Ep.184 – Superman No. 263 (1973)
Unhappy Birthday to You!
Nov 8, 2021
This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée shed some tears for Superman no. 263! Emotionally-repressed Kryptonian Kal-El is forced to celebrate his fake earth birthday because humans won't give up their petty traditions even when it goes against the will of a god. What's the secret reason that Superman privately cries on every sixth birthday? Is it because he's worried My Chemical Romance might break up again? And, in another tale, Supes fights a flaming wolf, which is probably just a metaphor for his rage at having to blow out birthday candles like a pathetic mortal every year.
