Little Big (Bat)Man

Hey, why don't we take some picture pages from the 1969 Big Little Book Batman: The Cheetah Caper (by George S. Elrick) and string them together randomly for humorous effect? And by "we" I mean "me," but you're welcome to read along and join in the giggles!

  1. When I was a kid, this book installed the belief in me that all cheetahs love peanut butter.

  4. Is it just me, or could at least two thirds of those captions have actually have been the titles of DeVo albums?

  5. "Batman drops the snake in the trunk"

    Hell yeah he does. All night long, baby. Uhh! Oh yeah! Drop that snake!



    What? It's poisonous, he should put it in a safe place.

  6. In that 7th image ("Another Jar of Peanut Butter") why are those man's spectacles on fire? Or is his hat smoking?

    Perhaps Robin shouldn't bend over when he says to the orangutan "Be My Guest"?

    "Commissioner Gordon Stalked Off". Meanwhile, Batman turned to Robin and said, "Time to clout your orangutan through the manhole, old chum". ;)
