs, "With you? Oh Clark, you're so funny." Panel 4: Clark grimaces and sweats against a red background, saying "Gee, Lois!" The joke is that Clark Kent's mild-mannered, perpetually-rejected alter ego is Superman indulging a humiliation fetish. Votey: a close-up of a contented, smiling Clark Kent thinking, "Now to ask Mr. White for a raise" - eager to be humiliated again at work.
