Superman factoid: In the original comics, Superman could “leap tall buildings in a single bound”. But when the TV show started, he could suddenly fly. The comics decided to change and made him fly also.

/// Bending over, Urs faced to one side,
so the leapfroggers spread their legs wide.
The boys played these fun sports

A photo of Urs milliseconds before he caught a knee to the temple. His only participation in games thereafter was being used as second base.

Actually, there was no need to come up with an alternate title for this painting. ‘Boeckligumpen’ is funny enough.
