>I am curious (BLACKED!)
ftfy

He is, it's just Lois found a machine that would turn her black, dressed herself in a watermelon dashiki then aggressively asked to marry him.
The fact he's not flying off at sonic speeds speaks tomes of his Dalai-like patience for this insane woman.

>>81508039
I have to admit, this is the ballsiest "trick Superman into marrying me" scheme Lois ever pulled. Trying to guilt him into marriage.

>>81508039
He is a fucking alien but it still matters that she is black.

>>81508039
Bitch, I didn't want want to marry you when you were white!

>>81508039
Did "curious" mean something different at that time?

>>81508262
Exactly what he says in the story.

It's a surprisingly good comic, btw. Lois uses mad science to become black and interview a few people that wouldn't speak to her when she was white.
I expected a lot of cringe moments before reading it, but it's nuanced and well-done.

>>81508039
If I were Superman I'll say "With a hairstyle like that, no way!"

>>81509036
The Superman vs. Muhammad Ali wasn't bad either.

Yes people used the word's actual meaning instead of the "I want to fuck this" meaning it has now.

It's a reference to a movie called (for some godforsaken reason) "I Am Curious (Yellow)" which was a big hit for being the most Sixties thing imaginable. It being the Sixties, that was popular at the time.

>>81509012
The comic's name is a reference to this.

How does /co/ know such things?

>>81508039
Black Lois a cute.

>>81509071
>He doesn't like Afros.

>>81509206
Before you can really call yourself /co/, you must attain the deepest Superman lore.

>>81509206
I haven't seen the movie myself, and I don't remember when or where I first heard about it. But it's totally possible it was in some article discussing that Lois comic.

>>81509084
I just remember the bit where Superman had to wear his costume in the ring with Ali because aliens wouldn't be able to tell them apart because they are both humanoid.

Did (black) lois have a bigger butt??

I wish Lois had a line of "I am curious" comics. Like "I am curious (green)" [she becomes a martian]

or

"I am curious (furry)" [she becomes a werewolf]

and so forth

My favourite about this was how he just happened to have this machine never used or referenced again. I like to imagine he still has it at the fortress of solitude.

>>81509161
Which was also referenced in a really good Fall album.

>>81509206
Because our tastes aren't limited to comics.

>>81512088
Obviously he defeated Count Blackula and took his Blackulator away expressly so the he could goad Lois into using it eventually and get a delicious black Lois girlfriend.

>>81508039
Why did they name this after I Am Curious (Blue/Yellow) I know they were big movies, but it's not something kids back then would have watched.

>>81509155
It was two movies Blue and Yellow. It was called that because it was Swedish and those are the colors on the Swedish flag.

Wouldn't stop the adult writers from enjoying those puns. Plus they're tackling race shit so there's a chance they wrote this for adults.

>>81508086
Also that's Silver Age Lois so it isn't like it was even Lois first marriage proposal to Superman that day.

Nah dog, Jimmy is the one who does undercover werewolf reporting.
