One could also argue that it resembles some of the various versions of the rocket that brought Superman to Earth as depicted in early comic books - Not that big a resemblance though, due to the very different tip and fins.
It has some features in common with the one used in 1350: Lorenz as can be seen here under the Rocket launch theme - color scheme the same, but different body of the rocket.
Planet krypton movie#
Whereas the Kal-El rocket clearly looks like the one in the 1978 Superman, a movie which is also the origin of the title text joke, the Earth baby rocket looks like any nondescript rocket.Transcript Cueball: The distant planet Krypton is becoming unstable! Baby crying (from outside the panel): Waaaaaa Megan: That crying baby is really annoying. The title text is a satirical version of this information, given to the Earth baby during his trip: That Megan & Cueball do not have the faintest idea (or care about) what the sun and gravity of Krypton will do to it - but their best guess at what these mostly will do to it is to "make you out of earshot from Earth", which was their original reason for shipping the baby off in the first place. During the very long trip he listens to the recordings, one of which explains that the Sun and gravity of Earth will give him (Kal-El) great powers (this is the way he becomes Superman). In the Superman movie, Kal-El carries with him a lot of information pre-recorded by his parents. In the fifth and last panel we see Krypton explode into multiple pieces, also emitting a disc-like wave from the assumed equator. The rocket containing the Earth baby arrives at planet Krypton, while the crystal star shaped spaceship containing Kal-El leaves Krypton towards Earth - this is a reference to the version of the spaceship depicted in the 1978 Superman movie, (see trivia section). In the fourth panel both spaceships can be seen. In this comic, Cueball and Megan also notice that the planet Krypton is about to explode, but instead of attempting to save a baby from Krypton, they decide to send a baby to Krypton from Earth so that it'll stop annoying them with its crying. In the Superman story, Jor-El and his wife Lara notice that their home planet Krypton is about to be destroyed in a giant explosion, so they decide to send their baby Kal-El to Earth to save him - and there he becomes Superman.
This comic is an inverse version of the origin story of the superhero character Superman. Title text: Their Sun and gravity will make you, uh, something, I guess.
