Separated at Mirth: Robin Hauls Ascot!


Sure, they've met before... in both animation and comics...


But, ya gotta wonder if Robin (in his secret identity as Dick Grayson) may have met Scooby-Doo's Freddy (in his not-so-secret identity as Fred Jones) before even that!

For this, we turn to the Robin back-up story in BATMAN # 231 (DC Comics, Cover Date: May, 1971)...


...Where Master Dick appears to be emulating the fashion sense of Master Fred! 


Rock that ascot, Dick! 



Since both Dick Grayson and Fred Jones are noted crime-busters and mystery-solvers, perhaps, rather than "Separated at Mirth", we should regards this as an example of "Divided at Detecting"!


Of course, I could be all wet about this, and he probably just took a few fashion tips from Master Bruce!
