In "The Joker's Practical Jokes!" from Batman #123 (1959), the Clown Prince of Crime unleashes a series of bizarre, job-themed heists that turn everyday professions into slapstick chaos—complete with skyhooks and left-handed monkey-wrenches. With a mischievous flair and a flair for the absurd, he pushes Gotham’s limits in ways that test Batman’s patience and wit.
