I've mentioned before that I love the old 1950s Lois Lane comics because they're gloriously awful with some of the most ridiculous writing and plotting ever - but sometimes I just feel angry on behalf of any girl who read these at the time. Bad enough all the comments about Lois wanting "what every girl wants, a husband, house and babies" but when the titular character gets lines like "any girl would rather have a pretty face than a super brain - if she's really smart!"... *fume*

I am amused that every letters page has someone calling for Lois to get a good spanking, though.
