Obviously amnesiac Kara's thought process was, "Oh no, I'm wearing a wig and am really a blonde?! I can't tell Jimmy! The shock would be too much for him!"
😀😀😀😀😀
Ok so heres my theory. Whoever wrote it had a plane jane wife. He self inserts himself as Jimmy and turns his plane jane wife into Supergirl.........
Unless it was a super-wig.
When I look and Jimmy and Kara, as a couple in 1960, they wear flannel pajamas, kiss on the lips (no tongue), and sleep in separate twin beds, like respectable married people would! LOL!
A double bed is the gateway to hell lol
Everyone knows only Harlots and Tramps share a bed, respectable folk sleep in separate beds in completely opposite sides of the house.

Married couples did the same thing on television back then.
Supergirl: "That hussy is trying to steal my husband!"
Sasha: "YOU'RE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR HUSBAND FROM *YOURSELF* "

Sometimes my genius...it's almost frightening
Jimmy Olsen: Lucy Lane must be feeling terrible.
Lucy Lane: Did I leave the iron on?
Interesting how the carnival has a game to shoot Superman and that Jimmy, his pal is so good at it.
Well... damn. When you put it that way, there's something really dark going on, isn't there?
In Star Wars, that’s called this little thing called the Rule of Two.
Jealousy between super friends? 😂
Jimmy Olsen is Bloodsport in an alternative reality
Let's be real here, if your best friend was entirely bulletproof you would probably mess around with shooting him at some point, no matter how incredibly stupid it is. It's just too much of a temptation to do something that idiotic when there are little to no consequences.
Superman as a disgruntled best man is far funnier than it should be. "F**k my best pal's happiness, patrolling without Supergirl will be... well, like 90% of my adventures, quite honestly. But that 10% means something! It means something!"
🤣
Supes really wanted to Alabama his cousin
@@falconeshield Trust me, it didn't stop there, because Casually Comics made a video about how Superman tried to marry Supergirl. Fact truly is stranger than fiction.
3:21 I'm inclined to believe it was one reader sending thousands of letters demanding it.
Now my headcanon is that it's the same person who killed Jason Todd lol
@@CasuallyComics totes
@@CasuallyComics Nope, I actually voted on that. Twice! Once to kill him and once to save him so I negated my own vote.
@@davidmcmahon4633 ¿were you trying a Thanos there?
@- SageAegis - He didn't not kill him either.
The red kryptonite DID affect Superman: it briefly gave him the power to keep Supergirl’s wig on her head. Airtight script!
What kind of sense does that make
@@craigpeoples9883 Enough sense.
@@craigpeoples9883 it was the silver age. Any thing is possible then.
3:34 The idea of shippers in 1960 being desperate for Kara and Jimmy to be together is funny.
They had a serious confrontation with Brainiac 5 and Supergirl's shippers. Many of them were disheartened when Kingdom Come was released and they learned of the existence of Brainiac's Daughter.
Makes you wonder what they would've gotten up to if Rule 34 was a thing back then.
People never change
@@guillermodebaskerville7117 I read kingdom come and don't know brianiacs daughter. But brainiac 5 was supergirl's last major silver/bronze age love interest.

@@saturnianrings3920 She's a redhead, wears glasses, and teaches physics at CalTech.
Imagine leaving your kid at the orphanage you got her from, come back from your trip and *boom* she's married. And running around his back.
I think that this shows that the DC writers had a very interesting home life with their wives. "My wife put on a new costume last night, and it gave me a great idea for a Jimmy Olsen comic!"
Also: I think "Superman's Brother-In-Law Jimmy Olsen" would have been an incredibly funny title for the comic.
Superman's Brother-In-Law Jimmy Olsen is a comic I now desperately need lol
I think it would technically be call cousin in law.
"I'm sorry chief Jimmy is my Cousin in law, it would be a conflict of interest if he was my photographer!"
