Riddle 004: Stumped?

...Harley. Are you at home right now? I... I need to talk to someone.

[Ed's not sounding so good.]

I'm more amazed at the fact that Robin was so quick to come to that answer.

....And they think we're the insane ones.

[He's given up on this issue, setting it down and picking up Worlds' Finest Comics #3, featuring the first appearance of the Scarecrow.]

Oh, goodie. A story about Jonathan. I wonder what it'll be about?

[He flips it open.]

Fear. Never would have guessed.

[And is looking over your shoulder again]

Is he in spandex too?

No, no, straw. Very Worzel Gummidge.

Hardly frightening enough to be considered a Scarecrow.

[Is he scary? You be the judge (http://www.comics101.com/comics101//news/Comics%20101/67/scarecrow.jpg)]

.....why is he red?

And where are his hands?

This art's about as laughable as these so-called "riddles" I had.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Really.

...I'm kinda glad I'm not in any of these now.

Still....

[She cracks up and points to a picture of Batman smiling]

Can you imagene if we showed these back home?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Wouldn't that be something? Just to see the look on Batman's face! ...I don't think even he remembers the last time he smiled.

[Scanning the pages.]

...or the last time he called anyone "Old Chum," for that matter.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's been ages, that's for sure.

[Laughs at that]

Old chum? Really?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Take a look.

[He hands her his comic and points to a bubble towards the bottom of the page. But something else (http://luchins.com/category/what-were-they-thinking/batman/page/4/) has already caught his eye.]

Oh my. What do we have here?

[He takes the comic in his hands and laughs hysterically.]

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
.....a..baby?

[Bursts out laughing as well.]

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
S-seriously, how ridiculous c-could it---

[He can't even finish his question, he's laughing so hard.]
