The Best Present of All!
Description
Binky in "The Best Present of All!"
Comic description: A young boy named Allergy laments that he wasn't able to buy nicer presents for his father and Binky because he doesn't have as much money as they do. His father tells him that because he donated money to charity, sang Christmas carols to the elderly, and fixed up toys for children in the hospital, he gave the best present that anyone can actually give. He gave "real thought for other people's happiness".
[Image description: The cover of the comic shows superboy being shot out of a cannon. Two men look on in surprise. One says "What--? That's not a cannonball we shot out! It's Clark kent--No, it's SUPERBOY!".]
