In case YOU'RE having a bad day

I defy anyone to find another literary work that features the line, "That hobo is selling my pants!"

Are you seriously calling a Superboy comic book a "literary work"? Jeebo Aug 2020 #1

I dunno. I still think a bit more context is needed. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2020 #3

Context needed here, of course, but how does this one comic book frame relate to your title about having a bad day? Who's having a bad day in that one frame? Also, Superboy's uniform has two tears on the right shoulder. I thought it was made out of invulnerable fabric from the planet Krypton? So how did it get torn? Lots of other questions raised by this comic book frame, but I won't go into them...

that when a hobo somehow gets ahold of your pants and sells them to a weatherman, that's kind of the definition of "a bad day." Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm guessing the hobo desperately needs the money, which Superboy probably doesn't. Superboy probably has more than one pair of pants, which the hobo doesn't.

What's the next frame?