"Why does Superman keep giving Jimmy things? Jimmy can't be trusted. We all know this!" 😂🤣😂🤣
Did we ever learn how they became pals in the first place?

But also Jimmy and Kara were sleeping in separate beds.

"Are there people that wanted Jimmy and Supergirl?"
Me who watched Smallville: YES.
@@toshomni9478 To be fair the writers have no idea what romance is, queer or straight
The Red Kryptonite not only robbed Linda of all her memory of being Supergirl, it also caused her wig to remain stuck to her head. It didn't rob her of her super strength, however. Since she didn't remember she had it, she didn't use it. When she used it accidentally, it restored her memory and she was able to remove her wig easily since she now knew she had super strength.
Jimmy and Kara have been a "Will They, Won't They" for multiple years to decades and multiple media adaptions, and here, wow, this is toxic relationship, and it didn't have to be.
Jimmy: On our Honeymoon we did Missionary... And Missionary!.... And then Missionary!
Kara: Why there isn't a Hellfire Club in the DC Universe? I seriously need one
Jimmy is too pure to know of anything other than missionary. Except for antimatter Jimmy he is a degenerate
@@gruknarorcishwar-yerhereto8489 how can Jimmy penetrate Kara? Wouldn't her hymen be as invulnerable as she is?
Art Westefeld Red kryptonite on the bed stand.
@@gruknarorcishwar-yerhereto8489 but the red K could only affect her once. Im thinking a red sun lamp. Surely Jimmy has one.
Back in the 1970's, when "The Superman Family" was transitioning to the Dollar Book Format, the comic was slated to be edited by Tony Isabella. His big idea for Supergirl, was to get her into a hot and heavy relationship with Jimmy Olsen (then in his "Mister Action" phase). Apparently she was gonna clue Jimmy in on her secret identity and the hook up would then be used to create some tension between Kal El and Kara and then between Jimmy and Lois Lane. Isabella ultimately parted with DC Comics before the idea could be implemented, but it had some intriguing aspects since it was gonna be such a conflict generator.
The story I heard was that Lucy Lane would be jealous, not Lois.
Jimmy marrying Kara is must better than Lois. Completely bonkers but a hint of a sweet romance.
Kara doesn't need a trophy room to make her happy!
He ended up with Supergirl matrix.
Then got dumped for lex...🤔
@@Ninjajp247 supergirl matrix went for Lex? Eww
@@seanraines5871 It was clone Lex pretending to be his own not evil son and totally not a clone body with the original's transplanted brain (he actually was).
Jimmy and supergirl is not bonkers at all. Lois and Jimmy is so strange. There was a song about jimmy that he secretly loved lois and I don't know where that came from. I never read the jimmy marries lois book though. So I don't know his thoughts on her.
Jimmy and supergirl is just a mild whatever.
"People sleeping on Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane."
I mean, isn't that why there are so many wedding stories for Lois in those comics?
DC needs to relaunch that title, and show Lois leaving Clark for Wonder Woman, and Black Canary, and Catwoman, and Zatanna, and Hawkgirl, and Starfire, and Raven, and Jade, and Vixen, and Batwoman, and Power Girl, and Cheetah (Which one? The three of them), and Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy, and Killer Frost...

LMAO
Sasha you were on FIRE this episode! Lol! "Why does Superman keep giving Jimmy things?". "It's amnesia-ception!". "And stop giving people Kryptonite!". "Stay petty Jimmy!" "It's all vanilla ice cream at the Olsen house" I don't know if it's me, but this episode tickled the heck out of me!
So let me get this right... If I was to wear both Clark's glasses AND Kara's brown wig, I'd be irresistible to women despite no-one knowing I was Jimmy Olson?
And men!
Dammit Sasha! That hair pulling and vanilla ice cream gag made me spit my coffee all over my monitor and keyboard.
