People say superhero movies are dead. I say they're just not choosing the right comics for inspiration. I would definitely watch a movie based on this storyline.

I have thought for a while that a Superman movie with Mr. Mxyzptlk in it would be a good idea.
With James Gunn running things it's a distinct possibility
This issue.of Superman precedes "Yellow Submarine" by 27 years.
Given the emphasis of the preceding post on the letters PZ, it is interesting that they occur in the sequence of letters along the side of the banana cum submarine. There are eight letters in the series: PZ are the central letters. I am myself intrigued by the possibility that PZ might be the Greek letters rho zeta (perhaps pronounced auf Amerikanisch similarly to "rosetta"). When I google "rho zeta", I find that there is indeed a figure named Zeta-Rho, apparently a villian of some significance in one or more of the Superman mythoi.
Good catch, Wade. There's actually a very direct link to the PZ post, as I discovered this Superman cover while skimming the archives of PZ Myers's blog:

The PZ only appear because this comic uses the Silver-Age spelling of the infernal imp's name. Most of my references on this blog uses the Golden-Age spelling.

The bolded word impossible in Mxy's thought balloon also syncs with the other meaning of PZ, which is Probability Zero.
