Judge Parker – Notice the trooper standing in a tree and also the path of destruction in the branches of the tress.Rex Morgan – Okay, that point is established. Let’s move on.Phantom – So, these ignorant superstitious monks think that a centuries old hero periodically changes into a 15 year old boy and has to return every few centuries for retraining. Are they stupid, or what?Sam and Silo – I got a chuckle out of this one today.
PHANTOM: Young Kit’s thought bubble in panel 2 says it all. The monks know exactly what is going on, but from the get-go Kit is put in the position of living up to being a mysterious Bold Warrior and Champion for Good. Living up to being a Phantom is a much stronger psychological position than trying to become a Phantom. JUDGE PARKER: With the obvious path of destruction, what took them so long?MANDRAKE: Narda wonders about the English-speaking “Old Salt.” I wonder too. I am really enjoying this flashback to Narda’s Raft People story. MARY WORTH: Tommy is leaving out the part being in a job that he didn’t really like and then getting dumped by his on-the-job girlfriend. He felt overwhelmed by a distressing situation (and took the easy way out). IMHO.
GHOSTWRITERS IN THE SKY (Crankshaft): We’re back at the bookstore and Lillian uses wordplay on her shelf sign (It took me a minute or two to get it.) FOXTROT ESP: Unless he gets his Horoscopes into the papers, how is he going to get his grassroots campaign going? I there a Catch-22 here, or is there something I don’t get?
Mary Worth Florchi, that’s what addicts do. Even if they have kicked their habit, when stress hits they very often revert to old habits of taking the easy way out.Foxtrot Esp Considering how smart Jason is supposed to be, he can be pretty dumb. He’s still just a little boy who doesn’t understand how the world works.Crankshaft My husband recently played for me all of the versions we have of “Ghost Riders”, so the pun jumped off the page for me. We have Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dean Martin, Johnny Cash, Sons of the Pioneers (Roy Rogers backup group) and Hank Williams.