My favorite trivia about Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is that at one point Jack Kirby himself took over the title, including the debut fo the character of Darkseid, of all people (clearly Jimmy needs to marry Darkseid at some point)
So darkseid isnt a superman villain... Hell he isnt even a justice league villain
He is superman's pal jimmy olsen villain!!!
@@valletas well now i just need a story where Jimmy fights Darkseid solo
perhaps, fearing that her wig would fall off in public, Kara used superglue to stick it on, "only I have the strength to remove it!" and that's why the wig never came off during her amnesia? aw, it makes as much sense as anything in this crazy story!
At least continuity wise, Linda remembers to take off her wedding ring every time she changes to Supergirl!
The DC "imaginary stories" married heroes off. The Marvel "What If..." series killed them off.
That’s not always true about “What If...”, I had one awhile back that was “What If... Electra Never Died?”
Plus “What if Spiderman Saved Gwen Stacey?”!
@@emilylike-the-soup2502 She goes to the arms of Green Goblin. Not worth it.
This is the ultimate "how to catch a cheater" story ever
"I guess there's never any hair pulling or anything going on. It's all vanilla ice cream in the Olsen house" That gave me a side splitting laughter!
8:36, "it's all vanilla ice cream at the Olsen house" . hahahahaaaaaa, Sweet.
A Jimmy Olsen series of weird adventures videos would be cool. I've always been curious about that one comic where Superman makes him marry a gorilla.
..?
@@Mailed-Knight It was a dark time
what
By the Source! A Jimmy Olsen transformations series on this channel is more than I could ever dare hope for. Sasha, you are too good to us!
Ahhhh... We meet again Silver Age Superman and your strange, strange relationship stories.
But they were fun.
Thank you, Sasha. I'm glad to see you're getting around to Jimmy Olsen's marriages. Next up should be his marriage from "Jimmy Olsen" issue # 100.
Please do this video!!
No no, Sasha. Vanilla ice cream is too spicy for Jimmy Olsen.
I was glad you brought up the amnesia/wig thing because it was driving me crazy.
If I recall my silver age correctly (it has been a few years :-D ) a piece of red kryptonite could only affect a given Kryptonian once, then that particular Kryptonian became immune to that particular piece, which explains why it didn’t affect Clark. Now, what happens if you split the piece? Would it become a “new” one? I dunno. Doesn’t really make much sense, but hey, silver age. Also, red kryptonite affects were usually only temporary, so the amnesia wearing off is to be expected.
Oh good, someone did mention it. Also each piece has a different effect from others. Sometimes it was a physical mutation and sometimes it affected their personality. Red K must be more unstable than the usual green so in the Silver Age it does whatever the writer wants to do to mess with Superman and Supergirl.
So Jimmy's idea of fun is shooting Superman targets? Unexpectedly dark. 🕶️
It actually would make sense that they would be a couple. He ends up becoming an official member of Superman's family. It helps the El line of Kryptonians alive.
If they can even have kids with humans
Sasha can I just say you are awesome! I've never cared so much about comics or enjoyed someone talking about them, but you make this thing so fantastic. You take me back to story time in elementary! I am so sure bedtime stories with your child are an unforgettable adventure! Thank so much for your time and dedication.
From what I remember of the Silver Age Supergirl stories I've read, each individual piece of red kryptonite can only affect an individual kryptonian once (hence why Superman was immune to it, having previously encountered it before handing it off to Jimmy). I *think* that each individual piece has an effectively random effect (ie, whatever that story's plot needs), but each piece has the same effect on each kryptonian exposed to it. Also IIRC the effect of each piece of red kryptonite lasts a consistent 24 hours.
48 hours. At least, that's how long Satan Girl had to live.
That was insane!
Lois and Clark clearly need to raise their game in terms of bizarre relationship scenarios.
I can't believe kara called herself a hussy
No, the underground civilization's queen is who she called a hussy.
4:02 Not just a Superman, but a Super Best Man.
