365 Days of DC House Ads, Day 357: Great Legal Decisions of Our Time

Larry the judge, Balki the bailiff, Urkel the undertaker...they were all there at the murder of Batman.

House ad for Detective Comics (1937 series) #72 (February 1943); printed in Batman (1940 series) #15 (February-March 1943)

'Holy notarized documents, Batman! How do we escape this one?' 'Quite simply, Robin. He may have a stamped license to kill Batman, but he does NOT have...a license for that green suit.'

That's because Larry's diploma came from the Yancy Street Law School.
