Good morning, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Now I’ve seen everything! A TALKING COW!

Angus (clears throat):
Ahem—I am a minotaur, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Don’t you go stomping around in there! I have Hummels in the china closet!

Panel 4:
Angus (hesitant):
I… don’t… stomp…

Mrs. Elliot:
You’re brown. Does that mean you give chocolate milk?

Panel 5:
Angus:
That’s a myth, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Ok… So put me down for a quart of regular and a pint of heavy cream.

I AM NOT A COW!

TWIV: Joker

The Week in Villainy: Joker

Who’s Up and Who’s Thwarted

Joker: After lying low following the “Slayride” story where he had been hit by a truck, the Joker now has an upper hand. Currently in the Detective Comics line, he has Zatanna trapped in a water tank with a bullet in her throat (to prevent her from saying her backward spells) and Batman in an electric chair.

[DC] Zatanna guest-stars in Part 1 of a 2-part tale of magic, murder and madness by Paul Dini! When her former assistant is killed in a dangerous trick gone wrong, the Maid of Magic turns to Batman to uncover the real circumstances behind the young woman’s death, leading them to a confrontation with the mysterious illusionist Ivar Loxias — and an ultimately terrifying revelation.
