I previously posted a few Joker stories on this blog. I posted The Joker Walks The Last Mile here, The Happy Victims here and The Joker’s Movie Crimes here. In the next couple of weeks I will be posting two of my favourite Joker stories from the 1970s, The Joker’s Five Way Revenge and This One’ll Kill You Batman.

 

Rackety-Rax Racket is a Joker story from the late 1940s (I think), a time when the Joker was in a transitional phase, from a cold blooded murderer to a pest who would pull elaborate pranks to make Batman look foolish.

 













Here is the final part of the debut story of Jack Kirby’s Kamandi. Part 1 was posted here and Part 2 was posted here. When last we left Kamandi he was caught up in the war between tigers and leopards.








Cricket Australia must really hate Victoria. Why else would they refuse letting Cameron White and David Hussey play in the state 20/20 championship finals that if the Vics win, would enable them to play in the world 20/20 championships in India? Why else would they allow NSW to choose a ringer in New Zealand test player in Brendan McCullum to play in the final when he is not a NSW player? Obviously Cricket Australia want NSW to win, even though Victoria has lost just one 20/20 match in three years.

Also, I must talk about all this hype about David Warner. He made a big score in his first outing in green and gold in the 20/20 match against South Africa a couple of weeks ago at the MCG. Straight after that match many people were saying that he should be in the Australian test team and that he was the real deal. Since then he has been a miserable failure. What annoys me is that other players pay their dues and are stuck playing good cricket for their state year after year yet are never chosen to play for Australia, yet Warner was still able to play for Australia without playing a single first class match, even though it was just for a meaningless series of shit and giggles, just because he is from NSW.

And people wonder why us Victorians feel like Cricket Australia and the Australian selectors hate Victorian cricketers.

1989

What is it with Australian FM radio stations and the 80s? Roy and HG are now doing the Triple M drive time slot with their unlistenable drivel, whilst Gold FM have dropped the very talented Julia Zemiro so that Jonathon Coleman can be reunited with Ian Rogerson. Does no one realise that it is 2009 and not 1989? I suppose I could listen to Fox FM’s Hamish and Andy, like everyone else does these days, but I find them unfunny and Fox’s music really crappy. Nova is just as bad with both music and on air talent, so it looks like I may have to listen to talkback radio.
