In 1978 the Super Dictionary was published.
Various images of DC Comics superheroes and villains were used to illustrate the meaning of different words.
Around the internet one entry illustrating both the number forty and the villainy of Lex Luthor, evil scientific genius and nemesis of Superman, gained minor notoriety.
Lex stealing forty pies and how terrible it all was became a meme.
Recently, some thirty-three years later, this was published in a DC Superman comic.
It points to the vengeful exploits of a young Lex Luthor.
Apparently he took some cakes.
You’ll never guess how many.
And that’s terrible.
As terrible as four tens of cool.
