Nerrotic Recluse and Attempted Artist

TWO YEARS!!!

(( As it's his birthday, I get to introduce you all to my favorite bit of unsubstantiated but teasingly possible Penguin information. Bob Kane and Bill Finger co-created the character, and both have their own stories as to what inspired the design. Bill Finger, long uncredited for his role in early Batman comics, said he was "inspired by emperor penguins, who reminded him of stuffy English gentlemen in tuxedos. The resulting caricature of an aristocratic type included a top hat, a monocle, a cigarette holder, and a umbrella." Kane, though? He said there was a specific inspiration, more than just a send up of the stuffy rich. He said it was "the little penguin who appeared in print to advertise Kool menthol cigarettes and also hawked them on the radio with his insistent falsetto slogan, “Smoke Kooools!"
