Originally published in Superboy #71 in 1959, โBad Boy Clark Kent!โ is a fun bit of Silver Age goofiness with a logic all its own. The minute I read this story from the reprint in Adventure Comics #326, I knew I had to share it with everybody.
We begin at Smallville High, where goodie-two-shoes Clark is helping the principal store vaccines intended for the student body. We later find out thereโs some sort of terrible disease going around. They never tell us what it is, and it doesnโt matter anyway. Letโs call it MacGuffinโs disease.
As soon as Clark gets to his first class, the model student goes out the window and is replaced by a prankster who sets a mechanical mouse loose in the classroom. The teacher is willing to let it go, but that proves to be a mistake as the pranks continue. One involves him disrupting a racist history project (completely justified, as far as Iโm concerned), and a really epic one has him stealing the school octopus (which they have for some reason???) and putting it in the swimming pool.
