Sort of.

See, Lois Lane predates His Girl Friday by a good year and a half, so it's highly unlikely that Rosalind Russell would be the inspiration.

However, His Girl Friday is far from the first adaptation of the 1928 Broadway play - and in 1931, Howard Hughes produced The Front Page, a pre-Code screwball comedy starring Adolphe Menjou as Walter Burns, Pat O'Brien as the still-male Hildy, and Mary Brian as Peggy Grant.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lois Lane was based somewhat on Mary Brian, although I would argue the bulk of her character was based on Joanne Siegel née Kovacs who was Jerry Siegel's original life model for Lois and shared much of her personality.

Now you mentioned i, I am a bit surprised Smallville is prominently and consistently in Kansas? It's Smallville, Kansas. There might be others and certainly cities located vaguely within a real region, but it's definitely the first fictional town or city of D.C. in a real-world American state to come to mind.

So this gets to the weirdness of D.C geography. When Superman was first established, there was much less of a cohesive "universe," so if Siegel and Shuster wanted Superman to specifically be raised in Kansas, that's where he was from and the rest of the geography would have to work itself out.

IMO, this early slapdash approach to world-building has (over time) led to some things that just don't make sense to me as a student of urban history and urban studies:

Metropolis shouldn't be in Delaware. It doesn't make sense in terms of urbanization, given the context of an already-crowded Northeastern Corridor - Delaware simply does not have the capacity to sustain a city of 11 million people, and you wouldn't get a municipality of that size right next door to New York City (as well as D.C's other fictional cities in the area). The whole idea of Metropolis and Gotham being across the river/bay from each other has never really worked for me; you can still do Superman/Batman team-up stories no matter where they are, because Superman can fly and Batman has his own personal fighter jets.

More importantly, it doesn't make sense in terms of historic patterns of urban migration. Moving to the big city in search of the American Dream is a big part of the Clark Kent story, but historically people moving from rural to urban areas overwhelmingly go to the nearest large city, depending on how transportation networks are arranged, whether we're talking about train lines or direct flights or highways or bus routes. There is a reason we can track regional movements of black communities during the Great Migration, because who went where depended on which train lines ran through which states:

This is why I've always felt that, while Metropolis has aesthetically been associated with New York City, it logically should be Chicago. It is the biggest city in the Midwest, one very much associated with robber baron industrialists and corruption at the highest levels, and absolutely stuffed with art deco architecture for Superman to pose on top of. Up until the Tribune Company began to strip it for parts, it's also been a major newspaper town with a long tradition of muck-raking investigative journalism that would inspire a starry-eyed cub reporter like Clark. As one of the original transit hubs and the U.S' own "nature's metropolis," it is precisely the place that a Kansas farm boy would hop a train to, because all trains go to Chicago. Also, culturally I like it better that Clark Kent represents the City of Wide Shoulders whereas Bruce Wayner is the typical Tri-State Area Type-A personality.

Going back to D.C's bizarro Northeast geography, I likewise have an issue with Gotham being in New Jersey...if New York City is also supposed to be a major metropolitan area in the D.C universe. Just as Delaware would struggle to support a city of 11 million people, it would be very difficult to grow Gotham into a city of 10 million people so close to the gravity well of the Greater New York Metro Area. New Jersey is a pretty urbanized state, but its biggest cities tend to range in population from 300,000 to 100,000 - which works very well for a place like Blüdhaven, which is supposed to have something of an inferiority complex vis-a-vis Gotham - because a lot of the population tends to gravitate to NYC for work and eventually housing as well.

I've already said my piece about the lack of cultural specificity of D.C's Midwest.

As far as the West Coast goes, I've always found it a bit odd that Star City isn't where Seattle is supposed to be. Let's face it, the only place where Oliver Queen's facial hair would go unnoticed is Seattle. Also, Coast City is often depicted too far north on the map - if it's supposed to be a half-hour away from Edwards Air Force Base, it should be significantly more southern, down by Kern County and San Bernadino County, not practically up in San Francisco.

Lois has a middle name that starts with J?

According to German Wikipedia it's Joanne, yes. I don't know where they got that from, to be fair, but I see it every time I google Lois for one reason or another, so I figured why not include it.

Finally uploading pictures of the books I made for the Fourth Annual Renegade Bindery Exchange! I'm really happy with how they turned out, and my giftee @robins-egg-bindery loved them!

The first is a compilation of the Teen Wolf fanfic series where thou art, that is home by @shanastoryteller. It's done in black goat leather from Siegel, and I used Cricut foil HTV on the cover. The title page was made in Canva because I have zero actual art skills.

