Does Clark win awards in some renditions? When I was growing up he was a Typesetter. He corrected typos and grammar for a living, on an actual typewriter.
That's the most forties thing I've heard about Superman.
(Only, that's not a typesetter. Seems rather to be an editor. A typesetter put letters in a printing press, or did page layout with computers in early digital era before WYSIWYG. The profession is probably obsolete now.)
Heh, me too. I was like, isn't Lois Lane the award winning journalist and Clark Kent is somewhere between her gopher and mentee? But then there's lots of different stories by lots of different authors. I guess maybe they originally thought Clark Kent was as far from Superman as you could get, being less than a woman. Dame.
