[…] Comics: my last post on Chino the Comic Book Street Vendor was linked at The Beat. I’ve heard someone say, somewhere, that you’re officially part of the comics blogosphere when Heidi links to you. I dunno, I suspect that’s probably BS, but its cool of Heidi anyway. […]

I know Chino. Good dude. I’ve long thought that if I went forward with my specific retail model he’d be the man I should try to hire.

Heck, I have jackets that close both ways. I never paid attention or cared about that sort of thing. I doubt the Joker frets over it too.

This would not be the first time the Joker has been drawn to wear women’s clothing.

Wasn’t the Joker originally wearing some kind of Madonna outfit in ARKHAM ASYLUM before it was “painted over?”

Heidi, he’s not Sir Gerald Scarfe, he’s Gerald Scarfe, CBE. He hasn’t been knighted.

Regarding Lee Bermejo’s joker coat: I get the feeling it’s intentional. Take a look at the shirts on all the men. They’re buttoned left to right, the correct way for a man. Perhaps Lee’s take on the Joker is that the Joker would wear the jacket he wanted (whether it be for a man or woman).

Lee’s art style is pretty harsh and and his shadows are almost like black shards of glass and it fits the dark tone of the story.

My beef is that the scene could have been told in two pages rather than the five it took.

Oh thanks for the linkage, Heidi. You’re a gem (obviously).
