Panel Discussion: Super careless?
It's a minor point in this panel from World's Finest #79, perhaps (reprinted in Showcase Presents: WF#1), especially compared to the awkward (redrawn?) Dick Sprang-drawn head on Supes, but couldn't the guy be a little less cavalier about discarding his civilian duds?
Unless he's using a super power of which I'm not aware to throw the clothes so that they'll land in a neat, undetectable, compressed pile--and I wouldn't be surprised to see this explained in a 1950s Superman story--it looks like Clark Kent's wardrobe is going to land on an unsuspecting passer-by somewhere on the streets of Metropolis.
This not only exposes Superman's secret identity, it exposes him to a lawsuit. Plus this story, "The Three Magicians of Baghdad," features the big guy traveling back in time a thousand years. Yet he can't spare a few seconds to fold and stash his clothes?