The second was another fanfic series compilation, The Unicorn Frappuccino AU by @theplatinthehat, a Doctor Who/Good Omens crossover. The bookcloth is homemade using batik fabric from Joann, and the stickers and author name on the spine were once again done using Cricut, as was the wavy edge of the blue cloth. I forgot to take pictures of the inside before sending it off, but @quandtuniverse was kind enough to give me permission to use their artwork for the second fic:

This whole event was super fun, and I'm so glad I was able to be a part of it! I can't wait to do more events this year!

Hi,

I make period drama style gifs. If you use gif packs, please like and reblog them. Most of my projects are already ready, but every day I post no more than 190 gifs. Because that was the reason why my previous account was blocked.

I tried to make gif packs in a format more familiar to you with a link to a separate page. However, unfortunately, I did not succeed because of the large format of high-quality gifs.

I want to explain about color processing. Usually, I improve the contrast, brightness and saturation, but leave the naturalness of the film. I don't make the contours too sharp because I like the aesthetic of it looking like a natural image.

So, Superman first appeared in comics in 1938, with in a decade he'd have a radio program, a series of cartoons AND film serials. The radio program was the first major influence on the comics, as it introduced Perry White and Jimmy Olsen, and kryptonite, which was introduced to give the guy who voiced Superman time off by incapacitating the character for a time because remember, the radio show was live not prerecorded. Then comes the animated stuff, which is absolutely insane for Fleshier to have done because they got into it like not wanting to to it, they literally said an obscene amount of money to make ONE short and then the studio that wanted the cartoons sat down to negotiate, and then they're doing this with like not nearly the kind of knowledge they need on drawing people and all, but the first cartoon in the series literally winds up as an Oscar nominated short, and the whole thing in general is also massively influential to the comics because that's where they first depict Superman actually flying. Because simply leaping looked dumb so they went to DC at the time like 'Hey, can we make Superman fly?' and were granted the permission, so hey now Superman can fly.

But want something even wilder than the stuff that got added to canon in the 40s and has stayed pretty much consistent since? Lois's middle name. The woman who was the model for Lois, as in Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel put out an ad looking for someone to be a model for them, how Lois looks is entirely based on Joanne Siegel, who actually married Jerry in 1948. Not only that, but she also inspired some of Lois's personality. It's only fitting that the fictional character she helped to inspire has Joanne as her middle name.

Here's the article:

Executive Producer Josie Campbell Reveals Lois Lane Race-Swapped To Korean In 'My Adventures With Superman'

Created by Ms. Marvel Vol. 3 artist Jake Wyatt and co-produced by Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power writer Josie Campbell and storyboard artist Brendan Clogher, the Studio Mir-animated series follows the early days of Clark Kent’s life in Metropolis as he attempts to balance his secret identity with his developing career as an investigative reporter alongside Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

Making her debut in 1938’s Action Comics #1, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for Metropolis’s The Daily Planet was based off of actress Glenda Farrell’s portrayal as the fictional journalist Torchy Blane and modelled after Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel’s wife Joanne.

Throughout her over eight decade tenure in the DC universe, Lois Lane has generally been depicted as a Caucasian woman.

Similar to other classic DC characters like Jimmy Olsen, the latest anime-inspired iteration of Superman has race swapped the iconic Caucasian reporter to Korean which is the same race as Lois Lane’s South Korean voice actress Alice Lee.

Josie Campbell confirmed the race swap as part of her My Adventures with Superman behind the scenes twitter thread where she revealed Lois Lane’s black tie gala outfit worn in the fourth episode Let’s Go to Ivo Tower, You Say was inspired by a traditional Korean hanbok.

Campbell tweeted, “Also shoutout to Dou Hong and Intindra for Lois’ hanbok inspired gala outfit! We wanted to reflect our Lois’ Korean heritage, and the design department made a showstopper of a fit.”

In a retweet to Campbell, the artist behind the gala hanbok design, Jane Bak aka Intindra, elaborated on her artistic process with the assistance of sketches dating as far back as 2021 confirming Jake Wyatt, Josie Campbell, and Brendan Clogher planned Lois Lane’s Korean race swap during the early stages of My Adventures with Superman‘s production.

“I wanted some time to think about what to say about this outfit in particular,” she explained. “I remember feeling strongly about wanting to inject some aspect of her Korean heritage without disrupting her characteristic as a spunky and resourceful intern/reporter.”

