SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
You mighta heard that Mark Waid and Chris Samnee have a new, 12-issue series starting in October — Batman and Robin: Year One. If you haven’t heard, that’s kind of a surprise because we’ve been beating that drum like silly with five stories over the last few days.
Well, here’s another! Dig this three-pager by Kerry from 2018’s Mad #1. Or, as I like to think of it, an outtake from the upcoming series:

That’s Lex’s niece Nasty he brought along, isn’t it? lol

Yes!

Here’s where all the villain’s sidekicks came from– Lex’s niece NASTY is from 1970’s Adventure Comics #397 (I aged her down). The Joker’s sidekick GAGGY is from 1966’s Batman #186 ( I took the liberty to change him from a little person to a kid). Cheetah’s sidekick KITTEN is from 1976’s Super Friends #1 (it might be her only appearance). It was TOUGH finding kid sidekicks for super villains! I wanted to stay authentic, but had to cheat just a little.

Very funny, as always! But no love for Green Arrow and Speedy? Awwww…
Maybe not appropriate for this gathering, but imagine if Star-Spangled Kid had showed up with his sidekick! Poor Stripesy, being made to sit at the kids table…

Speedy was likely still in rehab…
