American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

"Xu Fu, are you interested in becoming a member of my campaign team?"

With his knife and fork in hand, Roosevelt extended an invitation to Xu Fu, who was standing in front of him.

This man was very close to him politically, and some of his suggestions were even more appealing than Roosevelt's current campaign team, so he asked for an invitation.

Xu Fu did not expect that his acceptance of the "New Deal" proposed by the future Roosevelt would lead to this misunderstanding.

"I'm very sorry."

Anyone else with political ambitions could accept Roosevelt's invitation.

Being part of a team in a presidential election, even if the campaign proves unsuccessful, is a political bonus for the participant.

Furthermore, knowing the direction of the future, Xu Fu could not possibly make a mistake.

Unfortunately, Xu Fu did not intend to be too impulsive in politics. After a brief silence at the dinner table, he politely declined Roosevelt's invitation.

Let's leave the task of saving the people of America from this misery to others.

For Xu Fu, the most important thing was to gather faith in order to discover his abilities; everything else was just an attempt to achieve this goal.

Whether investing in politics or acting in the stock market, it is a process of capital accumulation.

"Sir, it's time to embark on our next journey."

After glancing at the time on his watch, the teaching assistant approached Roosevelt and whispered a reminder.

As the next Democratic nominee, Roosevelt needed a lot of attention, and having lunch with Xu Fu was just one of his many engagements.

Although Xu Fu declined his invitation, Roosevelt didn't take it too seriously.

Not everyone enjoys politics, and even Roosevelt himself had to make a major decision when he decided to return to politics.

"I will consider your suggestions, especially the part about the new policy."

Taking a napkin from his chest, Roosevelt and Xu Fu shook hands gently.

"Perhaps you could call it the New Deal."

Xu Fu grinned as he released Roosevelt's hand.

"waiter."

Watching his assistant push Roosevelt, who was in a wheelchair, away, Xu Fu took a sip of his juice, reached out to call the waiter to pay the bill, and then finished his lunch at Restaurant No. 21.

When he returned to the Messenger, he busied himself with increasing and expanding it.

The Messenger is now published only on Wednesdays and weekends, and primarily features Superman comics. While this attracts a large readership, it is detrimental to the newspaper's long-term development, especially as the publication of the Messenger comics and the emergence of the Superman quarterly will draw more and more readers' attention to other publications.

“From now on, the Courier News will be renamed the Daily Courier. In addition to the regular comic strip on Wednesdays and weekends, it will focus on regular news reporting. Old John, I need you to contact the sponsors. For the next few days, I need to see news reports related to the election every day.”

Although he declined Roosevelt's invitation to join the campaign team, this did not mean that Xu Fu could not intervene in the election in his own way.

The Courier, or rather the revamped Courier Daily, is New York's second-largest newspaper after the World, and is very influential in itself.

I'll give you an answer later.

Naturally, old John had no doubts about Xu Fu's decision to publish a supplement to the magazine.

As a seasoned journalist, John experienced the worst days of newspapers and saw Xu Fu transform the Messenger from a small, near-bankrupt local newspaper into the second-largest newspaper in New York.

Expanding the newspaper from a two-day special to a daily news edition is not just a matter of talk; the cost of paper and ink used for printing is a fact that must be considered beforehand.

Xu Fu was powerless to do anything about it, and could only ask John to take more photos and Francis to collect more international news to fill the pages of the Daily Messenger.

Of course, the most important thing is the coverage of the election.

Undoubtedly, the story still revolves around Hoover, adhering to the newspaper's consistent stance, standing at the last mile, and moving Hoover from one end to the other.

As for whether it would displease Hoover, that was clearly not something Xu Fu should worry about. Besides, even if it did, what difference would it make?

Under no circumstances will the other side stay in the White House for long.

Furthermore, Xu Fu could not wait for Hoover's response.

"When Mellon blows the whistle, Hoover rings the bell; when Mayo blows the whistle, H-be."

Wajie gave him the sign.

The next day, Monday morning.

Newsboys filled the streets of New York City, singing long-forgotten nursery rhymes.

"Extra, extra!"

"The Courier has been renamed The Daily Courier, and now you can see the Superman series of reports in The Daily Courier every day!"

