Wow, what a poem, combining the crafty killing joke, current affairs and I saw what you did with the sneaky silhouette selfie! Is it my imagination or does the picture of the Joker in the “Beyond evil there is insanity…” still look like a cross between Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee? Or am a slowly going mad myself?

  Thanks FT. Now you mention it there is some kind of strange similarity between that pic and those two Doctors. Bizarre!

    I have an eye for these little details! I thought there was Tom Baker’s wide eyes look combined with the overall shape and jawline of Jon Pertwee. It was kinda freaky!

I wonder if any kid ever read through that entire Milk Duds sweepstakes ad.

  It’s quite a rant from Joker. He manages to explain the basics of the competition while grumbling about ‘rules’ and ‘superheroes’. I totally read it hearing the voice of Mark Hamill lol.
