Some are
familiar to those of us with a humorous musical bent (“bent” – see what I did
there?), although I hope many of the tunes are as new and delightful to you as
they were to me upon first discovering them.
Our cover
art:
·
The guy on the left is, of course, a fine fellow
who’s convinced
he’s Napoleon. The
original art came from here.
·
The center guy is Psycho Weasel, one of the Toon
Patrol from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
In turn, the weasels of the Toon Patrol were based on the sneaky weasel
characters of Disney’s
1949 Wind in the Willows animated feature.
·
Our right-hand man is, of course, the Joker,
Batman’s nemesis. The image comes from a 1966
Topps set, which was launched to cash in on the popularity of the ABC-TV
show.
And the key to the madhouse is here. UPDATED 2021 LINK
