What dopes, don’t they know that with Commissioner Gordon tied up they can steal all the fruit pies they want and all the resistance they will get is some fist wagging.
Note to fist wagging Electronics Store clerk, no law means you can fight back without legal consequences. I would introduce Larry the Looter to “Ol’ Bess Blunderbuss”.
Looks like the Disco brothers captured Alfred the Butler not Comissioner Gordon, and if it cause this much city panic why not keep it secret? Hell you can cause a huge riot just by a rumor of a kidnapping. Love the guy in purple, Marv Albert hair and Picasso moustache.
“Real fruit filling … tender…”
Good lord, the pies are made out of Robin!
Ah ha. This explains what’s happening in London even as we speak. Somebody kidnapped the London Police Commisioner! No wonder the rioters can’t be controlled!
70s Batman – straight out of the Super Friends! (I found Aquaman less than super btw).
That fellow in the purple IS Charles Bronson. 70s Deathwish Bronson. In look, not deed, however.
_@_v – yeah… because police do so much that the cop on the beat would be positively crippled without his guiding hands… must be hell when old man gordo goes on his annual fishing trip.

This. Is. Just. Pathetic.
Anybody want to volunteer to build a xtranormal video based on the strip?
I believe that is Joseph Bologna in the green jacket.
Huh??? Does Batman regularly carry around a bag filled with Hostess Fruit Pies? Or did the kidnappers pick him up as he was leaving Gotham Grocery?
Little known compartment of the utility belt contains large supply of Hostess wholesome goodness, citizen.
The man in green pants seems to be taking a toaster, a first generation water pi(c)k, and a coffee maker (still in the box.)
“In that case, let’s enjoy some snacks” is my new motto.

Met Burt Ward (TV’s Dick Grayson: AKA Robin) at a personal appearance in Elk Grove CA back in 1975 when I was 8. Full on costume for the appearance. When we asked what he kept in the utility belt, he inventoried a mighty list of crime fighting gear – and finished with “even an extra pair of Green Underwear” then winked at the comely young Moms behind us.
Like being Rick Rolled.
The world changed for me that day.
It appears that Mr. Ward required a sip or two (or a whole flask) of courage when he made personal appearances back in those days, later revealed in his tell-all book BOY WONDER : My Life In Tights or Holy Garbage!
“The world changed for me that day.”
Sound like the beginning of “Jimmy Corrigan: World’s Smartest Boy”
I saw Deforest Kelly under lubricated conditions. (him not me).
Anyone with a modicum of sense would have moved out of Gotham City years ago. What with its incompetant police force, dozens of costumed psychopaths, and a gloomy weirdo dressed as a bat, it makes South Central L.A. sound like a vacation.
I have a modicum of sense. It’s where I keep my pennies until I cache them in.
(Sorry. I’ll just go lay down by my bowl now.)
Well, *I* always carry around a bagful of Hostess Fruit Pies, so this seems reasonable to me.
that was NOT batman!!! stop lisening to corporate media LIES!!! it was the bush puppett captain amazing that corupted the Freedom Fighters of Gotham. wake up sheeple
When I read the ad, Batman was speaking in Adam West’s voice.
Seems only fair, considering that Adam West spoke in Batman’s voice.
I just wish that Chris Nolan had filmed this for an extra on the Dark Knight DVD, with Gary Oldman and Christian Bale.
I can’t get fruit pies in LoCo (aka Dulles) grocery stores, so I spent a week in the cooking lab at the John C. Campbell Folk School developing the recipe –

I can remember seeing this when I was 8-years-old – and thought is was incredibly lame then! Actually, to really demonstrate my nerdiness, this irritated me because the “real” Batman would never act like this!
Now, the Adam West Batman – oh yeah!
Yeesh.
Oh, and MikeH, I think you meant to say “Love the guy in purple, Marv Albert hair and Dali moustache.” Picasso wasn’t known to cover up that rather simian
upper lip of his…
Shouldn’t his moniker be The Batman, as in The Ohio State University, and The Gator Nation? Also, the ad agency blew it when had the crooks using the product instead of the heroes.
Ross thank you for the correction, I had the right guy in mind, wrong name.
