REX MORGAN: Whenever I’m given meds when I’m in the hospital, the nurses urge me to drink all the water, not just enough to swallow my meds. Water is good for the kidneys.
MARY WORTH: Will Jim think that because he has an arm Dawn will change her mind about having a romance?
APT3G: Greg won’t get to the bottom of this problem if he’s only thinking about himself and Margo.
MARY WORTH: With his new prosthetic, Jim now has two arms, but Dawn doesn’t even seem to notice. What surprises her is that Jim is on the pier. Her spontaneous reaction seems to make it clear that the arm (or lack thereof) was never important to her. As I recall, it was right after they had seen the classic film, “Casablanca,” that Dawn and Jim had their falling out. CASABLANCA: Ilsa: I can’t fight it anymore. I ran away from you once. I can’t do it again. Oh, I don’t know what’s right any longer. You have to think for both of us. For all of us.Rick: All right, I will. Here’s looking at you, kid.Ilsa: [smiles] I wish I didn’t love you so much.
Mark Trail – Why would Otto go to so much trouble? If he wanted to bump Mark off, why didn’t he just shoot him?Snuffy Smith – Barney Google (the character) is actually making an appearance in the strip!
Mark Trail – He wants it to look like an accident. I’m glad Mark is aware of the danger.A3G – Who’s the picture on the night stand? Is she special? I’m disappointed that the conversation with Ari didn’t go further.JP – I’m wondering if there’s some darker reason they want to elope. Just trying to work some mystery and drama into this part of the story.
Marvee: from yesterday. The figures in silhouette are the characters Ted was describing from “Mystery Science Theater 3000”. They would show some really bad old movies, usually horror or sci-fi (think “Plan 9 from Outer Space”) and sit in front of the screen in silhouette making silly comments about it. It was actually a pretty funny show and I saw a lot of really old, really dumb movies that way.
Rex: I would think that sometimes the depression is just as bad as the cancer. Mandrake: I’ve been reading the “classic” Mandrake from 1940 and Mandrake is sinking in a pit of wet cement while the man who hates him is standing nearby gloating. I think these old ones are better than the current stories both in artwork and story lines.
@JanCinLV, Thanks for the info on Mystery Science Theater.About Mandrake, where do you get the classics? Comicskingdom has been posting the exact same Sunday strip for about 6 weeks. Mandrake is on a boat whose only passage is between 2 large rocks which regularly move together, crushing any boat that tries to go through.
