As a former teacher, myself, I know the importance of completing homework, so here's my suggestion about why the business of Jimmy Olsen as a vacuum cleaner salesman seemed familiar to you. I don't know about any similar story in the comics, but, in the George Reeves TV show, "The Adventures of Superman", there was an episode called "Five Minutes to Doom", in which an innocent man is due to be executed for murder. At one point, evidence which might help exonerate him has been ripped up and thrown into a trash can. Jimmy retrieves the scraps by the same ruse of posing as a vacuum cleaner salesman. It's actually a pretty funny scene, and shows Jack Larson's comedic chops.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I had forgotten about that episode. I may have gotten it mixed up in my memory and thought it was in a comic book story.
