Does the Penguin smoke?


I just noticed he's always got that cigarette sticking out of his mouth? Does he ever puff away?

Also, I'm watching that "I've Got Batman In My Basement Episode". Why does that kid have a Joker poster in his room. That's kinda weird.

Some kids have Freddy Kruger on their wall.

Can't stop the signal.

Yeah, but Freddy Kruger is a fictional character. The Joker is fictional to us, but he's real to that kid. It's not like the kid having a Freddy Kruger poster. It's like having a Charles Manson poster.

Some people have those too. Teenagers wear Che Guevara on their shirts.

Those are just angsty teenagers thinking they're being political. And this kid admires the hell out of Batman. He seems like a nice boy. Why would a Batfinatic have a poster of one of the most terrifying criminals in Gotham? And that's beside the point. Does the Penguin smoke in a kids show? That's what I wanna know.

Because he's still just a kid.

Just rewatch the Penguin episodes.

In today's world a natural blonde is as rare as a redhead.

What I'm referring to is does he actually produce smoke from that cigarette, or would standards and practice not allow that?

I rewatch the episodes all the time and have never seen actual smoke production. I think he just holds it in his mouth, akin to someone holding a stalk of wheat in their mouth, or someone who chews gum or chewing tobacco. That help? :)

No standards and practices did *not* allow that.

Exactly.
