    SALLY FORTH: I’m not sure what kind of drink a Zima is, but I’ll bet it a fruity drink with very little alcohol with a little umbrella sticking in it as well as a cherry. That would get anyone kicked out of a bar in no-time flat.

    REX MORGAN: I think today’s converstion is a repeat of yesterday’s.

    APT3G:Good that Cole got rid of his addiction, now what is his big problem.

    MARY WORTH: ooooooooooooooooooooooh

    Rex Morgan – Milton should have just come to this site. We diagnosed it several days ago.Judge Parker- There’s an app for that?A3G – I can understand that it’s sometimes hard to talk about difficult subjects and make eye contact, but an entire conversation with your back to the person you’re talking to? Seems unnatural.Mary Worth – The desert might remind you that you’re thirsty.Mandrake – What time period are we in now? It almost looks like the cruise ship from the Sunday Phantom strip.

    Rex Morgan – @Marvee – Good one!Phantom – Another long forgotten clue.Judge Parker – He doesn’t need to learn any new program. All he has to do is create the correct template and save it. Sheesh!Mandrake – I had the same question that Marvee had. Nowhere in this arc were we told that Mandrake was telling this story aboard a cruise ship.

    Mandrake On July 8, when the interruption of the HoJo story began, Lothar and his girlfriend Karma were shown on a balcony overlooking greenery. Perhaps this is some kind of deck or balcony at Xanadu.Sally Forth Arye, “Zima” was a bottled, carbonated, clear alcoholic beverage that used to be marketed as an alternative to beer. It hasn’t been available here in the States since 2008. I had one once, and it was disgusting. Given Ted’s penchant for nostalgia, Zima would be the perfect drink for him.

    REX MORGAN: Now I am curious as to what he was taking? I’d be inclined to try ginkgo biloba (per WebMD).PHANTOM: Apparently devil sensed the WWI aeronaut was not of this world (a ghost). I wonder if there will be another appearance by Lee Falk (who lives in the same apartment building as pilot Ted West).

    Mandrake – Thanks Jan for sending me back to July 8. They seem to just be introducing the characters. Lothar and Karma are on a balcony wearing togas, but Mandrake isn’t there. Throughout the telling about his youth, people are wearing classical garb. When Mandrake leaves the College of Magic, he’s dressed like a British explorer. Today they are dressed in modern clothes, sitting in deck chairs. That does look like Karma that he’s talking to.A commenter at the other site reported that Fred Fredericks has announced his retirement in July and that the strip would go into reruns in September. So I’m wondering if they will ever finish the story about Hojo and the people that are stealing personalities.Where are all the young cartoonists? Staton and Curtis (Dick Tracy) can’t save every strip.

    Mary Worth: If I remember correctly, this is Mary’ first day at the spa and look what she has accomplished. She has solved her first case. Do this mean that her stay here is over or is she going to help more people there? She really is a fast worker.Mark Trail: This is a different cooler than the one in Stalag 17. I wonder what plan of escape Mark has formulated while cooling his heels (and body).Phantom: They are finally getting around to Devil’s reaction a month, LOL. ago. To bad he can’t talk. Can’t Guran mix up a potion that will make Devil talk?Rex Morgan: What kind of funny weed have you been taking Milton?
