Gilbert GuillemotI really like this - the style is cute and retro. But I also like it because I am sure this conversation is taking place after this conversation from Alias between Carol and Jessica Jones regarding Luke Cage:
Would you keep a book past due with this poster? I’ve heard from a few librarians and I have to agree, if they take out that part of canon I’ll be very upset.

Clark: Compromise. This year, no powers. Nothing from Venus, no super-stunts—
Lois: *sigh* Clark, No—
Clark: —an even playing field. Just a guy present hunting for his wonderful overworked wife?
Lois: …You’re something else, Smallville, you know that?
Clark: No, I’m just a regular guy, who is asking permission to use the joint account to buy a present.
Lois: Okay…okay…enough with the cute. You win.Action Comics #762
Dear, Superman: I know you get a lot of mail at this time of year, and a lot of holiday wishes. But, if you could find a little time to visit with your favorite girl reporter, she’d be extra good next year. XXX Lois
Clark: What if I had opened that letter in front of Jimmy and Perry?
Lois: Got you here, didn’t I? And that’s why you have x-ray vision and they don’t. You look cute in those shorts.
Clark: You should see me in a cape. You and your mom getting along okay?
Lois: Never better. She’s climbing around here someplace. I know it sounds awful, but my dad dying may have been the best thing for her. This is the first holiday season I’ve gone through without him. I was lucky to be at the White House when he died, I guess. I mean, one second I’m way the heck out in outer space and the next thing I know, Luthor wants me back with the presidential press pool.
Clark: I’m sorry were we talking about Luthor?
Lois: I mean, it was almost like Luthor knew my dad was going to die before it happened.Superman v2 #177
I cringe EVERY TIME he reads that newspaper.
Lois: Our life together—it’s got that fairy tale thing going for it. Sometimes I’d get caught up in it. One thing Mom taught me…her admitted affair and all…real life isn’t a fairy tale. And I don’t want to live that way anymore. I want a real life. And that means dealing with the bad as well as the good. Even with all the confusion I’ve still got…I think I feel better about us than I ever have. I don’t have all the answers…and I know you don’t either…But that’s okay. Come what may, we’ll figure it out together, Smallville. That’s what a marriage is all about.
Clark: Lois…I love you, too.
Lois: You’d better.Adventures of Superman #602
