Bill, you don't know how long I've been looking for a pic of Drysdale as Money Man! Is there a site with a bigger pic?

Unfortunately Matt, this the only result I got from Google Images using "Super, Banker, Drysdale, Hillbillies" as search words... 

There might be others out there...

it is a tad obvious... by sacrilege? Um, not quite.

Superman nailed to a crucifix in place of Jesus Christ would fall in that category.

I'm far more offended by the bleeding super symbol from the early nineties.

Thanks, Rik & Darren; I knew somebody in that story wore a $; could it have been in Marie Severin's Stuporman story from "Not Brand Echh" that a Superman-parody character wore it?

Aaron, everyone's entitled to his or her opinion, and, apparently, we differ in our degree of affection for the character.  I only know that I was immediately offended by what struck me as flagrantly disrespectful to an icon whose adventures I've been reading for forty-eight years.

James, you're right; sacrilege is probably an inapprpriate word, but, considering all of Jor-El's "my only son" none-too-subtle Christ allusions to which we've been subjected since the 1978 movie, perhaps, this once, I can be excused?

Not even that would be a sacrilege in my opinion...

Wow, umm...Arc...what, to you, would constitute legitimate sacrilege?  At the risk of thoroughly derailing this thread...

In the specific case of Superman nailed to the crucifix would constitute a sacrilege only for catholics. If you were atheist, buddhist or any other thing it wouldn't be a big deal for you at all.
