More Summer 1995 fun, seeing more of what went on in L&C fandom during that summer.
Issues #19 and #20 started to run Fanfiction in the pages of the Krypton Club Newsletter; in the interest of space, and because some of the writers at hand have [hopefully] gotten a LOT better in the 5 years since, those stories have been cut out of the newsletter.

L&C POLL #2 RESULTS
Last week, we had a poll as to which character from the Superman
comics you'd like to see on "L&C." The results were
surprising, even though not as many responded to this poll as to
the last one. Here were the winners:
FIRST PLACE (4-way tie):
Bibbo--People want to see him on "L&C," because
he's their "fav'rit."
Doomsday--That would make an awesome multi-part episode of
L&C!"
Kenny Braverman/Conduit--This foe from CK's past would prove to
be an interesting villian for CK on L&C.
Wonder Woman--Because all the world's waiting for her, and the
powers she possesses. In her satin tights, fighting for her
rights....
Runners-up:
2 votes apiece: Brainiac, The Flash, Krypto the Super-Dog
1 vote each: Alice (Perry's wife), Bloodsport, Guardian and the
Newsboy Legion, Maxima, Rose & Thorn, Steve Lombard,
Supergirl
Thanks to everyone who participated!
L&C POLL #3
Here's the poll for this week.....
Since it's summertime and a new episode of "L&C"
won't be seen until September, we were wondering... what episodes
of "L&C" do you watch tapes of to relieve your
LCWS? Send your responses our way!
TAIGRE WANTS TO KNOW....
"In the interview he [Roger Stern] mentioned that one of his
favorite
characters was Bibbo. Who the heck is Bibbo?!?!"
Bibbo is a friend of L&C in the Superman comics. He's this
really big guy who runs a restaurant. Superman is his
"fav'rit."
ALL OF METROPOLIS PULLING FOR "SUPERMAN" REEVE (AP)
Metropolis, Ill. -- Superman's hometown is pulling for its
adopted son,
Christopher Reeve, and what better way than to send a superhero a
super-sized get-well card?
Organizers of the 17th annual Superman Celebration have had an
8-foot card available for people to sign since Monday. They
stopped counting after 3,000 signatures.
"I signed it because I thought it was a very nice thing for
Christopher
Reeve," James Tidwell, a 9-year-old Superman fan from
Paducah, Ky., said Friday.
The 42-year-old "Superman" actor was paralyzed from the
neck down in a riding accident over the Memorial Day weekend and
is being treated at the University of Virgina Medical Center in
Charlottesville. He can move his shoulder muscles, his doctor
said Friday, but there's no way to tell whether he will make any
further recovery. In Metropolis, the red- and blue- framed
plywood card near the base of the 15-foot Superman statue on
Superman Square is stealing the show. The Chamber of Commerce and
the Metropolis Planet weekly newspaper have been flooded with
calls from all over the country with questions about the card,
which will be sent to Reeve after the festival.
"Anytime anything has happened to Superman, like when he
died in the comics or when the movies first came out, that
certainly brings a new awareness that there is a real-life
Metropolis and that we do have this celebration," said Clyde
Wills, the Planet's editor and publisher.
This town of 6,700 was founded in 1839 along the Ohio River. It
realized in the early 1970s, when it was going through tough
economic times, that it was the only U.S. city with the name of
Superman's home, so it claimed the Man of Steel for its own.
Superman arrived on Earth from the planet Krypton in Action
Comics in 1938. His alter ego was Clark Kent, who worked at the
fictional Daily Planet in the imaginary city of Metropolis. Last
year's Superman Celebration was the most successful ever, with
about 50,000 to 60,000 visitors. Until Reeve's accident, some of
the biggest draws this year were expected to be a
"Supermania" wrestling match and appearances by former
Superboy actor Gerard Christopher.
In Charlottesville, Reeve's wife, Dana, said Friday he had begun
therepy for his paralysis and had been watching hockey on
television.
"He is a fighter and survivor of the first order, but this
has to be the
toughest challenge he has ever faced. I know it's mine,"
said the
34-year-old singer and actress.
The couple have been married for three years and have a
2-year-old son.

