Holy Happy Days 2 by jackcrowder

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.

Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo, which their opponents often seek to exploit.  Robin is also cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman.  He is often in trouble and in need of rescue.

Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli is a fictional character in Happy Days, a television situation comedy which debuted in 1974 and ran for 11 seasons on ABC.  It focuses on the experiences and dilemmas of a normal teenager, his friends and his family in Milwaukee starting in the 1950's and ending in the 1960's.  Fonzie is a stereotypical 1950's tough guy who was frequently seen on his motorcycle, wore a leather jacket and typified the essence of cool.

In this whimsical fantasy, Robin is recruited to help the Milwaukee public schools address their delinquency problem.  Surely, the Boy Wonder is more than a match for the local punks, like Fonzie.

The two-picture series "Holy Happy Days" was commissioned from the artist jackcrowder through DeviantART in 2020.  

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".  Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli was introduced as a potential antagonist.  This is an original scene and did not appear in the television series, or any other derivative material.
