Lois keeps screwing around so much across so many flights, that she eventually does slip.
On her way down, she blissfully thinks "hahaha, I've really got Clark tied around my finger!"

Meanwhile, Kal-El is thinking to himself: "you know... I'm still not totally sure that looping around the planet and reversing time was the perfectly-right decision (as seen in Superman ), mainly in order to save Lois' life.

"Now, what am I going to do, here," he ponders.....

"Clark... Superman... Kal-El... I'm over here! I'm WAIT-ING, dumdum!"
(Lois is routinely used to falling from high heights, but oddly, it's her BF's lack of immediate attention that's pissing her off)

Kal-El ponders a bit more about the intrinsic nature of their relationship, the ins & outs, the costs to him as a person over the years, until a tremendous *THUMP* is heard.

It seems that Lois, in the meantime, has formed an interesting new crater-formation in the New Mexican desert.

"Oh gods!, oh no!..." hmmmm, but actually (he thinks to himself) I always did love New Mexico's archeological history. :D

Supe-surfin'!

And in case anyone of the downvoters were wondering, that's my own dark-humored prose at work, not an LLM or whatever.

TBH, the whole thing kinda stems from Margot Kidder doing such a fantastic job as a brassy, borderline-annoying-AF Lois Lane in the original films, plus the fact that I lowkey came to hate Marvel-DC comics.

That's all JohnnyEnzyme text above, folks. :D

So, what did it look like before the edit?

Same ol', same ol'!

Ah so it's not an edit, but a redraw?

Yeah, it's probably best-described as a parody of this recurring situation. Callen has a whole series of these at his blog, and I find them hilarious.

Unfortunately I blew through too much of my pure edit material early on, so have to kind of mix in adjacent stuff in order to post on a semi-regular basis.
