An SMBC comic. A bald supervillain in a suit boasts to Superman about a three-stage weapon to bring France 'to its knees': stage one, a sonic pulse shattering every window in Paris; stage two, a heat pulse hot enough to melt all cheese while leaving people alive to watch; stage three, explosively firing sodium citrate to emulsify the melted cheese into AMERICAN CHEESE (shown as a yellow block with a tiny American flag). The villain laughs maniacally. Superman says 'Wait really? Actually that sounds fine to me,' and flies off cheerfully to 'get some tater tots to go with it,' abandoning the villain. A Daily Planet newspaper reports 'FRANCE DEVASTATED BY CHEESE-ALTERING BOMB / Superman is unfortunately from American Midwest, say experts,' with Superman holding cheese by the Eiffel Tower under the caption '"It's great on white," says Man of Steel.' Votey: a close-up of a smiling Superman adding, 'It's nice with peanut butter too.'
