The Era -- Day By Day

And in the Daily News...

The war must be almost over if we have phony Barons now...

"Oh, Leopold -- next time maybe less allegro and more fortissimo?"

I bet Gould really wanted to call him "Pimples," but the editor made him stop.

And speaking of editors what do you bet Gus got called in and told "enough with the gruesome."

$96 a day once a month! Beats working for Wumple at $11 a week!

Collar and tie? Sport coat? POCKETS? What do you suppose Mr. Gray is trying to imply here?

Poker al fresco? Don't you know dice are easier to hide when the cops show up?

It's a wonder anybody in this house is still alive.

Wait'll you see the ones he has hidden in his sock drawer.

A 6X little fool? LOOK WHO'S TALKING!

It's a comicstrip, but still, her character made one of the fastest transitions ever from devoting her life to her brother to seeing him for exactly who he is.

I had a similar thought – it's nostalgic in a way. All we need is a bank robbery in broad daylight with cops indiscriminately firing at the robbers and hitting a few innocent bystanders, and maybe a jewelry heist from the wall safe of a rich person's home on Long Island and then we'll know the war is really all but over. Oh, oh, and a payroll heist on a Friday from some idiotic company that sent its 112-pound secretary to pick up the company's entire bi-weekly payroll from the bank.

They keep using the $4,500,000 figure to describe Ms. Vanderbilt's wealth, but if she just paid out $200,000 to get out of her last marriage, shouldn't it be $4,300,000?

Terry? Hu Shee? Johnny Jingo?

Johnny distracted me with his flashy sideburns...

How much funnier would this be if "make love to" meant then what it means now. "Sure, I'll watch you bang the hell out of Hu Shee."
