@Titan Up the Defense You brought up the Unwear On The Outside thing on a recent episode

Somewhere in this channel youtube.com/user/skunkap Chris told me that it was because it made Superman look like a Circus Strong Man, and the strong men wore them because when lifting big heavy things their pants split a lot.

Imagine you were lifting a tank over your head and your pants split!

Analysis of comics, both good and bad. Primarily I look at the recurring elements that creators or characters use. It's all just an excuse to drill down on various techniques and comic book history.
