Ah! A clever bun in my nastygram box! HI HARLAN! I love you too, hello, hi!

Aha! My icon is a secret to everyone! Or, well, it is a part of a really old post that won’t even show up when I look up its tags. I think you might remember the whole thing, but it was so long ago I am pretty sure no one will get what I am talking about at all—That is how long ago it was! So secretly: you probably have my icon figured out better than anyone else, because it looks like a big yellow nonsense blob! It’s from the day I got a mystery book in the mail from pretty much the best dude, so it’s got a lot of sentimental value. The book was:

(As you can see, it is already demanding that we touch and feel it up)

And it’s pretty much the best book I’ve ever gotten, because it is ridiculous! I mean really:

I like to think someone like a really young Jimmy Olsen walked into the cave and just took a shitton of pictures right under everyone’s noses and this is the format he chose to present his shocking exposé to Mr. White in. And no on stopped him! Look, there is even a very convenient flap:

Batman:

Bruce Wayne:

He even posed for it, which is maybe my favorite part! But then there’s pages like this:

I don’t—

That is not—how are they even still inside the car?! Why would you choose to drive like this? Does Robin have his permit? It’s a book that raises a lot of questions.

The best part, though, is the end!

Who is Batman’s little helper?! It can be us! It’s us, we’re the Robin!

And so I got to be a Robin even while taking pictures of the book! I lived…my dreams!

So I kept it. (Also, I am pretty sure every comics cap or Robin icon has been used by bigger and better Robin tumblrs)
