Superman Quits Journalism To Become A Blogger

Superman is quitting the Daily Planet, the newspaper he has worked at since the 1940’s, and will start blogging. DC Comics says Kent will walk out in protest that hard news has given way to too many “soft” entertainment stories.

The publisher has also hinted that Clarke Kent might even go the way of many journalists and become a blogger, in an effort to get his views across to a wider audience. Or possibly to score more freebies and invites to events.

In a leaked panel from Wednesday’s edition of the comic, a disgruntled and disillusioned Kent says:

Why am I the one sounding like a grizzled ink-stained wretch who believes news should be about, I don’t know, news?

New Superman writer Scott Lobdell told USA Today newspaper: “This is really what happens when a 27-year-old guy is behind a desk and he has to take instruction from a larger conglomerate with concerns that aren’t really his own.” That’s how you really stick it to the man, you start a blog.

DC Comics are a little behind the times, as blogging has been around for years and years. One wonders whether future Superman comics will see Clarke Kent battling to post his articles with a dial-up modem, registering a Yahoo! mail account, and investing heavily in Pets.com.
