I'm reading this 94 Batman story, Going Sane, and it got me to thinking that whenever Joker starts to geek out about old comedians he likes (a shtick of his he revisits occasionally) they're all WASPy as fuck, like you never hear about Joker finding Moms Mabley hilarious

I do love that the episode is both a tribute to such people and a vicious attack on such people, like the actual Mad Bomber turns out to be the comic book store guy who is just a monstrously unlikable human being even before we learn his secret
