It’s either from Mad, Cracked or Not Brand Echh. Spoof or Parody books were big in the 60s and 70s and Batman was often turned into a goofy bell eared whacko.
This was recently in the New Yorker, as a social commentary regarding the archaic practices of the traditional comic book Industry. Of note, is the devilish appearance of the Faustian contract negotiator; clearly alluding to the restrictive contracts of the publishing companies. The issue of violence between two of the companies most popular characters; gives the impression of one publisher being called more violent than the other. In reality, the title is usually given to the most shocking recent comic. However, it’s primarily an internal issue, that clever marketing convinces people who know nothing about the industry, to purchase one way or the other. The names and appearances of characters have been altered slightly, to protect the guilty. /s