Evoking lyrical memories of the tragic conditions of the Great Depression, a pedestrian tugged at his coat and stopped a passing newspaper employee to ask a question.

Do you really see Superman every day?

"Absolutely true!"

He took out a copy of the "Messenger's Daily," turned to the four-panel comic strip, and the newspaper pointed its little finger, stained black with ink, at the imposing Superman wearing a red hat: "Mr. Xu Fu of the 'Messenger's Daily' says that from now on, Superman will appear every day!"

"Give me the letter!"

Upon hearing the reporter's answer, the pedestrian hurriedly pulled a two-cent coin from his pocket.

“This is the messenger of every day, sir.”

After correcting the pedestrian's name, the newspaper vendor took the coins, handed him the newspaper, picked up the rope from his body, and began peddling his newspaper on the street.

"Mellon turned on the alarm, and Hoover rang the bell."

After sketching the boy's retreating, thin figure, the pedestrian turned away and returned to his copy of the Herald—no, it should now be called the Daily Herald.

"Millions of people live like animals!"

When you open the newspaper, the first thing you see isn't the expected Superman series, but a report on the Great Depression.

Chapter 664 That's Superman

Beneath the sensational news headline was a family photo living in rural Hoover.

The photo shows a ragged family living in a dilapidated wooden house. The father leans against the wall, washing his thinning hair with rainwater from a tin can. The mother stands stiffly, holding onto a rickety wooden door. A child crouches in the corner, looking at the photo with curious eyes, which can be seen through the crack in the door.

Although the Daily Courier started printing in color a few months ago, the newspaper still appears in black and white in this photograph.

These black-and-white photographs are what allow people to better understand the helplessness of families during the Great Depression.

Who would want to live in a village where even dishes can only be washed with rainwater?

What's even more disheartening is that the Great Depression is not a story from the past; "133" is a reality that is actually happening in our time.

"I thought it was saying Superman was a serial killer?"

Everyone remained silent for a long time while looking at the photo in the newspaper, and then the pedestrian spoke in a voice that only he could hear.

As he spoke, he flipped through the daily newspaper in the messenger's hand and finally saw the comic book that the telegraph operator had flipped through earlier.

As it turns out, the so-called "superman's post," which the other party can see every day, refers to the length of that one page.

"If I had known, I should have asked more questions."

Feeling some regret for his carelessness, the pedestrian's gaze fell on the contents of the newspaper.

The Superman comic strip that appeared in the Monday Courier was much shorter than previous installments.

The main story is about a planet where Superman has lost his powers, and Lex Luthor, who was originally the villain, becomes the hero of the planet.

"Luthor becomes a superhero?"

The pedestrian who had just been complaining was immediately drawn to the content of the comic.

In the comics, Krypton doesn't exist, and Superman is an ordinary young man living on a farm without all the superpowers he knows. On the other hand, Rudd becomes a hero because of his superhuman intelligence.

A strange sense of absurdity arose within a pedestrian as he looked at the statue of Luther placed in the center of the metropolis.

As a loyal reader of Superman comics, he was used to Superman being a superhero and Lex Luthor being a supervillain, so when he saw a short story where Luthor appeared as a hero, a strange feeling inexplicably arose in his heart.

"So, if Superman stops existing in the world, Lex Luthor won't become a supervillain?"

With that in mind, let's continue to this page.

The comic tells the story of Luther, a hero who, after saving Metropolis once again, unexpectedly encounters a powerful enemy.

She wore an extravagant outfit and introduced herself as Miss Mptk, a troublemaker.

Miss Mischief has a comical appearance but is surprisingly strong. She claims to be a witch from the Fifth Dimension with many powerful magical abilities.

"Miss Turmoil?"

The pedestrian's lips curled slightly as he looked at Miss Mischief, who made her debut in the comic book and clearly looked like a female version of Mr. Mischief.

"I wonder what the right Mr. Mischief would look like when he sees Ms. Mischief."

The comic book series continues as pedestrians ponder its story.

The cunning lady used her powerful magic to control Luther and send him to another universe.

Open your eyes in a metropolis of another universe.

Luther watched the figure flying across the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
