Why would I want to punch Batman?
ReplyDeleteLook at the terrible artwork on the Batman bop bag.. Proportions are way off and he has no belt buckle. Let's punch the artist instead. :)
ReplyDeleteIs that Batman stock art from around 1955? What, they never heard of Carmine Infantino?
ReplyDeleteI like that the Muhammed Ali bop bag is signed "Muhammed Ali. Peace".
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used some of her blue chip stamps in the early 70's to buy me a Bozo the Clown punching bag. I split his nose pretty early on, as I had a wicked mean left hook when I was 5 years old.
