NARRATION: I am Batpug! Sole defender of… PANEL 2: All of a sudden the same scene is in day light, the magic broken as DIGBY, a brown daschund, enters the scene. His eyebrow is arched, as if wondering what OSO, still dressed as Batpug, is up to. NARRATION: Oh. Um. PANEL 3: OSO looks embarrassed as DIGBY continues to stand staring at him. No text. PANEL 4: The background is purple again with a burst of bright pink. OSO, in Batman cowl, leaps with mouth open and eyes wide, as in front of him joins DIGBY, now dressed up with a black mask over his eyes, yellow collared cape, and a circled S hanging from his collar (emulated Robin). DIGBY’s mouth is wide open with tongue out, spit flying. NARRATION: BEHOLD! BATPUG & SLOBBIN! Crime doesn’t sleep: so THEY handle that! ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?
