Explanation[edit | edit source]

Frank Miller's notorious "All Star Batman And Robin" features the line, said by Batman, "What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the Goddamn Batman", a line widely mocked for (among other things) being both stupid even by comic book standards, and being wildly out of character for non-Frank-Miller-written versions of Batman. The author's comment further establishes this as a jab at Miller by mentioning the excessively long delays associated with ASBAR.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Garfield, as written (mostly) by Frank Miller. The next comic will likely be out sometime in the next decade or so.

While I did come up with the idea for this before I read Colin Foster's Frank Miller's Garfield, I still feel kudos is in order for travelling along the same thought train (and beating me to the punch). Even if we were sitting in different cars.

Original strips: 1997-10-29, 1997-10-30.

Transcript[edit | edit source]
