I wish Mike would tell a story set in the current century that does not involve obscure comics of yesteryear. Old geezers who pine for old comics make my interest in the strip wane sorry
I’m surprised that Vitamin can actually crouch down like that at his age, the arthritic old goat… those nocturnal boudoir sessions with Kandi must be improving his physicalities… LMAO…
So, so far in this story we’ve basically seen Robert ask his uncle to call in a favor with Patterson Playhouse to audition for a role in a new production, & Sam asking Tracy to call in a favor with Vitamin Flintheart to see rehearsals of that production. Either Mike is setting up some kind of dramatic meeting, or else he’s run out of ideas. Let’s see.
Perfect timing Sam…you got to the theater after the auditions. But in plenty of time for rehearsals. I suppose Vitamin has come a long way from Shakespeare “To be or not to be that is the question”.
Careful,Sam.The last time you were backstage at a theatre Gruesome locked you in a trunk.
Speaking of showbiz,anybody remember the Yollman story from 1942(right after BB Eyes)??
Tracy got involved in a romantic triangle between 3 famous actors.In the end,everybody forgave everybody else and it was probably the only Tracy story where he made no arrests!!
The storyline grinds on, with Sam and amenable Vitamin exploring the arcana of theatre fans. But Sam is in for the rehearsal, and per Vitamin will have a meet-and-greet with Robert Parrish/“Derby Dugan”; I suppose that is a Good Thing.

Good morning™, everyone!
You bet he’d like to meet the actor. This is better than opening night. He’s an audience of one.

Yes.
Yes, Sam would. ✨

Good morning™, hero worshipers (fanboys) !
Sam humbles before the Master. Vitamin shows gratitude for all the scrapes MCU has gotten him out of.

Sam is a much of a fanboy as Robert is… maybe he’ll weasel a selfie and an autograph onto his playbill…

Fun Fact: It’s now been four months since we’ve seen the old man in the garage with legal documents that may be important to Tracy some day.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the recent stories are bad, just predictable and pedestrian!

Why do I get the feeling that Robert is the crim?

Considering Vitamin always calls Tracy “Richard”, I’m surprised he doesnt call Sam “Samuel.”

Sooooo…. We have a new (supposedly) bad guy: Steelface… But no new crime/bad stuff? When do we get to find out what Steelface is up to?

Since Vitamin is so formal with Tracy, calling him Richard (instead of Tracy, or, even Dick,) wouldn’t he address Sam as Samuel?

1-SUGAR DADDY:* Hello? Why no – This is NOT the _You Stab ‘Em, We Slab ‘Em funeral home. What? No, Mike Hunt is not here. Good day!
2-…Hello Sam! Having you here will be just like Opening Night in that the play will still stink and we’ll have one audience member!
3-SAM:* I’m not staying. I just wanted to suggest a Burlesque Show featuring your gold digger wife.
SUGAR: A wonderful suggestion! That is, if she can get leave at the Bare ‘Em Harem Gentlesman’s Club.
SAM: Really? Never mind. That’s at 34th and Main, right?
