'Bat Mouse?'
Added 2023-06-23 08:00:05 +0000 UTCHere's another nerdy fact-based comic, similar to last month's 'Brat Man' strip.
This is a bit of a departure from my normal strips but I love exploring different styles, so I hope you'll allow me to be a little self-indulgent once in a while :)
I read The Bat Bandit when I was a kid and always assumed that the character was a playful nod to Batman. It was only when I recently revisited the comic and checked the publication date that I realised... Disney got there first!
So what do you think? Do you see the similarities? Or do I have bats in the belfry?🦇🦇🦇

Good point! The Lone Ranger may have been an influence too. There were a lot of mysterious masked men around back then :)
