    Good morning™, Angry Detectives !

    P.1. has Tracy looking a little on the hot side of stern. Those two men are some real dandies. LOL !

    Once again; the detail on these is real nice. How lucky are we that we have two ladies who are crack shots with a brush ? :-)

    Hmmmm…. the Comics Curmudgeon, commenting on the Sunday strip, referred to “Popski” as Sam’s father, getting the idea apparently from Sam’s affectionate use of the term while addressing the deli owner. But what if the Comics Curmudgeon. is right? What if “Popski” really is Sam’s father. Does this explain Sam’s fixation with diners & sandwiches & eating? & what if many of us find these questions more interesting than this story?

    Good morning™, all!

    I fell asleep earlier, but looking at today’s strip, I don’t really know what’s going on. Hopefully, it will be clearer tomorrow.

    So, has the Baxter the alibi magician gone off the rails and this is a completely new storyline?

    Obviously borgia (any relation to LUCRETIA by chance?) is the one at the schnoz on that mensch!

    We need some introduction to the victim. If there was a victim.

    So far, what we have for sure, is that a guy was having some sort of seizure at a diner. Sam tried to poison him with a vile concoction of mustard and milk, but the EMTs arrived in time to save the man’s life.

    “He was poisoned, I tell you!” Sam shouted, “I know he was being poisoned!”

    Without hearing the medical report Tracy has believed Sam – I mean, has Sam ever been wrong?

    And the diner owner, who relies on Sam’s business to make a profit throws this lovely couple under the bus, “It must have been one of these boychiks! I don’t like their kind coming around here!”

    Rodrigo de Borja became Pope Alexander VI. He was one of the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, partly because he acknowledged fathering several children by his mistresses. As a result, his Italianized Valencian surname, Borgia, became a byword for libertinism and nepotism, which are traditionally considered as characterizing his pontificate.

    It was mentioned yesterday that William Palmer was an infamous poisoner.

    First Fata Morgana, and now William Palmer, both with single-eye pieces in such a short time. Must be all the rage in the Tracyverse.

    Their triumph was the sieve with no holes. Not a huge seller, as it was essentially a $200 POT.

    Ahhhh quapadoodle! I re-broke my toe yesterday. There ought to be law against corners in houses.

    Then again, I’m kind of rocking that uber sexy Festus vibe. I just hope Terri can tolerate a little wholesale adoration on the part of the female populace!

    Rodrigo Borgia was Pope Alexander VI, of the famous Templars, who tried to poison his son and ended up poisoned himself.

    And Dr. William Palmer who poisoned family members for the insurance money. Executed by hanging.

    So we have a little name dropping here. At least they don’t look like their real life namesakes.

    A Borgia getting poisoned? Well, turnabout’s fair play.

    I’m mildly amused that a Mr. Borgia is involved in a suspected poisoning case

    I just have to say it again, I’m totally loving the art work here. Especially Borgia and Palmer – very trendy threads: although I question Palmers’ white suit before Labor day? But they both look nice, which is a rare thing with perps on DT I’m finding. Of course others who have a longer history with DT might know differently…

    OK, a day without grinding Yiddish. I wonder if the feeling the last two strips gave me is similar to how an African American felt listening to Amos ‘N’ Andy. Besides, I just realized he’s the wrong stock character. Why is he all “My Yiddishe Momme” when the waiter is an accepted part of the American-Jewish comedy tradition? “Perhaps peculiar to the American scene alone is the old-time Jewish restaurant waiter. You never see him flatter or kowtow to his customers. He is proud of his independence and, because of the jealousy with which he guards it, he frequently acts with defensive gruffness. To a genial, submissive customer he acts like a protector, a patron, even like a father — advising, warning, lecturing and scolding. He tells him what’s good and what’s bad for his health, what to choose on the menu and what to avoid like the plague. But woe to the arrogant high-and-mighty customer! He not only browbeats him but shrivels him with scorn. And if he provokes him too much he tells him straight up and down to go to another restaurant — or to the devil! In fact, a customer rash enough to offend a Jewish waiter is liable to remember the encounter with lingering indigestion, and that not so much from the food he ate, but from the near apoplexy brought on by the excitement of the collision…” (Nathan Ausubel, A Treasury of Jewish Folklore abridged edition 1980 page 273-4)

    Rather a clumsy shift to a Minit Mystery. Sunday, Fata and Rikki are on the road. Monday, Sam is having lunch in a diner. Not a mumbling word from Mike this was coming. I am going to take a leave of absence until this strip gets back on track.

    Hopefully Borgia and Palmer have actually been seen together, unlike Fata Morgana and Baxter :P
