   Maybe it’s the mouse that’s causing my computer doesn’t work.

   That was just a bit before my time, but I do remember seeing film clips of Annette back then.

   Who knew mice liked watching the Disney channel.

   MurphyHerself
   Sure, and it will be taken just as seriously as the Mars 3.5 adventure.

   I guess if you are old enough to remember, you are probably too old to remember anything :-)

    I knew them both… Annette and Brittiney. Only Disney (when he was alive) did allow her to be in all those campy beach movies, but forbid her to show her navel. With Brittiney Spears however, Disney (the company) could care less about what she did, especially that kiss she did with Madonna.

    I wonder if that TV is a iPhone with a TV viewer app. Don’t know where else they’d find a screen that small!

    (Hey Lucy, you’d better go get the magnifying glass…)

    Rodents chewing through cables. After a 40-year career in telecom, I have two funny stories about that. One is almost – ALMOST – as funny as Wiley’s. But NOTHING is really as funny as Wiley’s.

    The really funny one involved repeated failures (every 2-3 weeks) of a lab test model due to mice chewing through the wires. These failures were alternated with cable repairs AND visits by the exterminator – obviously ineffective. In the meantime… There was a stray cat that hung out in the parking lot begging for scraps. As winter approached, the cat looked more and more straggly. Eventually one of our techs took pity, smuggled it into the building and fed it. Pets were not allowed in the building, so we hid it in the lab (where the test model was), because that room stayed locked and even building security didn’t go in there. Once we had the lab cat, no more test model failures. I wonder why.

    Great strip Wiley. I love panel three with the look of disbelief and amazement on Danae’s face.

    I watched the Annette - Frankie movies for the other girls that actually wore bikinis.

    Is it just me, or are comic strip mice getting smarter?

    I remember when Annette was given a part in Zorro as a birthday gift from Walt Disney. It was a two-part story arc where she was a young lady who had been raised in boarding schools in Spain and came to California to find her father. He turned out to be a peasant who had managed to send all of his money to Spain for her, but who was penniless and, in his own eyes, a disgrace to her. But then, of course, this was a Disney production and everything ended happily.
    I used to swoon and sigh over Guy Williams as Zorro. So dashing and handsome…..

    Ronshua, oh, yes, I remember Darla. First love of many a baby boomer. And yes, Mouseketeer Annette had really nice (and large!) um, ears…

    in Monday’s last panel, Dad should have got the last word with “sigh, whatever”, then you’d have “whatever” in every panel. and how did you know that “whatever” is currently the most annoying word when it was just announced this week? Wiley is clearvoyant!

    MatureCanadian said, about 1 month ago

    Do you guys mean Darla from The Little Rascals? I watched Mickey Mouse Club for the Hardy Boys adventures.

    Those mice look like the ones from the cartoon where they were always so polite “after you, Clive?”….can’t remember their names I’m afraid. I expect Danae to figure out a way to share with the little blighters.

    JanCinVV - I couldn’t agree more. At the same time we had Edd Byrnes as Kookie. Lend me your comb, anytime.

    I’m sure the nice mice would be happy to let you watch TV with them. Just bring the Cheez-Its and try make yourselves comfortable.

    @dtut, I had a similar experience, only with cockroaches in a place I was staying in DC. The kitchen was lousy with cockroaches, and no exterminator could get rid of them. They got a feisty kitten, and in a week the kitchen was roach free.

    Of course, if the Health Department knew about the cat in the kitchen, they’d have had kittens! But–I’d still rather wash down the counters in the morning than put up with the roaches.

    They are not mice, they are pan-dimensional beings.

    When an actor became an employee of Walt Disney, it was like he owned them for the rest of their lives.

    Dean Jones made many Disney movies. I read in Jones’ autobiography where Mr. Disney told him to straighten out his private life because it made him (Disney) look bad.

    My older brother named his daughter, “Annette.” We watched “The Mickey Mouse Club” when we were of Jr-Sr. High school ages. He even said that he named her after the actress.

    Satellite TV service and cable TV service are two different kinds of TV services.

    But, coaxial cables still have to be used to connect the TV to the satellite dish or the cable TV connection in the wall of the house.

    Cable TV services also used satellite dishes to pick up signals.

    cleo: Yeah, like “How To Stuff A Wild Bikini”, lol. We really, actually, seriously went to see those movies, didn’t we?

    Disney was a bit of a closet dirty old man, and a savvy marketer. He once let slip in an interview that the original MMC show included a couple of well-endowed young ladies, so the Dads that got home from work early wouldn’t make the kids change the channel.

    farfle 1954 - I loved Spin & Marty and had forgotten them until you brought them up. Thank you for the memory.

    Squirrels have also been known to do a number on the pole cable (of a client; we have fiber-to-the-curb, not the right flavor).

    Left him just enough to get sorta connected, but not enough to do anything useful, until a savvy senior cable tech figured it out. Now he has a watch out for those rascals.

    It’s hard to watch anything from outside the mouse hole though.

    So I ain’t no “bar boy” who wanted to watch Spin & Marty!
