The wife of Democratic National Commitee chairman Edward J. Flynn will testify tomorrow before the Bronx Grand Jury investigating allegations that her husband illegally used a city work crew, and city paving blocks, to create a Belgian courtyard at his Long Island estate. Mrs. Flynn is to be questioned about early plans for the paving job, and about her conversations with Bronx officials about the project. Also on the stand will be Mrs. Wilhemina Haas of Tuckhaoe, the landscape architect who designed the courtyard.
...
It's a pretty good bet Ms. Flynn is huddling with a phalanx of high-price defense attorneys today.

(Hey, it's our old pal the Whimsical Chef from Childs! Keep 'em flyin'!)

I'm not quite sure what iced dinner rolls or orange coconut rings are, but since our Whimsical Chef is involved, I'd give both a shot.

("Diddey suppena ya brutta?" wonders Joe. "I mean, I 'magine he'd know a lotta 'bout..." "He don'know nut'n," snaps Sally. "'Bout nut'n. B'sides, he join't t' Army. Doin' his patriotic duty." "Judge made'im enlist, huh?" "It was jus' a SUGGESTION."...
Something is off in the way Amen is approaching this huge story. He's uncovered a massive corruption scandal in the police department and he's almost asking the police to handle it through internal discipline. Shouldn't he be going for criminal convictions? Also, if the take (it's not clear, but implied) is one-hundred millions dollars a year, then they mob is buying off the police for peanuts - 1% of the take.

("A PIVOTAL figgeh!" beams Sally. "He awrways WAS goodatttem double plays!" "'Morice Van Robays," shrugs Joe. "Who names a kid Morice Van Robays?" "'At's a typological erreh," declares Sally. "It's 'Maurice." Very dignified name." "Howcum you know so much 'bout t'eh Pittsboigs?" frowns Joe. "You ain' gett'n all funny again a' nut'n -- is ya?" "You'll see," Sally smiles inscrutably. "You'll see.")

Oh no, they got their hands full with one.

(CALLED IT, sort of.)

And the judges say........Yes, you got it.

(Well, that's that! Wonder what new strip we'll see here tomorrow?)
...
Eh, might as well go with "Smilin' Jack." It's not great, but there are plenty of scantily clad women. And, heck, it's better than the "Gordo" strip, at least for the short time we read it.
...
Maybe you should have tried a little mustard.

There's got to be something more to the Schwartz marriage story. I'm guessing he's gay, but who knows - something is going on there.
Lizzie, good thing you posted early today as the site seemed to go down just a bit after you got the Daily News up. It's a shame that its gone down a couple of times in the past few days as the recent upgrade, until now, had seem to make the site more stable.
