"Super-Mac" was the subject of a cartoon, "Introducing Super-Mac", by "Vicky" ( Victor Weisz, 1913–1966), in the Evening Standard in London, England, on 6 November 1958.

With its rather dismissive caption, "How to Try to Continue to be Top Without Actually Having Been There", this depicted Harold Macmillan (1894–1986), who was British Prime Minister (1957–63), in the guise of the comic-book hero Superman (created in 1932 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster). The cartoon was signed "Vicky – with apologies to Stephen Potter", an acknowledgement of the full title of Potter's book of 1958, Supermanship, or, How to Continue to Stay Top without Actually Falling Apart.
