  1. Do you think that was his real birthname? If so, it's no wonder he turned to a life of crime... to spite his cruel parents! I know it's not the point of this fascinating series of "supporting villains", but how recent was the later image of Gaggy? Is he still around in Gotham?

  2. The name puns in the golden age were excessive. The most recent thing I read with him in it was Three Jokers. He gets distracted and Red Hood shoots an aquarium which causes a Jokerized shark to eat him. I'm not sure it's considered main continuity. Before that he was in Gotham City Sirens back in 2009. He was trying to kill Harley for taking his job. In the end he met Baby Doll and it was implied they would date.

    1. Shows how observant I can be: I read Three Jokers and have no recollection of seeing Gaggy.
