    Even Superman needs to work smarter not harder.

    On the bright side, think of how much more time he'll have to fight evil and save the world during those two weeks he's on furlough!

    If he takes a severance package, he doesn't even need to be Clark Kent anymore!

    OK, Clark... We need you to start shooting your own photos. Can you also upload video to the site as soon as you're done? Also, we no longer have any copy editors so be careful with those commas. And, we had to let Lois go...

    If Peter Parker can take his own photos of Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle, why can't Clark Kent do the same for the Daily Planet?

    Well, since Superman can make the earth reverse orbit, and turn back time a la Superman I, he should have no issues doing everything and making deadline. :D

    Sorry Clark, you can't have a raise this year. The Warfields need bigger bonuses.

    Oh, my, a Quest for Peace reference.

    On a tangent, for those who actually work for a living and don't read comic books while on welfare (like I do), one interesting subplot of the new Superman comics is the ethics of Clark Kent covering his own exploits as Superman. I didn't find out the resolution before quitting the book, because the new 52 sucks.
