First issue:
His popularity having grown due to Super Friends and the Batman TV show, the Penguin starred in two of his own Hostess advertisements. Once again, the GCPD proves that Batman is not always needed for every crime.
"The Cuckoo Cuckoos" Policemen
Attempting to rob everyone using flying cuckoo clocks piloted by birds, the Penguin's scheme seemed destined to succeed. Instead, the local police distracted the birds with Hostess Fruit Pies, then carted the Penguin off to jail.
"Penguins on Parade" Police
Seeking to distract the crowd with his marching army of emperor penguin automatons, the Penguin flew up to collect the Emperor's Sword. Spying Hostess Fruit Pies in a nearby window, the GCPD were able to grab hold of the villain's legs and bring him down to earth.
