On the sidelines (as always) two typical Smallvillians enjoy some dimwitted small town speculation as to Gravity Girl's identity. (Mrs. Smallvillian: "Maybe she's hidin' her face 'cause she's a Mexican!") They're both dressed in brown, the official color of Smallville, but today Mrs. Smallvillian is wearing her racy light brown dress and feels positively obscene.

WHaaaa--?!!!
That's impossible!
That's unbelievable!
When did Smallville get a trolley system?
If I'm not mistaken the Smallville trolley was replaced with a 100 station subway system about a year later, with stops at the Central Train Station, the International Airport, the revitalized Seaport, Smallville National Park and the Superboy Museum.
Bonus Word Verification Word: zykefpmd, which is what I exclaim constantly while reading one of these Silver Age Superboy stories.
If Superboy can't tell that's Lana by X-raying her breasts, he's not half the adolescent he ought to be.
Jon and Michaelrbn: Heh. I hadn't even thought about that. But you're right, it makes about zero sense for Smallville to have a trolley. Maybe Lyle Lanley paid them a visit. ("Monorail, monorail, monorail...")
Thatsthespirit: He's probably thrown off by the fact that she's being helpful.
IS there a chance the track will bend?
Not on your life, my Hindu friend!
Lang, lang, lang goes the trollop.
Ouch. *readies huge shepherd's crook to yank MaGnUs offstage before the rotten eggs hit him*
It might be a good exercise to go through a few years' worth of Silver Age Superboy stories to see how many other items like the trolley system and various museums existed in this supposedly "small" town.
Heh... I do have a forcefield against rotten eggs already, don't worry. But I love being vaudevillianly retired from stage.
Michaelrbn: Heh. Yeah, Smallville probably has more tourist traps than New York!
MaGnUs: This "forcefield against rotten eggs" you speak of... it wouldn't happen to be a rain poncho, would it? ('Cause that's what I use.)
Well, yes, but I liked to technobabble it up...
And I totally respect that.
