Superman's Watchmen parody

This is from Adventures of Superman #496, written by Jerry Ordway and illustrated by Dennis Janke (and co-plotted by the both of them).

The beans are the best part.

While the Watchmen parody is great in itself, what I find even funnier is the image of Lex Luthor crying as he eats pork and beans right out of the can.

With a hook, no less.

It's sort of beautiful.

I have to say this looks more like a homage than a parody.

It's a Mr. Mxyzptlk story, which (post-Crisis) are often *both* Homages and Parodies.

"What are you, a comedian?"

Definitely parody.

Oh man, Sad Luthor is great. My favorite part is that he appears to have an autographed picture of...himself.

Note the sign that says "it's all a lie"...."the pork and beans are a lie!"

I just realized that I read this comic when it came out, before I'd ever heard of Watchmen.

I'm having some crazy weird retcons in my brain now.

He gets throw out/ off of things a lot.