THE PLANET KRYPTON from the Atlas of the DC Universe
Special Thanks to XFMulder1 for sending this information.
The planet Krypton, which is the birthplace of Kal-El (also known
as Superman), no longer exists. It was destroyed numerous years
ago as a result of its highly unstable geological conditions.
Approximately the size of Earth, Krypton orbited a red sun some
fifty light-years distance from Earth. Over 100,000 years ago,
Krypton was already at a level of scientific achievement that
surpasses that of present-day Earth. Kryptonians had perfected,
among other things, the technique of cloning; they kept vast
banks of non-sentient clones of every living Kryptonian for the
purpose of replacing body parts worn out by age or damaged by
injury. Along with the knowledge of how to retard the aging
process, the Kryptonians were virtually immortal, death nearly
unknown.
These early Kryptonians lived an idyllic life. They were
dedicated to the advancement of science and art, and possessed a
love of beauty and sensuality which was reflected in every aspect
of their lives. Eventually, however, the pleasure-seeking
Kryptonians grew too fond of their comforts, leading to many
thousands of years of scientific stagnation.
A later political movement demanding equal rights for the clones
kept in the body banks exploded into the Clone Wars, pitting
clone rights activists against the rest of Krypton. As a result
of the war, the Clone Banks were abolished and Kryptonians
established new methods of prolonging their lives. During this
era, Krypton's geneticists also discovered a method of giving
birth that involved donated genetic tissue and a life-matrix
device that was kept in gestaton chambers until the resultant
living being was released at
birth. Procreation had become a cold, impersonal process, leading
to a corresponding repression of the Kryptonian emotional and
sexual culture, leaving the population emotionless and
spiritually dead.
Krypton's final 1,000 years were thus spent, until the discovery
by
famed scientist Jor-El of the instability of the planet's core.
Since the
Kryptonians had alll but abandoned space travel during the era of
scientific decline, they were trapped on this dying planet. The
only survivor of the cataclysm which eventually blasted Krypon to
rubble is Kal-El, whose life matrix was sent from Krypton to
Earth aboard his father Jor-El's experimental star drive unit.
Among the known points of interest on Krypton was Kandor,
Krypton's capital city and its center for scientific research and
study. It was in Kandor that the elders of Krypton met.
Kryptonopolis was the planet's secondary capital. One of the
planet's most spectacular sights was Mt. Mudru, which at 211,000
feet above seas level, was Krypton's highest point. Other sights
were the Ruins of Xan, home of the civilization of the
Kryptonians ancestors, and the Glass Forest, a huge glen that was
crystallized into glass by the heat from a powerful explosion.
Note: Watch for information on the history of Metropolis, so
in-depth that it covers all the major industries and businesses
and their owners.
L&C THIRD SEASON FILMING BEGINS JULY 12!!!!!!!!!!!!
L&C SIGHTINGS
Teri Hatcher's new Bally's commercial has been popping up all
over the place, from ESPN to the UPN network.
BobaFettIV informs us that "The Cool Surface" starring
Teri Hatcher will be on Showtime at 11:00pm on June 12.
Sage 17 informs us that both Dean Cain and Justin Whalin can be
seen in the newest issue of "Seventeen" magazine.'
Soundsquaw tells us that Dean will be presenting at the Jim
Thorpe Pro Sports Awards on July 8th. It will air on ABC that
night.
JBecky spotted a pin-up Dean Cain in "Superstars," a
special magazine from the makers of "16." She says
"If you get past 'fish boy' [Jonathan Brandis] on the cover,
it's an okay pic."
Gothamgrl went to the premiere for Batman Forever last night and
she'd like to report that Dean Cain attended (sans Gabrielle
Reece, I think they broke up). She also said of the movie,
"The movie was great, I highly recommend it. An interesting
note: Dr. Chase Meridian and Bruce Wayne/Batman's relationship
develops the exact same way as Lois & Clark's, only Dr. Chase
can put two & two together in two hours, Why is it taking
Lois two seasons? Personal note: Lois must figure out CK=Supes.
After all the clues dropped in her lap lately She would be
galactically stupid not to figure it out even if CK doesn't tell
her."
TODAY'S L&C TOP TEN LIST by ClarkXX & JennCu
From their home offices in Clinton, CT., and Yorba Linda, CA.,
JennCu and Clark XX have united agian to bring you the Top 10
reasons why Dan and Craig started their own fan club. are....
10. Their AOL bill was so low and they needed to use up their
extra free time
9. Its so more educational than school, and MUCH more fun than
studying
8. So Dean would say hello to them (which apparently failed)
7. Its more productive than writing hate-mail to SeaLeak
6. So some people would feel important to have at least ONE
letter in their mailbox daily
5. They had a civic responsibility to support the FOLCs of
America
4. What were they supposed to do, paint their toenails?
3. So everyone would send THEM the best news firsthand
2. Because they were kicked out of another club by the
"Queen of L&C"
And the number #1 reason why Dan and Craig started their own fan
club...
1. Because they love to see their names in print!

