ok, I am going insane.
Many years ago, in a Superman Comic book(had to be in the 80's) Superman remarks to someone (I think a kid) in a hospital about The Lady in the Moon.
As I am thinking about it, the moon had be replaced with a duplicate and Superman had noticed that the 'dimple' or 'the point of her nose' was off a little, which was what put him on to the moon-napping.
Anyway, I have told Elisabeth about the Lady in the Moon for years and for years she has politely smiled and told me I am nuts.
The image in the comic had a image of a lady looking right with her hair flowing down behind her and flairing out a little.
I have found many images of a 'lady in the moon' showing a woman looking left, but I can't find any showing her looking right.
Can anyone find this for me and send me the image?
Thanks
James

Actually I can see a lot of *ladies in the moon* in different angles!  But that's probably just me!

LOL Coolgirl! I subscribe to Sky & Telescope and Astronomy, and I have seen, a couple of times, that they have asked their readers to go out when there's a full moon and try to spot the lunar lady. Maybe you should send your picture to one of these magazines (or both of them) and challenge their readers to try to spot your Lady in the Moon? (What's her name, by the way? Lady Cool? Cool Lara? Lara in the Moon?) Ann

I haven't worn a triangle for years! very good, g8shades CG and g8shades, it's amazing what a powerful application MS-Paint becomes in the right hands *goes and deletes photoshop Sorry, James, but I don't have anything helpful to say on the matter. Good luck, Eva, humming "Man in the Moon" now P.S. I find this "Rabbit in the Moon" very convincing: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.stargazing.net/David/moon/almoon/Dscn2677s315crabbit.jpg)

Oooh! rabbits now? Heeee! Well, then I definitely wanna be the lady in the moon! Which, btw... in French, there's an expression that says "être dans la lune" (literally: "to be in the moon") which means to be distracted, or often, to be lost in a daydream. So that lady would SO totally be me. I live in a daydream, I'm *always* "dans la lune."

Yes, Eva, very convincing! Here's a better pic of the moon hare. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.planetfusion.co.uk/~pignut/moonhare.jpg) It would appear to be holding some sort of egg... Well, I guess that solves that mystery. (sorry James, I'll go back to my corner now)

God, that makes me laugh! She's called 'the bookworm', but let's pretend she's holding a box of double crunch fudge bars. And I think you're very clever to have drawn that! I got mine off a website! Lil' miss triangle dress is as good as it gets here, I'm afraid!
