THE SUPER DICTIONARY (Part Four)

I'm late to post this (for the nine of you that read this), but here is Part Four in an ongoing, really long series about just a percentage of the insanity that is THE SUPER DICTIONARY:
Make wrinkles between your eyes...Really???!! I like how the Women's Lib-Checker missed the implication that otherwise, nothing is "going on in her head."  (And it was the 70's!) Also, speaking of her head, exactly how is that headband placed?  The more I look at it, the more it looks like it belongs to someone else.
Remember that time that The Penguin was chased by a giraffe? Nope, I don't either.  See how they foreshortened the giraffe's body, but forgot to decrease the size of his neck as they went along?  Yep, I did too. 
Here, the hastily-invented Conjura reads to her friend, Billy Dee Williams.  He can't understand it, but the joke is on him anyhow: the book is totally blank.
Now, wait a second...we have a plague of green slime, and Superman is just going to leave and think about it?  Any context as to where he could even be?  A manhole? A space station? Three Mile Island?  Has Superman already forgotten what algae is? (See part one if you have.)
Sometimes I take photos of these things, and forget why, but I think what got to me here was the definition of goblins as "bad fairies." And can't fairies do magic too?
Superbaby's mother (who is never named in the SUPER DICTIONARY for some reason) would say a lot more than "goodness" to see this.....uh...thing that looks like the latest thing Jimmy Olsen has turned himself into.
This panel is SUPER DICTIONARY-art-layout-gold.  Just stare at it a while; you don't even have to read the "definition" of the word....unless you want to imagine that the grotesque, giant Green Lantern head is getting goosed.  And, is he squatting in the marsh, or what?  Is there a footnote somewhere about how we know that geese are actually "stronger" than ducks? Did they have a contest to determine this??
I seriously want to see animated GIF's of that Green Lantern head rising up onto my desktop, and then disappearing again....that would be wonderful:
Oh well, but then again, if the Internets have taught me one thing, it's that you can't force a Meme.  Let's move on; we've time for one more:
Here, baggy-shorts-1940's Wonder Woman has broken into the home of some people who look like 1950's clipart, although she seems quite close to them...take a look at the man, who can do nothing but smile, even though tears are forming as he strains to overcome the programming of his alien masters....everything must be assimilated...
 That's better!!

TO BE CONTINUED...

Is this your Super Dictionary?
Is this your stronger than a duck dictionary,
or your glossary to help you talk backwards?
Why do you make wrinkles between your eyes?
I need to go and think about this.

The sad thing is, I catch myself thinking like that. No telling how large the SD-corrupted generation is.
