Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.  Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.

This picture was inspired by the episode "Rats Like Cheese", featuring the villain Victor Fries, PhD, also known as Mr. Freeze.  After Batman agreed to surrender himself in exchange for the safe return of a hostage, Robin followed him to a secret lair but was captured.  Mr. Freeze then invites Batman and Robin to dine with him on roast beef and baked Alaska.  

In this picture, Victor Fries, PhD, invited Korak and Robin to dinner.  However, when they arrived, he was thinking about punishing the boys for wearing such inappropriate attire.  His self-control prevailed until Robin began addressing him as Mr. Freeze.  After all, he did not spend all that time pursuing an advanced degree just to be called "mister".

The picture "Korak and Robin 3 by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.  However, this is my second blog because I did not post the picture "Korak and Robin 2 by st00pz".

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  Robin is a potential friend and rival.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
