Thank you, both!
Ginnie, thanks for that very interesting bit about Joe Shuster. Perhaps explains Superman's fascination with Americans? Happy Canada Day to you!
Brimstone, glad I touched a chord. Thanks!

Was Superman Canadian?
"Yes, Superman had Canadian origins, Joe Shuster, the comic strip artist who created Superman, was Canadian and his early drawings of Metropolis were fashioned after the buildings and skyline of Toronto, his hometown. In 1923 Shuster's family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he met Jerry Siegel, the man who became Superman's writer. The two were only 17 years old when they created Superman in 1933. In 1938, after they had given up hope for its national syndication, Superman was published by National Periodicals in its June Issue No.1 of Action Comics."
Had to add that in witchflower..after all it's Canada Day today! Happy Birthday to Canada! ;) And...I love these daily learning blogs you post!!
