Just an old but perfectly valid expression meaning “I’ll buy.” But it does remind me of an incident a few years ago, when my 20-something son came across an old Batman comic title panel for a story called “The Joker’s Boner”, and I had to explain the innocent meaning of that to him.

You don’t usually see the 4th dimension so vividly in the comics. I like the highly compressed panel 4.
