Sketch o’the Week- Batman and Robin!

Strictly speaking “Batman” was never shown in an after school time slot, but it was a show from that same time period of the late 60’s that didn’t just entertain me, but had a major impact on my entire life. That is no exaggeration! I credit the “Batman” TV show for sending me down the path that ended up with my having a career as a cartoonist. Our sketch this week is of Adam West and Burt Ward in their titular roles as the Dynamic Duo. 

I was drawn to the “Batman” tv show as a very young kid… I’m talking two years old. When I heard the opening theme song playing I would come running. My mom would then pin a bath towel around my neck for a makeshift cape, and I’d spend the next 30 minutes glued to our tiny TV on a rickety TV stand. My parents told a story about how I knocked the TV off its stand when jumping around and the tube exploded. Batman had a sore bottom that day.
