Nice to see Mxyzptlk can send press releases from the Fifth Dimension.

I thought "Joke Warfare" was banned by a special provision of the Geneva Convention, and the last copy of the Killer Joke sealed and buried.

"Nice to see Mxyzptlk can send press releases from the Fifth Dimension."

Not to mention the implication that both Bizarro and Mr. Mxyzptlk have publicity photos all the newspapers have on file.

"I thought "Joke Warfare" was banned by a special provision of the Geneva Convention..."

Mr. Mxyzptlk is obviously exploiting a loophole in that document, since "pranks" are never specifically mentioned. The language clearly banned "joke warfare", but left other forms of humor wide open for interpretations, such as pranks, parodies, and limericks. Hence Mxy's continued proliferation of prank warfare.

I immediately get mental images of Whoopie cushions smuggled into the Supreme Soviet.
