Monday PSA: Superboy - Job Counselor
Filed under: Comics
Just in time for Labor Day, here is Superboy: Job Counselor. It’s actually a pretty good PSA, suggesting that people find a career involving what they enjoy. College is mentioned, as are various trades. No sexism either — you’ll notice there’s only one woman shown, but she’s the only character actually going to college.
I do wonder why Superboy is cruising the employment agencies, though.
This PSA comes from the August/September 1950 issues of various DC comics including Action Comics #147, Batman #60, and World’s Finest #47. As always, the PSA was written by Jack Schiff. Art is by frequent PSA collaborator Win Mortimer.

I find it funny that the intrepid youth is named Jim because that’s my name and I could really have used some guidance when I was in school. Where was Superboy when I needed him?

What is nice is the girl is studying to be a scientist and not a ‘normal girl pursuit’.
