Gone Fishin'

Tomorrow, May 12th, marks the fishing season opener here in Minnesota. 

Traditionally (and curiously) slated for the same weekend as Mother's Day, Minnesotans load up their boats, campers, fishing equipment and coolers and hit one of our 10,000-plus lakes.  As you can see from the cover of Comic Cavalcade #21 (1947), even A-list superheroes love fishing in the great Northland...

How would I know they're fishing in Minnesota?   
Well, imagine my surprise when reading a story in
Flash Comics #7 (1940) and coming across this panel...

But that wasn't all!  Later in the story, Flash
even refers to my good ol' hometown of Duluth!

Superheroes in New York or Los Angeles? 
No big deal...but Duluth?  Not likely....making
Jay's brief Golden Age visit to the Upper Midwest
all the more surprising.

So, with Jay's earlier Minnesota visit established, it's no surprise that he'd want to return with his closest friends for some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