Jimmy that hussy cheating on his wife with his wife?!? Who will Lois not marry?!? Awesome video as always 👍👍
8:33 Word on the grapevine is that Jimmy loves that French vanilla...
Now I absolutely need a series about kara and jimmy as a Kim possible like duo with Krypto filling the role of Rufus.
Wouldn't Kara had the Cat?
"You're trying to steal your husband from yourself"
Didn't expect the voice acting, spat my tea out laughing.
Thomas Astruc read this comic as a child and was like: "I'm inspired!"
Jem, of the Holograms, would later perfect this type of relationship!
As to why she would play convoluted mind games in the first place, well, look who her principal role model is...
I remember the episode where jerrica created a third persona, and went after Rio again...
Or one of the early episodes where as Jem, she beseeches Rio to hold her after some trauma.
Time for Supergirl to jump on the marriage train! At least she's not marrying her pet horse this time! Still hoping we get a breakdown of her Satan Girl Saga, though
Holy crud the 70s were wild
@@hydrolito ...Does that really make his situation any better, tho? Powers are cool, sure, but...It's funny to think that he would have been equally distressed if he'd become a full man! At least he didn't have to relearn how to walk, haha!
Boy that was a crazy time.
You had me laughing the entire time Great job!
This is an example of how I sometimes wish DC Heroes did settle down and act like people.
LMAOF @8:19, you trying to apply LOGIC - to pre-modern age DC comic. You rock.
People wanting Jimmy to hook with Supergirl? There's dozens of them, literally dozens!
You know what. These sorts of stories are growing on me. Damn you, Sasha!!
Linda's parents returned her to the orphanage ...? What is it, a kid kennel ...?
I would love to see an animated Jimmy Olsen series based on this
The drama of Superman wanting to spare Supergirl of the trauma of remembering and losing Krypton could have been better utilized.
Maybe Zartanna learned her mindwipe abilities from Silver Age Superman?
I liked in the tv show "Supergirl" that Jimmy is mentioned in the Valentine episode where Mr Mytzelplec cons Supergirl into marrying him.
This is happens when the Lois Effect runs out of control. I would like more please.
Thank you! One of the best crazy silver age stories of all time!
supergirl had to lose her powers, as the writer was probably worried she would break poor Jimmy's pelvic area. She isn't a gentle lover.
It may not be that vanilla in the Olson house. Hair pulling the other way...
Still not as strange as when Superman made out with a disguised Supergirl to make Lois jealous.
So the secret of a good marriage is to adopt a fake persona and convince your partner to cheat on you with them? Good to know...
(And I assume that being married in a comic only involves hand holding. Comics Code, Yay!)
Sounds perfectly plausible to me.
The only part that didn't make any sense was, where was Krypto the Super Dog this whole time?
You see it just doesn't add up.
Krypto is dead. Like Old Yeller.
@@falconeshield I thought Old Yeller went to a farm upstate where he could chase rabbits all day.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy's constant transformations are actually important in the elseworld, Justice League: The Nail. That's why I tell people to read certain issues of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen before reading Justice League: The Nail, because without context certain big reveals become weird and seemingly come from nowhere.
Curt Swan's art was GORGEOUS, he's EASILY my favorite classic Supergirl artist.
I think the thing to focus on here is that Jimmy apparently doesn't recognize his wife's face. Otherwise this whole "make him cheat on me WITH ME," scheme would have been d.o.a.
To be fair they went on one date and then got married, Lois has know both Clark and superman closely for years so I think it's pretty par for the the course
@@veronicagroner6533 Yes, but counterargument...wigs aren't glasses.
I'm not a prude....But at 8:40 you mentioned hair pulling the Olsens as "vanilla" (a common though odd usage how hard to get, exotic and expensive actual vanilla is) ,I was frankly shocked. You naughty person!
Hair pulling. I love the bedroom shenanigans 😆
I’m so glad that you’re finally showing SPJO some love. I consider it the personification of Silver Age in one series.
