Bat Boy

I remember also Weekly World News mentioned in Sorry, Married an Axe Murderer, which I love that movie.

You know, like Daniel Corsetto at one time was drawing the Bat Boy.

Like completely absurd stuff.

We're talking Bat Boy found in cave.

Oh my gosh, Bat Boy.

Right?

I remember seeing that face on the cover.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Isn't that happening? We didn't.
