No Shirt, No Shoes, No Crime, No Service.
Well, this just doesn’t seem fair…
What if they just want to buy something?

Maybe he just sees a peremptory beating coming.

Okay, that room was drawn with the worst perspective EVER. How much acid was the artist dropping when he sketched it?

“No crime has been committed here!”
And a guy standing in front of a suspiciously empty cash register wouldn’t *lie* about that sort of thing!

What if they just need change?
DaveD : Don’t you know why the cash register seems empty??? Wait… That’s right : another proof of the almighty MAGNETISM !

Either his head shrank, or Robin’s really been putting on some weight. Also, checkout The Batman’s perfectly rectangular skull and HUGE forehead. I don’t know if acid was involved, but something was going on there.

What kind of store is that supposed to be? The acid the colorist was taking made him color the floor two different shades of orange.
March 21st, 2008 at 10:03 am
@Clarkins To be fair to said stoned artist, the darker shade of orange is seen trough a glass table.

@Kira : nooooo, the cash register is levitating due to the amazing power of the MAGNETISM !!!

“So, then you don’t validate parking.”

That some good looking gold cash register!

“Stand back Citizen! Robin needs to use the bathroom PRONTO!”
March 21st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
the only crime commited in this ara was to let the architect build this shop the way he wanted…non-euclideacally!!!
March 21st, 2008 at 1:15 pm
err…that would be “area”, of course :/
March 21st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
“Comisioner Gordon?? What are you doing behind that cash register?!”
March 21st, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Sadly enough, Batman and Robin were in such a hurry that they didn’t see the trip wire which they were about to set off.
And to Dierna…That is Commissioner Gordon’s twin brother, Jacob “I-work-on-commission” Gordon.

This looks like a clear-cut case of racial discrimination. The store owner doesn’t want people with white eyes there, unless of course there’s some crime to investigate.
Also, I think Bats went overboard with the starch on his cape. Or he’s running REALLY fast.

Actually, the sad part is that the artist was obviously trying real hard, look at the attempts at perspective while trying to make the scene look ‘dynamic’ by setting up a strong diagonal composition, and because he had Batman and Robin charging through the door together he had to make the doorframe about 5 feet wide, (while the door is what, 2 feet wide) He´s even trying to handle foreshortning. The glass top is actually a clever touch. (even mysteriously floating in air like that) It all adds up to something incredibly goofy, but he’s definetly in there pitching.

The name of this story is “The Case Without a Crime!”…subtitled “The Comic Creators With Writer’s Block!”
March 22nd, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Clearly the only crime going on there is the guy’s moustache.

“No crime has been committed here! I was just, eh, just…just checking the wood finish on the cash drawer, yeah, that’s the ticket, just checking the finish on the cash drawer. It looks a little dry – tell ya what, you guys stay here and i’ll, er, I’ll..run down to the hardware store for some tung oil! Yeah, that’s the ticket!”

No crime, my good man? What do you call that green suit you’re wearing? Or the ridiculous outfits my cohort and I have on?
Maybe it’s not a CRIME that should be COMMITTED here.
Maybe it’s US.
