I'm a big fan of the ancient business practice of writing things down. I have notebooks and post-its all over the place. Most of which contain lists. I make a to-do list at least once a day. I hate working but I love scratching things off lists. I work at home from time to time and often take my notebooks and post-its back and forth between home and office.
I found the above list in one of my notebooks. It is not a list that I created. It is a list created by my nine year old daughter. She has created her own super hero group called The Super Kids. The list documents the Super Kid's friends.
There are three things on this list that really impress me:
1) Yes. Super Lois is a character of critical importance and should be on any list of important super heroes, characters or friends.
2) Ditto Plastic Man and Bat-Mite.
3) My daughter can spell the word "friends". I've been working on that for over three decades and still do not have any idea where to put the "i" and the "e".
Your best pal ever,

That is terribly sweet. Also, it kicks ass, because when I was a kid I would have totally dug such a comic. And in my day of reading kids comics (late 50s to early 60s), comic book writers would have known how to treat such a neat project.
I'll bet if your daughter knew about Wonder Tot, she'd have included her on the team.
Yesterday I had to dig out an old All Star Squadron out of the basement for my daughter becasue they have all the heroes in them. Kids love that kind of thing. I do too.
Is Galactus wearing no pants in that post above? And what about AquaFlash for your list? Is there a character named AquaFlash?
Yes he has no pants. If you were a space god would you bother with pants? AquaFlash would be terrific. AquaFlash could save the NuDC New 52 whatever. Call Time Warner now!
