God bless Evil Omar and the boys at "About Heroes" for bringing this panel to light.
Apparently this day begins "like any other", so this must be how Bruce & Dick wake up every morning. Hm; looks like Bruce fell asleep while still manacled to the bed. By the way, I'm assuming that Bruce's knee; I really hope that's Bruce's knee. If it isn't Bruce's knee, that would explain why he's put a cold shower on their agenda. Heh... "going down to the Bat-Cave" to "repair the Batmobile"; guess that's what the kids are calling it these days.
Anyway, Bruce is either so in need of a cold shower or still enervated from last night's rooftop romp with his ward that he's completely screwed up his haiku, with one too many syllables in his first line and one too few in his last. I'll edit it slightly for him, giving us:
That was a good sleep!
C'mon, Dick -- a cold shower,
and a big breakfast.
Don't you feel better now? I know I do.
What haiku occurs to you to celebrate the joy of waking up with your partner, like Bruce & Dick do?
Bruce makes it so hard,
ReplyDeleteFor we who claim he's straight-
(And for his young ward?)
this makes me sad inside
ReplyDeleteThey're not gay, oh no.
ReplyDeleteAs straight as arrows. Not gay.
(Paging Doc Wertham!)
Man. Get with the program.
ReplyDeleteThat's soooooo a week ago.
:-)
Waking up next to
ReplyDeleteDave from "Top Chef" is -- dang. I'm
still asleep, I guess.
There's nothing quite like
ReplyDeleteWaking up with your best chum
And some morning wood
You think this is bad?
ReplyDeleteRoy wakes up in a blonde wig,
smelling of chilli.
Oh, Pieface! Only
ReplyDeleteYou can give Hal what he needs:
"A blow to the head."
Well good morning Dick!
ReplyDeleteLend me a hand and we can
"De-ice" the "Bat-Plane"
Bruce has Dick. Ollie
ReplyDeletehas Speedy. But J'onn munches
cookies in the morn.
Like Bruce "Batman" Wayne,
ReplyDeleteI wake every morning
and reach out for Dick
With sincerity,
ReplyDeleteGay jokes about Bruce and Dick
Will never get old.
Bruce was very sad.
Dick had left him for Barbara
Looking for Batpoon
And, changing styles a bit...
There once was a hero named Batman
Who fought Joker, Bane, and the Cat-Man.
His youthful ward, Dick,
(Much more than sidekick)
Said "thank God he's not into scat, man"
we have a winner!
ReplyDeleteFetch the bat-cuffs, chum
ReplyDeleteAnd treat me like the Penguin.
The safety word: pow.
To strike fear in hearts
Is not the only purpose
Of this leather cowl
The next panel showed
Bruce's hidden agenda.
Two words: "Dutch Oven."
Jesus Christ, Batman!
ReplyDeleteThe kid's only ten years old!
What is wrong with you?
Is that a Batpole
ReplyDeleteIn your pocket or are you
Just pleased to see me?
(Hmm, gives a whole new meaning to the old TV show bat-phrase: "Quick, Dick, to the Batpole!" ;-) )
You realize, don't you,
ReplyDeletethat those are twin beds, right? Just
like Rob and Laura!
Wayne Manor can be
ReplyDeletecold at night. Just ask Alfred;
he's under the sheets.
