Last time I read this I don't think I noticed that one of the rioters was a dog.

Aw, you left out the best part, where Humpty explains to White just why he asked him to be assigned to his cell.

But yeah, Humpty is really interesting and well written, and quite possibly the first inmate we've met that's actually crazy and /not malevolent/.

Yeah, Humpty's a genuinely interesting character. It's disappointing he hasn't been used more effectively since.

Ok you got me curious:

Why did Humpty ask White to be assigned to his cell?

[cyberghostface]

He thinks he can ‘fix’ Warren.

"You're about the worst person I've ever met. But I'm sure that if I reach in deep... I can fix you."

Another thing left out is the fact that White mentions the "Sprang Act" which prohibits putting oversized props on the roof of Gotham buildings, caused by Humpty's last act of unintentional sabotage causing them all to fall onto the city streets.

Which is of course a nod to Dick Sprang, the golden age artist for Batman who also had a thing for giant oversized prop objects.

The Sprang Act is mentioned in the scans, and yes, that's a nice touch.

They made for such fun deathtraps

Yep, if you see a giant typewriter or bowling alley, you're in Gotham! :)
