Batman — Celebrating the Silly

If you’re ever feeling down, or as if the weight of the world is bearing down on you, I would prescribe thumbing through an old silver age comic book — a 12-cent comic is the sure cure for turning any frown upside down. Of course, I would recommend an old issue of Batman for the most serious case of the Mondays, because the ridiculous knob is always turned way, way up in these books. As an example, I thought I would post some panels from a particularly campy issue, Batman #160. Enjoy!

And, of course my favorite panel…

The campiness of the Adam West/Burt Ward Batman TV show aint got nuthin’ on the comic books upon which it was based!
