What's so funny? Well, any Silver Age comic featuring The Joker is bound to have some mirth (though, not necessarily of the "Separated at Mirth" variety) in the mix, and DETECTIVE COMICS #341 (DC Comics, Cover Date: July, 1965) is no exception.
The cover copy proclaims "WHAT A SWITCH!" And, The Joker does indeed pull quite a switch on our baffled Boy Wonder!
But that's nothing compared to the "switch" apparently pulled (perhaps BY The Joker?) in a DC house ad in this very issue...
But, what's so... er, "FUNNY"? Let's look a little closer...
"For THE VERY BEST in FUNNY comics reading"...? BATMAN and THE FLASH?!
BATMAN and FLASH comics, especially in the Silver Age, have been known for many things...
...Many ODD things...
...Many, MANY odd things!
But, being INTENTIONALLY FUNNY was not one of them... as you can plainly... uh, plainly... see?
...AW, SKIP IT!
Regardless of what you've just seen, I still maintain that this...
...Was a TRICK by The Joker... or Mr. Mxyzptlk... or Bat-Mite...
...Where, more likely, it should have been THIS!
Yeah! That's more like it!
THOSE comics are MUCH FUNNIER than Batman... Bat...Buh...Ba...
BAT-MITE... NOW CUT THAT OUT!
Ba-Ba-Ba... BATS All Folks!
