Welcome to Two-Headed Nerd Episode #660, where our sentient Cosmic Longbox is forcing us into classic comic book reviews based on a theme. This time our sentient Longbox is pumped for spring and playing an April Fools joke on us with the theme Comic Book Fools! We’ll be taking a look at characters that make humor part of their schtick, whether that’s actually being funny or just dressing funny and killing people. As a bonus, we’ll decide if these characters are actually funny fools, or just fools to be pitied.
