Issue summary

The Joker's Comedy Of Errors: (Batman) This is the issue dealing the Joker's "boner." You've probably seen the image of Joker outraged over a headline in the newspaper. People are laughing at his "boner." Since this issue came out in 1951, boner clearly had a different meaning. What happened was Joker tried committing a wacky crime and it backfired on him. He became a laughing stalk and vowed to turn the boner around on Batman. It was all innocent fun. Surprisingly, the word boner appears almost forty times. Casey The Cop: (humor strip by Henry Boltenof) The Movie Stars Who Died Twice: (Batman) Captain Tootsie: (Tootsie Roll add) Jerry The Jitterbug: (humor strip by Henry Boltenof) Script Sleuths: (text story) Casey The Cop: (humor strip by Henry Boltenof) Batman II And Robin, Junior: (Batman) Dick dreams about a future when Bruce has retired, he is Batman and his son is Robin.
