The side note in Panel 2 brings to my mind something that happened during the height of the “Batman” TV show’s popularity in 1966. Many child fans of the show were trying to dress like Batman by tying a towel around their neck. Harmless enough, but some kids thought that since Batman wore a cape just as Superman did, they thought Batman could fly, and they would jump off high places trying to fly. This led Adam West to do a PSA, dressed as the Caped Crusader, in which he said, in character, “I do not fly. I cannot fly any more than you can. So, please — do not try to fly.”
