“Man of Steel”

"Man of Steel" in Surftoons #12 (1968) delivers a delightfully absurd twist on wish-fulfillment, as an aspiring surfer known only as Jo finds his life transformed by a whimsical Groovy Godmamma. Written and illustrated by Bruce Steffenhagen, the story unfolds with playful energy, turning the tables on his former tormentors in a way that’s as surreal as it is satisfying—though the exact nature of their transformation stays delightfully mysterious. The cover by Steffenhagen captures the story’s zany spirit, a 35-cent slice of 1968 counterculture charm.

Some beach loving teenagers built a sunshade hut on the sand that required a permit which they failed to get, so the whole megillah was repurposed into a cool raft and took to the sea to avoid prosecution.
