Hey people. So Brian and I figure we’re gonna get a lot of crap from people about this week’s page. Now, I understand the use of the word ‘retard’ is considered rude and offensive by some, and I kinda fall into that group. Allow me to explain why Brian and I are went there.
This week’s page is meant to be a homage to one of the great comic book creators of our time, Mr. Frank Miller. If you don’t know who he is (and I’m thinking this is more for my older female family members), Mr. Miller is credited with helping bring about the modern age of comics as we know it. He helped introduce adult storylines to an industry that typically pandered to the under-12 crowd, and he brought a level of sophistication to graphic storytelling that is still revolutionary. Some of his groundbreaking works include: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born Again, Sin City, and 300. If you haven’t read any of this man’s stories, I suggest you get to it.
Anyway, most comic fans get the reference in this weeks strip. The “Goddamn Batman” meme has been going around since Frank introduced it in the pages of “All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder” in 2005.
Who knew Batman was such a pottymouth?
Brian and I are kinda late to the game, but we don’t care. Brian just wanted to have the Blue Tit yell out “I’m the Goddamn Blue Tit!” and now he has. Good times…
Please don’t hate us.

Yes he is.
