My GOD, Richie, they have gone to bed hungry *so* many nights. Give them money.

Sick story in this one where Richie is bedridden with measles. Despite having already had measles, Freckles and Pee-Wee are quaratined with Richie at his mansion for ten days while their parents back home work themselves into a shame spiral for their state of woeful poverty.

Well, Richie's a growing boy.

Fucking love Daredevil's rogues gallery. One of these guys is his tailor.

Say, @nancycomics.bsky.social -- This November 20, 1955, Gordo strip by Gus Arriola includes a sneaky Nancy cameo. Can you help me pinpoint the date on which Sluggo's iconic "Break it up, break it up" strip first appeared?

Ah, every time they announce another "Little Batman" series, I remember that I am a trendsetter.

Honorable Mention: Ferlin Nyxly, aka "Pan," is probably the only Superman foe I know of with an apparent comb-over, or at least that's how it looks to me. But if you dress like this, a receding hairline is the least of your troubles.

#13 And finally, who would win in a fight between W.C.Fields and the mighty Man of Tomorrow? Well, that's the question posed by J.WILBUR WOLFINGHAM, a pudgy little con artist who's caused Superman some super-headaches time and again since the 1940s.

#12 DOOMSDAY. It is objectively hilarious that the creature that killed Superman has Male Pattern Baldness. How bad are the bald? TRULY DEADLY, IT SEEMS.

#11 MONGUL. Frankly, co-creator Jim Starlin only employs three mens hairstyles in his character designs, so the warlord of Warworld is lucky to have gotten out without an afro or "The Shaun Cassidy." Anyway, Superman's toughest foe, he's racked up more draws and losses with Mongul than anyone else

#10, GENERAL ZOD. Terence Stamp's portrayal established a slicked-back head of black hair that's carried on to the character today, but back when? Based visually on Mussolini, Zod was one of those bald guys who can't bring himself to be seen without a hat, altho he was ambivalent about pants.

#9 Krypton has its own supply of bald villains, including JAX-UR, who was clearly originally intended to be Superman's major foe among the Phantom Zone villains. Pleasingly, the mustachioed menace also bore a big bay window, an all-around middle-aged malefactor.

Well, the art for the Yellow Mask ad and Zolar story were coming out of the Joe Shuster Studio around the same time that artist Leo Nowak mistakenly depicted Luthor as bald for the first time in 1941. The abundance of closely-shorn foes undoubtedly led to Nowak's confusion ... and Luthor's legacy!

#8 THE YELLOW MASK, the closest thing that the Adventures of Superman radio program had to a recurring super-villain. Despite his scientific getup, the Mask was largely a crimelord, whose antics tended to spy stuff or land swindles.
So what is it that the Yellow Mask has in common with Zolar...?

#7 ZOLAR, a golden-skinned nogoodnik who was one of just dozens of sadistic scientists with shaved heads Superman met in his first decade of existence. Appearing only once, the inzidious Zolar zhares zomething in common with the next bald baddie ...

#6 BLACK ZERO, the fiend who killed Krypton! In addition to a massively depilated melon, Zero -- who claims to have been responsible for the destruction of Superman's homeworld -- also boasts fangs and pointed ears. A villain so bald they had to make a diagram of it, observe:

#5 By contrast, however, THE PERNICIOUS PARASITE is definitely just old school losing-his-hair. "Icy" Harris (it's short for "Isotope") is a specialist thief who gains parasite-powers from a radioactive haul. He becomes so powerful that Superman has no choice but to deliberately make him explode 💥

#4 THE PARASITE, arguably Superman's baldest foe. Janitor Max Jensen exposes himself to a deadly radiation while looking for some money to steal, just so you know not every bald villain is a genius. Scarred from head to toe, he's more "tragically disfigured" than "bald," perhaps, but he ain't hairy.

#3 MUTO, MONARCH OF MENACE was so bald they had to give him a bigger head. "The sniper's dream," they called him. Muto is the arch-nemesis of the Future Superman of 2966, whose deadly vulnerability is "getting wet."

#2 GRAX
Ostensibly an even more Brainiac-y Brainiac than Brainiac himself, it's the rare "Double-Reverse Brainiac with a twist" (The twist is extra arms). The space pirate Grax embarked on a years-long feud with galactic criminal Vril Dox, although it rarely came to much.
