On February 13, 1908, William Dozier, executive producer and narrator of the "Batman" TV series, was born.
I've been looking for a picture of him where he's tilted at about a ten-degree angle. No luck so far.
https://onlinetools.com/image/rotate-image lets me choose the angle, but I still need some place to store the picture. Anyone?
