C.K. Phone Home

Sorry about yesterday. Spent all my words elsewhere. I'm sure i'll dig up some more for today.
But, first - a quick reminder of life in 1978 - 40 years ago, Superman had a land line* to his Fortress Of Solitude...



...and the president of Tri-State Bell had what even the President didn't have - Kal El's phone number!

panels by Curt Swan and Frank Chiaramonte from Superman #328 (1978)

*(For younger readers, a "Land Line" refers to an ancient practice wherein phone signals actually traveled along a physical wire. This required a "Phone Line" to be in place connecting both ends of the conversation. Whether strung along a series of poles or buried underground, it was referred to either way as a "land line".)