L&C quote as the heading, that's your indication that the

K CALLAN & EDDIE JONES: LEAVING "L&C?"
We have been told that K Callan and Eddie Jones have not yet
renewed their contracts, and that they may not have to. It
appears that Warner Brothers doesn't feel that they are
"necessary" to the show for it's third season.
We here at the Krypton Club Newsletter think that is wrong. K and
Eddie are a very important part of "L&C," in their
roles as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent. K's
interpretation of Ma is funny and enjoyable, and Eddie's Pa is
the dad we would all wish for. It is good for C.K. to have
someone (besides possibly Lois) to confide in. Without Ma and Pa
we beleive there would be a void.
Surely it is not too late to write to Warner Bros. and tell them
to renew those contracts! K and Eddie are two very talented
people playing two very likable characters. Let's not send them
into the TV "limbo" where Jack and Cat have been
resting for the past year!
"DAILY PLANET" BUILDING SPOTTED IN "THE MASK"
The Daily Planet building can be seen in the Jim Carrey movie
"The Mask!" In the scene when he comes out of the park
and sings Cuban Pete, the building that the police are standing
in front of is the Daily Planet! Also the theatre across the
street was for where they held the Kerth Awards. Thanks to
Soundsquaw for this information!
TODAY'S QUOTE
Today's quote is often heard from the voice of Jimmy Olsen. It is
particularly remembered for the exchange in "Man of Steel
Bars," where Jimmy (the REAL one) says to Clark, "C.K.,
you are the man!" Lois gives him a dirty look, so then he
says "And you are the woman!"
L&C POLL #3

While many people believe this to be false, you still should be

Teri Hatcher was on the morning show "Good Day LA" when

L&C LYRIC WRITING CONTEST: WHAT'S UP?!?!!?!
Only two people responded to our lyric writing contest... what's

"CK wears a disguise."
"His secret is hidden above his eyes."
"Very few know that he is the Man of Steel."
"Maybe one day they'll know."
"Superman."
And here is what we received from MarthaRB:
"We are Lois & Clark, yes we are
Our relationship has grown so much this far
Though we still have our downs, we can reach stars.
We will be forever friends."
And, to make it look like we Krypton Club Presidents do more than
sit on our duffs and complain about herpees beasts, here's one
from our very own KryptonFX.....
"Lois and Clark, are so cool
Why does that stupid Scardino act like such a tool?
The new Jimmy's a dork, but we're getting used to him

"Sheldon Bender," Lex Luthor's lawyer, was played by a

The answer to yesterday's trivia question: The cast members from
"Laverne & Shirley" who have appeared on
"L&C" were Cindy Williams, who played Shirley on
"L&S," and Michael McKean, who played Lenny.
MAXMOUZE, Brearley, XFMulder1, Chakespear, Karen 7, GordNBarb,

them.
Ad VanCian guessed that the guests were "Squiggy" and

TODAY'S QUOTE
Today's quote came from the new movie "Batman Forever,"
when Bruce Wayne said "He's halfway to Metropolis by
now." Even though it is not a quote from L&C, I think
you'd agree that it was a reference to the town that Lois and
Clark live in.
"BATMAN FOREVER:" "L&C" HITS THE BIG
SCREEN?!?!
by Craig Byrne
Having seen the new movie "Batman Forever" on Friday, I
couldn't help but notice the parallels between "BF" and
"Lois & Clark." For one thing, there is the
"love triangle" thing you find on "L&C;"
except you substitute Bruce Wayne, Batman, and Dr. Chase Meridian
into the roles of Clark Kent, Superman, and Lois Lane. There was
even the interrupted "I've been completely honest with you,
except for one thing, I'm---" just like on recent episodes
of "L&C."
There were also many times where Lois and Clark could have easily
fit in to the film. Can you imagine Superman battling the Riddler
and Two-Face? I can. Can you imagine a bad guy ramsacking Clark's
apartment? It's happened before on "L&C." There
were even several times, such as at Edward Nigma's party, where
you would half-way expect L&C to be there.
There was only one big difference between the new installment in
the Batman series of films and "L&C," which was
eloquently pointed out by Lisa Freedman: "Lois Lane is some
investigative reporter. In Batman Forever, it took Chase Meridian
two days to figure Batman is Bruce Wayne, and only ONE kiss. Not
only that, it took her a night to figure that she wanted Bruce
instead of Batman, while it took Lois a LONG time to see
it."
Let's hope the popularity of the new "Batman" film will
rub off on "L&C," considering that both are more
alike than one would expect.
KRYPTON CLUB LETTER OF THE DAY
Here we go, presenting the very first "Krypton Club Letter
of the Day!" The writer of that letter will see his or her
letter printed in its entirety in the Krypton Club Newsletter.
There are no rules for winning Letter of the Day, because Craig
and Dan arbitrarily choose the ones they like the best.***
Here it is....
Craig and 92,
Don't know if you've heard anymore about this yet, other than
what you included in the newsletter, but I was talking to Zoomway
yesterday about this development. She passed along my concerns to
K Callan, who replied back as follows:
> "It was all about their not honoring the contract they
made with us > two years ago. This year called for us to do
more episodes (10 of
> 13) and WB said "No, we just want you for 7 of 13 as in
the past." > If we had not gone for it, they would not
have renewed the contract. > But, we did.
>
> Thanks so much for sending me John's note. It always makes
me > feel good to know that there are folks who feel we make a
real
> contribution to the show."
So they will be back next season. Since the listserv is still
down, you may want to include this info in your next newsletter.
Might as well allay any fears the FOLCS may have concerning
further decimation of the supporting characters in the show.