When did Superman and Supergirl ever patrol together? I never remember those stories. What kind of situation would need 2 super cops to handle that wouldn't have required everyone like the JLA to also be involved?
Yay I asked for Supergirl getting married! She could also have a playlist!
Congrats!! 🥳
Wow! That must have been SOME date that she'd say yes to marrying a guy she just met.
Thank you, Sasha! After viewing these stories, I immediately feel much better about my own mental health and my relationships! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Learning I'm a superhero would be bad for his emotional stability,, better stalk him and pressure him into cheating, that's nice and relaxing
Sasha!!!! Woman you are a SCREEEAMMMM! I love your quick wit and insightful analysis. The timing in your commentary is spot-ON! Your delivery ( As the kids say,) is DEAD-ASS ON! You call out and expose the absurdity of the silver age tropes and the shameless messes of some of the contemporary story tellers. Keep doing your thing. Love your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤👍🏽😗😗🤣🤣🤣🤣😉
Making jimmy a worst character with jealously would have been contrived drama. This was at least funny. Jimmy also appreciates her.
I never understood the Supergirl/Superman early years relationship. If I had a long lost relative who was a small girl and she was the only member of my family still alive, unless she was a strung-out crackhead, I'd never let her out of my sight.
Obviously red kryptonite fuses wigs to your head as if they are real hair.
Sadly, I couldn't enjoy the new Supergirl series enough to keep watching it, but I like to think that Jimmy Olsen looks like he does in that one because, once again, Jimmy got transformed by something. But when Superman offered to fix it, Jimmy was looking in the mirror, and said (in a deep, manly voice, of course), "You know what, Superman, you've done so much for me. I can live with this. Oh yes, I can live with this. No need to put yourself out."
Darn, how did I miss this one back in the day? Thanks for featuring it.
This worked in a surprisingly kinky premise for a silver age book not written by Marston
I think that know how Daily Planet get story... They make there own story with drama!!!
Lois Lane, Jimmy Oslen and Carl Kent
My mother told me she used to read the Lois Lane comics. I´m sure she must have read some of Jimmy Olsen as well.
Out of all the comic book commentators I watch, you are by far the most entertaining! I really really like your content.
"And I am please to report, it is a hot mess..." Sasha being Queen of bizarre comic storylines and loving it.
If she’s legal, then why was she left at an orphanage!?
Because according to the morals of the time, it would have been improper to have a young woman stay with her older male relative without a chaperone. The Kents were dead when Supergirl appeared. I think they lost a lot of story opportunities by putting her in an orphanage. Imagine her moving in with Lois and maintaining her super identity.
After seeing that cover.im going to need you to review that catwoman and lois lane issue.lol
Oh, yes, please do a series on Jimmy Olsen's bizarre transformations, including the World of Doomed Olsens and the World of a Thousand Olsens.
I guess super girl just decided that since she had a wig on she should probably keep it on maybe due to some insecurity about her hair.
Jimmy turning into things playlist - yes please!
This is one of the reasons why this comic series lasted for so long? I love your Jimmy Olsen/1930's carnival salesman-radio announcer voice.
Linda: "Not the orphanage! ...I used to be an Orphan."
When are we going to get the long-lost third part of the Superman supporting character series trilogy, "Superman's editor, Perry White"? It's literally just Perry proofreading, yelling at his staff and criticising Lois on her spelling mistakes. All within the confines of his office!
Isn't Kara like 16 at this point? You'd think the whole "living in an orphanage" thing would be a red flag, age-wise. Also, Kammy, obviously.
Maybe her parents signed off on her marrying so young? That was known to happen in the fifties. Also, Jimmy is like 17 or 18 himself at this point. He s also later revealed to be an orphan, albeit a rich one.
LOL!!! This is LITERALLY a futurama plot, when bender pretends to be flexo in order to [rove that Angeline loves flexo...by making her fall in love with flexo!
