scans_dailySo... the Penguin. What a wimp, right? Some writers make him one of the smartest Batman villains to make up for it; others portray him utterly pathetic on all fronts and ride it for every laugh it's worth.
And some writers just say nuts to all of that. Like Alan Grant, circa 1989's Secret Origins Special. A cut above most of Grant's work, if I do say so myself - but that might just be a result of the wonderfully moody art, which I find to be only enhanced by the poor paper/ink quality.

And now, the song parody (changing a few words around counts as parody, right?) that instantly popped to my head when I saw this page. Be warned: it was apparently so bad that none of my buddies on tumblr would reblog or even like the post.
And it’s the eye of the Penguin
The thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of those bullies
And the last known survivor
Stalks them all from the ice
And he’s watching them all with the eye…
… of the Penguin.