“So why not push the idea she would wear a Hanbok to a Gala/date night?” she continued. “I have to thank @38___sr and Dou Hong for helping spin my hay into gold with Lois’s Gala design and Jake Wyatt, Brendan, and Josie Campbell for letting me go for it!!!”

Bak then tweeted her 2021 initial sketches depicting Lois in a hanbok inspired suit “Aannndddd my first drawings back in 2021 of Lois when I heard she was going to need an outfit for the Gala.”

New episodes of My Adventures with Superman premiere Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim and Fridays on Max.

What do you make of Warner Bros. Animation race swapping Lois Lane?

Here's what I think of the race-swapping of Lois Lane:

And don't you find it strange that the article said that the creators of the show worked on Ms. Marvel and She-Ra. Two shows that have the entire news site up in arms against them. So yeah, not such a subtle way of saying that the creator of this show is evil and if you like you're evil.

So Bounding Into Comics made an article lamenting how Lois Lane is now Korean.

I, for one, thought that the voice actor's race has no bearing on how the character's race. I mean Phil LaMarr and Samurai Jack are the epitome of that.

It's just so fucking tiring to see them complain. They actually ran out of things to say about the show. I made a post earlier about criticisms of the show and they are more juicy and more interesting that whatever the fuck the fuckwads over at Bounding Into Comics are writing.

Joanne Siegel: The Inspiration for Lois Lane | Today (12.2.17), Laura Siegel-Larson celebrates her mother, Joanne, who would have turned 100 this year

Joanne Siegel was Lois Lane. She was the original model for Lois Lane, and it's a very funny story. She told a story that she put an ad in the paper. She got a call; she thought she was going to a modeling agency. [T]hey were going to put a female lead into Superman. [Joe] wanted to see how to do it, so she became Lois. She posed, got her money, and became the original model for Lois Lane. But, more importantly, when people say "Lois Lane," it's her character. It's her tenacity. That's what she really embodied. That's what she certainly embodied later in life where she was sticking up for Jerry at a time a time when he wasn't sticking up for himself. She was always Jerry's champion. She was the one who would go to DC Comics, and just say, "You've got to give him a chance. What you did was not right." She forced their consciences open. If you were to look at Joanne Siegel as Lois Lane, I would not see her as Lois Lane from the comic strips. I wouldn't see her as Lois Lane from the movie serials. I would see her as the Max Fleischer Lois Lane. Or, better yet, the Lois Lane that Phyllis Coates played. "I'm not taking any crap. I'm right here. I'm Lois Lane." And I think she was very much a modern woman, even though it was created 78 years ago. She was actually a very strong woman. -- (Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics)

As someone who's deeply invested in comic books, I'm gonna tell you right now; the stories of the creators of a lot of these beloved characters are just as, if not even more intriguing, than the backstories of their characters.

Batman, for years, had only Bob Kane accredited as his creator, and he would constantly talk about being the sole creator of Batman. It took over 70 years for Bill Finger, the man who most people will tell you did most of the work, to even get his name on the comics. And there were other key players in helping shape and co-create that mythos that Bob brought in as part of his slew of ghost artists and ghost writers.

William Moulton Marston helped create an early version of the lie detector -- something you see highlighted in the Lasso of Truth belonging to his character, Wonder Woman. He also was in a polyamorous relationship, enjoyed bsdm, and believed a female empowerment revolution was coming and he was ready for it.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster were one of the first big fights to get proper crediting and payment to comic book creators. And, fun fact, you can tell pretty heavily that Superman and Clark Kent were based off of Siegel's appearance; and he ended up marrying the model that Schuster modeled Lois Lane off of, a woman named Joanne Kovacs. Which, you got admit, that's just cute.

A literal cult tried to recruit Jack Kirby because they loved his work so much, and he let them into his house and showed off what he'd been working on, while his wife Ros made them lunch. He also had some nazis call him, telling him they were waiting in the lobby for him so they could beat him up, for having Captain America punch Hitler. He literally said "Okay", rolled up his sleeves and headed on down there, with every intention to beat the shit out of them. There was no sign of them by the time he got to the lobby.

Gardner Fox was a New York lawyer and polymath turned writer. He is the reason why we have superhero teams, having created the very first one with the JSA and later also created the Justice League, and he's also the reason why comics, specifically DC, have multiverses. He's also responsible for being one of the lead writers to have gone to rework things in the Silver Age due to the Comics Code Authority and their rules being implemented. He also created Batgirl and did some of the early writing on Batman as well. This man is a legend.

And these are only like just a few examples, there's so many more out there and it can be genuinely fascianting to learn about them.
