They have a large dry cleaners, just for capes…..

Geography is not your superpower.

Considering that South Africa filed a case against Israel for genocide with the ICJ, I agree with his statement.

Good one, Skyler!

The music video for “Superheroes” by The Script was shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, cited by the band as an inspiration for the song itself.

Ah, another year in 5th grade for Skylar ! ! ! !

Bob: “Yeah. Something classic, like– like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots…”

(Edna throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob’s head)

Edna: “No capes!”

Bob: “Isn’t that my decision?”

Edna: “Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers, nice man, good with kids.”

Bob: “Listen, E–”

Edna: “November 15th of ’58! All was well, another day saved, when… his cape snagged on a missile fin!”

Bob (chuckles): “Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb…”

Edna: “Stratogale! April 23rd, ’57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!”

Bob: “E, you can’t generalize about these things–”

Edna: “Meta-Man! Express elevator! Dynaguy! Snagged on takeoff! Splashdown! Sucked into a vortex! NO CAPES!”

If they all live there, their secret identities won’t be secret anymore.

It took me a while to get this joke. But, not all superheros wear a cape, and some villains do.

Capetown exists as the superhero tailoring and dry cleaning world headquarters.

William Kentridge is from South Africa and to me he’s a hero.

“No Capes!”

30 years ago today Mandela became president.
