   Wonder if she’s a scion of the Krupp family?

   We know where Brenda gets hers, from being an editor/reporter–which doesn’t pay much. Basil was getting it from digging up artifacts–that didn’t belong to him–and selling them to the highest bidder like Price.

   Basil’s in a spot though because it’s expensive to travel to find and refine the elusive, rare black orchid.

   Aurora must be a DuPont

   Just like in the soaps. Unemployed people seem to have a lot of money. They come to town broke and jobless but some how have it. How would they all make it in the real world?

   It seems to me that I recognize Aurora from a past episode, but I cannot remember who she is.

   A reason I like Brenda Starr is that the villians usually seem reasonably ordinary. You might know they are bad pretty quickly but they are not freaks.

   Basil, is that a pint of lager I see in your hand? With a foamy head? In a mug with a handle? Haven’t you heard? The Germans lost the war.
   Really, given his personality, I’d expect him to be drinking something flat and opaque, from a hand-pulled tap. (Or a double scotch.)
   “Ye Old Sod” is kind of cute, even if only a self-consciously twee yuppie establishment would ever have such a name.

   Indeed, Basil, war is expensive.

   “Aurora was much more receptive to my charms than Oliver Warbucks and Tony Stark. Thank goodness the glass ceiling has been shattered in the industrialized death sector!”

    How Basil has recently been “making a living” has been explained. I don’t know what he has been doing before he was in Kazookistan. If it seems that Brenda is not making a living, it is because of the time ratio problem. We have been following Brenda and Sage on this adventure since May. But, in the story line, Brenda has been away from her job for only a few weeks.

    Just as in a T.V. program, we can assume the characters in a serial comic strip eat, shower, and do other things that are not shown. We viewers want to see material that advances the story. So, whatever Brenda, Basil, and Sage talked about last time they had breakfast simply wasn’t important to the viewers. Adding too many details will make the story drag on. With too many details, this story could last years, instead of months.

    On the other hand, when Brenda and Basil started out looking for Sage, and went on to the City of Secrets, it didn’t look like they had two to three day’s worth provisions for themselves and their horses. Furthermore, when we were given time cues, the cues were inconsistent.

    I think the Nanny is just a Nanny or a “baby sitter”. Sage has shown that he trusts people, even the wrong people, so it is better that he not be left alone while Brenda and Basil go out for the evening.

    Aurora made a killing in killing?

    Brenda is a babe, but she’s no Blondie Bumstead. Or even an Aunt Fritzie.

    marktrail:

    Brenda Starr is a newspaper editor. She started this adventure after her boss returned from a vacation. He had a picture of a stranger who repaired his stalled motorcycle in Kazookistan’s desert. When Brenda saw the photo, she recognized the stranger was Basil. When Sage learned of this, he became determined to go and find his dad. Brenda took a leave of absence to help Sage find Basil.

    To Antiquated Tory: The pub name is not twee and yuppies would not want it on a pub. Look up what ‘sod’ means in British English.
