A few choice moments with Leona Stockpool at the Club Buccaneer, January/February 1940...

Early 1940 might have been the Golden Age of Day-By-Day comics. Not only was this ripe storyline unfolding, but we also had Nick Gatt in all his glory, Pat Ryan, Captain Blaze, and April Kane in the clutches of Singh-Singh and Cheery, Josephine B ungle scheming to destroy J. Hartford Oakdale, Dan Dunn vs. that guy that looked like John Barrymore, and Harold Teen considering suicid e because Lillums was going to marry a creepy middle-aged man. We shall not see its like again.

Lizzie, thank you very much.

Club Buccaneer: I'm embarrassed I forgot that name as it was so perfect to the storyline.

I believe this is the picture (created by cropping), I used whenever we needed to reference the First Lady's past.

Wow, you almost raised a tear in my eye for the good times as those were much better storylines than the ones we have now. That said, what a grind writing a daily strip must be – new idea, after new idea, after new idea, with yesterday's brilliant new idea, as the cliché goes, now wrapping fish.

Mr Cald's Jamaica course arrest for book insinuation borders First Amendment freedom of speech constitutional right; and, perhaps religion, since many track crows are devout hoss players. And there's nothing wrong with a little book on the side. I once received a scalding email advising book was illegal on federal property, even upon urban skyscraper leasehold site. I responded with United States code section and verse firmly anchored First Amendment. During the Mueller Investigation, I made a bet with a custodian afflicted TDS that a lack of valid probable cause existed, which evidenced special counsel peripatetic wander, proving cause didn't exist.
And the acting US Attorney General had cited ''unusual circumstances'' in naming special counsel, which fails legal standing. Mueller was looking for dirt because he evidently lacked probable cause. The custodian was a gold coin collector, so I suggested he cough up a sixteenth century doubloon and put some serious skin in the game. He reneged when I reminded him I had taken criminal and constitutional in law school and he was on thin ice. So, I avoided federal felony violation and slipped the cold steel knife of reason beneath his syndrome.

Mary Worth had a most appealing introduction this morning, characteristic circa comic literary standard of that day. And for Terry, a Thompson in jungle environ is superlative armament, its heavy .45 caliber slug outperformed the M16 armalite .223 Remington round for hid Viet Cong.
Terrence needs be careful, nail Slits, and throw the Hong Kong RnR at Dragon Gal. Put the thought down and let her subliminally consider it. :cool:
