The Daily Planet’s Comics Page
From Chavez Mauricio and the Classic Comics Strips Facebook page:
The SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES season two episode “Mxyzpixilated”, shows a brief glance at the Daily Planet’s comic strip section, and it’s a wonderful homage to a dozen classic strips of old, while including several of the show’s creators!

*DINI THE MEANY is a “Calvin and Hobbes” homage…
*GLEEN is based on Peanuts and stars animators Shane Glines and Glen Murakami
*DAN DANGER is based on Dick Tracy and stars director Dan Riba
*MR. MXYZPTLK is credited to Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster (his actual creators)…
*ZUB STREET is not a homage… [a commenter suggests Mel Lazarus]
Comic strips created by Bruce Timm.
