In addition to my daily comic strip @effinbirds, I'm now writing @literalrobin, a comic that asks "what if Batman was an octopus and his sidekick was a literal robin?"

Keep your eyes peeled for some Batman 66 hat-tips.

#1: The Octopusman vs Crypto King

One of the greatest joys of my life was receiving a treasure trove of producer William Dozier’s memos and letters. The amount of intention, the delicate balancing act required for this kind of humour, he was so aware of it and the writers worked so hard to get it just right. The fact that they did it while also working at an absurd pace — the show debuted early, as a mid-season replacement, and was such a hit that they had to deliver season two for the September date that they were planning to deliver season one, AND they made a feature film between seasons, AND they ran twice a week in season two, a sixty episode season — is astonishing to me. They did so much so well in such a short period of time.

One of your recent posts got flagged for adult content and I'm DYING to know what was there

It was a GIF of Robin, tied up and gagged, on a statue of a horse.