LOIS AND CLARK COMPUTER IDEAS by Superman92
Do you want to turn your computer into a Lois and Clark shrine?
Then follow these instructions:
Note: These are instructions for IBM's and compatibles with
Windows. Mac users may be able to use these ideas as well.
1. Lois and Clark Slide Show and Screen Saver
--Needs: After Dark, Windows
Instructions: Convert all your Lois and Clark pictures to bmp
format. You may need to download a converter at keyword
"viewers." Save all your Lois and Clark pictures to the
directory, Afterdark bitmaps. You can do this by viewing them in
a program like windows paintbrush and then saving them to that
directory. Go to After Dark and select slide show. Push
"select pictures" and then click on the directory that
has them in it. Now when your screen saver comes on it will show
L & C pictures!
2. Lois and Clark Computer Sounds
--Needs: Windows, L&C sounds
Instructions: Go to control panel, it's probably in the
"Windows" group. Click on "Sounds." To the
left you will see a listing of actions such as "exit
windows" and "printer out of paper." Find the
L&C sounds you have on your computer, and select one of them
for a computer action of the left. Example: Windows Start (in the
left column) and sound file LCtheme.wav (in the second column). I
have the theme song play at the opening of Windows! Note: they
must be wav. files.
3. Lois and Clark Wallpaper
--Needs: Windows, Control Panel and Desktop
Instructions: The first thing you will need to do is save a .bmp
picture to the Windows directory. To do this, open the picture in
a viewing program like paintbrush, and then when you save it
click on the windows directory. Then go to "control
panel" and then to "desktop." Then select the name
of the picture file under the "wallpaper" list. Then
click "OK."
If you follow these instructions, you will have multiple L &
C things on your computer. An example is my computer. At startup
of windows it plays the L&C theme song. If I make a mistake,
it says, "Hello, Duh, Clark Kent is Superman!" When the
screen saver is on, tons of L&C pics flash before my eyes.
Also at startup of windows I see a picture (my wallpaper) of Lois
and Superman!
If you have any questions, which I'm sure you will, email them to
me and I will try to help you step by step to get these ideas to
work.

TODAY'S TRIVIA
Here is the question for today.....
Who is the current owner of the Daily Planet?
The answer to yesterday's trivia question: Sheldon Bender was
played by Barry Livingston, who as a child played
"Ernie" on the long-running 1960's TV series "My
Three Sons." Soundsquaw, Brearley, CFind1955, Ann-Marie
Myers, and MHebert974 got this one right. Dan Cataldo got the
show and the family right, but he guessed it was Stanley
Livingston (who played Ernie's brother, Chip, on the show.)
JennCu guessed that Bender was played by Jerry Mathers, the
Beaver.

L&C SOUNDS REVISITED
Here is a letter we got from Debby Stark....
"In a recent issue you suggested people put L&C sounds
on their computer.
There are a good many sounds to be found on my ftp site. They are
".au"
sounds and I think they're for the Mac (don't ask me, I don't
have a sound
card; I'm subleasing the space for the sound storage).
Also, there are a number of stories at my site, and I'd like to
have more.

Forever', as a reporter for GNN.
TODAY'S L&C TOP TEN LIST by Steve Silvestro
Here they are, the top ten people who keep yelling
"Help" whenever Lois & Clark start to talk about
their relationship:
#10. Some aspiring actor/actress who is trying out for the part
of an extra on 'Baywatch'.
#9. Some person Lois pays to do it ---- She just loves to see
Clark change into Superman.
#8. Darn writers ----- Don't want L&C to get together until
THE right moment, sometime five years from now.
#7. FOLC who'll do anything to meet Dean.
#6. Some wimpy, jealous guy who wants to see if Dean flexes when
he crosses his arms or if he's just that ripped.
#5. Dan Scardino, who hasn't gotten over being dumped by Lois.
What a shame =>.
#4. FOLC who can't find any L&C stuff in the stores and just
can't take it any more.
#3. Lois' father. He said he'd deep any guys away from her -----
even after he sat in the back of her prom with a shotgun.
#2. Some kid who just downloaded the picture of Teri in 'Cool
Surface' and his parents are coming.
And here it is. The #1
person(s) who keep yelling "Help!" whenever L&C get
together...............
Aliens whose planet is being bombarded by guns kicked by the
Resplendent Man, missiles shot at meteoroids, and the various
other things that have been hurled into space on the show that no
one has thought of since.
