Alright, gather 'round, you troublemakers! Here’s your chance to jump into a contest hosted by none other than the infamous Joker himself. Now, isn’t that a twist? I gotta say, I love the audacity of having a contest run by a comic book villain. I mean, when was the last time you saw something like that? It’s a breath of fresh air in a world full of ordinary contests, if you ask me. And seriously, Batman sequel, take a hint!

The best part? The sponsor himself, the Joker, is out there, openly mocking his own rules. Now, that’s something you don’t see every day. It adds a whole new layer of excitement, doesn’t it? Imagine, the very guy you’re trying to outwit is making fun of the game rules. Classic Joker.

So, what's the grand prize, you ask? A trip straight to the heart of chaos: Gotham City. And guess what? You get to step into the legendary DC Comics office. Ever dreamt of becoming a supervillain? Well, this is your chance! Their talented artists will weave you into one of your favorite comic books. How cool is that? You could be plotting heists alongside the Joker, or maybe facing off with Batman himself.

But hold on, it doesn’t end there. Imagine taking your newfound villainy to the streets of real life. Picture this: you, holding the Statue of Liberty hostage, hiding it deep in the swamps of New Jersey. And lo and behold, a young Retroist stumbles upon your genius plan. Impressed by your cunning, he becomes your right-hand henchman, complete with a paraglider backpack and a flamethrower.

“Burn, do-gooders! You can run, but you can’t glide!” Now, how’s that for a catchphrase?

Didn’t snag the top prize? No worries! You automatically get thrown into an uproarious raffle. And what’s up for grabs, you ask? Ten Schwinn 10-speeds, of course! Perfect for making a quick escape from any meddling heroes in your neighborhood. I mean, who wouldn’t want a speedy getaway vehicle?

Oh, and for those who aren’t die-hard DC Comics fans, there’s an alternative version featuring the mighty Doctor Doom. Because, you know, even villains need options. So, there you have it – a chance to embrace your inner supervillain and maybe, just maybe, have a wickedly good time while you’re at it.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
