Synopsis:
An artist, Willis Fotheringay, is assigned to create a picture of Superman for use on a postage stamp. When he finally gets an inspirational pose to use, Superman begs him not to use the picture. Fotheringay gives Superman a chance to come up with a more dramatic scene, but the artist isn't impressed.

Superman refuses to explain his reason for not wanting the picture used, but he finally gets his way when the artist comes up with a more inspirational pose. Superman is happy with the new pose and the stamp is issued. The reason for Superman's misgivings was that when the name of a town with a double-o was stamped on the stamp, the "O"s would have formed glasses around his eyes, possibly exposing his secret identity as Clark Kent.
