PHANTOM: Gasp! (P. crashes the drug cartel party)REX MORGAN: Milton may push the envelope until he finds himself in an ambulance.JUDGE PARKER: Isn’t April a CIA agent or something? I am beginning to wonder if these two story lines may eventually connect, i.e. if Thalia’s “water purification” company is a front for something that may require CIA-type intervention. (or maybe I’m just getting bored with the story, and going out on a limb in my own mind…)MARY WORTH: I liked the Charles Lamb quote in panel 1 of yesterday’s strip. As to today’s strip, I hope Beth dialed and pressed the Send button before she hung up…and I hope Tom’s phone has caller I.D.MARK TRAIL: Every since we wrapped up the Rod Bassy story, the artwork has looked different to me, but I can’t quite put my finger on how it’s different. However, in reading Jack Elrod’s bio at jsonline, he celebrated his 89th birthday on March 29 (b. 1924). According to a wikipedia writeup: In 2010, after years of tutoring, Jack Elrod brought on the assistance of noted artist James Allen. James initially began assisting on the weekly Sunday page… Perhaps Elrod is taking a well-deserved rest and Allen is drawing the weekday strip…?
