Peaked Cap: for people who don't dare to wear a beret

From Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #106
The story begins with a very smug Lois telling Clark about the Pulitzer Prize she's going to win for writing a story about Metropolis's Little Africa section of town. Clark decides to keep an eye on her as Superman, because he knows she's going to get in trouble.
Lois hails a cab and is greeted by Benny the Beret. It's obvious that when Lois wants a cab, Benny is always there to help her out.
Things get interesting when Lois turns black (yes, I know...) and the effect that has on Benny... Alas, written almost 50 years ago, different times and attitudes.
Daan Kolthoff is a writer, living between the hills of Wellington, New Zealand and, when not writing, meditating or walking the hills, he is usually researching, reading about or ordering berets from around the world.
Different times but I don't think attitudes have really changed all that much - sad to say.
