The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 21, 2023

The same way Superman shaves: heat vision.

During a classics superhero movie marathon with one of uncles, he had a similar question for baby Superman in the 70s movie. I guessed kryptonite surgical equipment.

Either she had them pierced before coming to earth, or she uses magnetic clip on earrings.

A super villain built a red sun chamber to rob her of her powers

After escaping and defeating him she used the room to make herself vulnerable enough to get her ears pierced, then destroyed it

Makes as much sense as anything else I could come up with

You know what’s funny? I had to look up the question online when I wrote this cartoon- just to see what was already out there about Supergirl’s earrings (she does, occasionally, get drawn with earrings). I found online conversations that look a LOT like today’s comment section!

Jewish space lasers!

Kryptonite needle!

Pierced with Kryptonite. That or a red sun laser….?

Same way Superman donates blood….

Clip-ons?

We’re not supposed to question things like that. When reading the comics you have suspend belief.

Her parents had them done, as a baby, before she left Krypton

What would Eddie say?…

or clip on.

Find a 1969 story by Larry Niven, called “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.”

She had them pierced in the bottle city of Kandor.

good one
