Good morning all!

Good morning fellow DT fans

Sparkplug? Wasn’t that the name of Barney Google’s horse?

It certainly is taking a while for this story to get going….but if the past is any indication, it’ll get ramped up at lightning speed soon….

Hey, if they can get the coupe back by Halloween, they’ll have 3 ready-to-go skeletons!

…..I like this strips policy of letting the best looking guy post first!

Kolossal makes a really bizarre silhouette.

Watch it Mysta….Sparkplug’s hitting on you!

Everything’s all sweet and innocent with Mysta, but it looks like Kolossal is up to no good.

Mysta’s gonna be a Cowgirl…

I see two problems developing:Mysta has never ridden a horse. That could be problematic to start with, no matter how sweet Sparkplug is.There’s a deadline by which they have to be done with the horse. Rushing is not a good idea.

Am I the only one who sees the potential impending complication of Mysta falling in love with the horse and not wanting to let him be taken away from her?

Sparkplug is going to get Kolossal in trouble. Maybe there’s going to be an accident and Mr. Angus will want his scalp?

Kolossal is in the shadows, and methinks that is a hint of dark motives.

If old Sparkplug comes up lame there’ll be trouble.

Racehorses are notoriously moody and have been known to draw blood with bites and hooves. This may not be a good thing to have Sparky on the set

Wow, Sparkplug’s looking good considering its usual appearance in the Barney Google strip.

Hopefully Sparkplug isn’t going to get an accidental "SparkleZap"© from a certain moon Maid still learning to master her new powers. It might leave them both with goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.

Kolossal is going to enter that horse in a race!

Good, maybe by rushing thru production, sparkplug will get spooked and chuck frankenmindy across the set and send her to the E.R. where.. due to her mutated genetics, nobody (except sail or ghote) can perform the life saving surgery necessary and we can write off that “bad experiment” from the strip.

either that or, since the horse’sname IS sparkplug, frankenmindy will have a moment where she loses control and electrocutes the horse

Just wondering, was Mysta’s current look based off of this?: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/square_medium/1/10135/247569-118544-skywise.jpg

Sparkplug and WellHungHippie might have something in common. Just thinkin’ out loud.

Sparkplug doesn’t look like Sparkplug, and Where’s Barney Google?

Actually, Angus cancelled Kolossal’s debt, but if he enters Sparkplug in a race, he’d better make sure it’s not a claimed, ha ha.

ClaimeR …hate this stupid spell correct at times lol

My problem with Kolassal is that he’s throwing around a lot of guilt by association. Scott would look particularly bad if he continues to work for Kolossal and knows that he’s a crook..While I would consider Vera rather immune to Kolossal’s guilt at this moment, nevertheless, we are aware of what he tried to do Sunday..As for me, I was ready for more Dietrich today. Yes, yes, I know, Richard was putting on his hat yesterday, signaling the end of that conversation..Just hoping that was a premature ending.

I would have to agree that, “Something Wicked Happens This Way”. Too Bad, so sad.

I’m am blinded by the blue eyes of Mysta in that first panel! She looks great in that outfit. Now, she should be on the lookout for Mr. Collosal. The third panel looks like he’s trouble!

LOL! Very likely true!

Sparkplug the second.
