From Detective Comics #569, the first issue of the seminal, if far too short Mike W Barr / Alan Davis Detective Comcis run back in 1986

Let's hear it for "Straight Line", the hardest working henchman in Gotham City.

He may not look like much, he's not the biggest, or the strongest, but he knows how the game is played.

Straight Line knows that when you work for the Joker, the only way to break your overly-dramatic criminal artist (with casually homicidal tendencies) of a boss out of one of his dangerously depressive funks, is by outdoing him with the dramatics, whilst simultaneously NOT outdoing him with the dramatics (no one upstages the Joker). It's a fine line, but he walks it well, and the rest of the henchmen LOVE him for it.

And to me, this is perhaps THE last gasp of the "old school" Joker in the comics. Still primarily a "criminal first, killer second" character, who will plan complicated, themed heists (With henchmen with appropriate nicknames) to make sure people remember he's the Joker, and to fund his lifestyle, but money is not the point. The point is to be known as the Joker and to confound Batman.

So, though Batman, Robin and anyone who gets in his way are definitely fair game, he doesn't see the point in killing bystanders for no reason, because who will remember THEM? Plus who will remember that he's the Joker if they're dead?

whenever I feel sad, overwhelmed, stressed or plain disgusted with life I watch some unhinged British TV (especially comedy panels and shows)

No cure like that

*warning - obsession with comedy shows has been revived
