I saw this a while ago and it really is great. I hope more people start reading it, and also that DC gives this guy a bunch of money to turn it into a bigger project. posted by HostBryan at 12:37 PM on May 6, 2012
So cute. This one got a laugh out of me, and on a day when grading finals has got me pretty low. Thanks! posted by TreeRooster at 12:52 PM on May 6, 2012
DANG IT, BARRY!! (I lol'd.)
They got me at “Mr. Schwartz”.
Me too. I was friends with Julie late in his life and I like to think he would have found this charming.
I haven't made it through all the strips yet, but I hope that if they haven't already introduced Ra's al-Ghul somehow that they do it soon. That would absolutely have made Julie's day. posted by That's Numberwang! at 1:04 PM on May 6, 2012
If this comic were a puppy I'd crush it to death with hugs and kisses. posted by device55 at 1:21 PM on May 6, 2012
Well, I could've done w/out making Power Girl so ditzy, but then I giggled that she was reading Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!. posted by emjaybee at 1:44 PM on May 6, 2012
It's not really Peanuts-esque, but it's pretty clever. posted by JHarris at 3:41 PM on May 6, 2012
I'm pretty relieved that it's not Peanuts-esque; although "doing X in the style of Y" can still produce some decent results in the hands of a genuinely creative artist, the metaconcept is so tired that sometimes I don't even want to click through. But this is making me laugh repeatedly, especially the one where Batman and Superman are playing at being Spider-Man.
Also, I'm pretty sure that I actually had Darkseid as a gym teacher, more than once. posted by Halloween Jack at 7:05 PM on May 6, 2012
That's great.
Whatever happened to the guy who was doing the "Little Batman" strips? I think that was on MeFi, too. posted by Curious Artificer at 7:47 PM on May 6, 2012
Yeah these are great, but what is the legality of publishing stuff like this online? I imagine that the more widely read these become, the faster the DC people will have them taken down. posted by hermitosis at 7:56 PM on May 6, 2012

I took that from Comics Worth Reading's description: "Stewart has the Peanuts-like sensibility of a young Charles Schulz, treating his characters as though they have the neuroses of adults and the interests of children." posted by jedicus at 8:58 PM on May 6, 2012
My love of the Adam West Batman show and The Animated Series means that bringing up the Gray Ghost is a sure-fire way to win me over. That it came up in the first strip is a good sign. posted by ckape at 10:11 PM on May 6, 2012
I thought this had been posted on MeFi before.
If not, can I highlight this one?
Not the funniest, but touching. posted by Mezentian at 1:31 AM on May 7, 2012

Yeah, Batman always was kinda anti-social. posted by valkyryn at 5:26 AM on May 7, 2012
Wait, who is the kid in the red hood? Is that supposed to be Robin #2? posted by oddman at 5:40 PM on May 7, 2012
Good stuff.. a few gems in there, but I laughed at "The Green Nightlight". posted by MattScully at 7:29 AM on May 8, 2012
