irish bouzouki v superman

This comic cover was going around yesterday on Twitter. It would’ve been better than Batman v Superman. Tell me I’m wrong.

And yes, since the zouk was invented three years before this comic was published, I am headcanoning that this instrument (which nobody else seems to be able to identify online) is in fact an Irish bouzouki with a weird strap attachment point and not an odd cutout in the upper body. It probably has eight strings based on what we can see of the peg configuration, and that’s a reasonably Irish resonating chamber, and it’s a narrow, Greek neck. And sure, the body’s a little small, but it’s the right shape, I’ve actually seen an oddball zouk in that proportion, and it was very early in the history of the instrument.

Therefore, silver-age Superman’s Kryptonite was officially the Irish bouzouki.

I have encountered the most MAN!MAN!MAN!MAN marketing possible. It is the best worst thing ever.
