Man Not Superman




Man Not Superman was written by Jonathan Goldstein and read on This American Life for NPR. Arthur Jones illustrated the story with individual Post-It notes. The story is about the guy who dates Lois after she breaks up with Superman. Here's an excerpt:

She missed normal men. Lois wanted someone normal. That’s how I won over a class act like Lois Lane — it was the fact that I was a mere mortal. (...) Although they were broken up, Lois and Superman decided to remain friends, and since they traveled in the same circles, I knew it was only a matter of time before Superman and I would meet, and I knew that when we did, by any possible system of measurement, he would destroy me.
