    Five will get you ten that we’ll see a Flattop clone in the near future. Just a hunch.

    Of course, Sail doesn’t want your money. That’s the first thing a con man says before he goes after your money!

    (And yes, in yesterday’s comments, I am pleased to see others now referring to the one “doctor” as "the old Ghote)

    Maybe Sail/Ghote are scamming a trip to the moon for some of that legendary “moongold”?

    Morning all. Good move going to Smith Industries Sail. I’d wonder about great genetic engineering coming out of an old run down disco. Seems like more of a hideout than a lab? Remember, “Do not reveal our location.” There could be many reasons “old Ghote” and Sail want to stay hidden. (Good one cheapskate0)

    Good morning all! I’ve found little to add to the conversation – including today, but wanted to maintain my seat in the Magpie section of the Tracy bandwagon. This ride just keeps getting better!

    i ALMOST asked how diet knew sail meant mysta, then i remembered that he told him yesterday that they got the dna from the remains of tracy’s car.

    which leads me to think that tracy and diet are still “on the outs” since you woudl imagine that if they were still as tight as they were previously, diet’s FIRST call woul dhave been to tracy!

    diet smith is, in his own way, just as bad as tracy’s rogues gallery.

    wouldnt it be a kick if it was DIET SMITH behind “THE APPARATUS”?!?

    TraderJoe: Whether Mysta is real or fake (and a clone is still a fake), these were her family and friends. Whether she is real or fake, she has memories of them. I would not be distressed unless Mysta expresses a desire to do harm to them.

    Which may be yet another marker, when the time comes, for Tracy and company to figure out whether Mysta is genuine: Would she harm Sparkle?

    I’m guessing the real Mysta wouldn’t, even if Junior is now her husband. But a fake? All bets are off…

    Of course, my favorite way for Tracy and company to figure out whether Mysta is real or not is…

    (drum roll, please)

    Sawdust!

    Were the real Mysta to act out of character, who might have the power to manipulate her behavior? Sail? He may be in charge, but does he have control? I can think of only one other person who might have the power to manipulate Mysta: The Governor.

    as per dr sail’s comment of “genetic engineering” i decided to look up the EXACT DEFINITION of the phrase in relation to the comic strip… check out what i found!

    Science Dictionarygenetic engineeringThe science of altering and cloning genes to produce a new trait in an organism or to make a biological substance, such as a protein or hormone. Genetic engineering mainly involves the creation of recombinant DNA, which is then inserted into the genetic material of a cell or virus.

    so perhaps then, cloning aside (even tho it IS mentioned in the definition) and tho i am no scientist… perhaps moon maid lite is more akin to a TEST TUBE BABY than a clone? IF there was any dna, cells or whatever left after moon maid exploded like a waterballon dropped from a third story window… then perhaps sail and ghote DID in fact “grow” mysta from merely cells… and that the process hadnt been fully completed which is why she needed the bandages?

    And once again life (almost) imitates art.

    Rare ‘Superman’ Comic Found in Walls of Home

    “As he was gutting a house in Elbow Lake, Minn., David Gonzalez, 34, made a startling discovery: In among the old newspapers insulating a wall was an original Action Comics No. 1 book from June 1938. On the cover, a brand new character wore a flowing red cape and lifted a car over his head: Superman.”

    If only the Jumbler had known….

    Like the unusual effect for Sail’s eyes today, like dull marbles.

    I wish we could start seeing Mysta more often. I figured once the mask came off, the story would get rolling and we’d start getting larger and larger doses of Mysta. And the story’s definitely rolling now, but it seems like we’re back to a little bit of Mysta here, then a week or two of nothing. Hey, since Mysta’s the star of this story, shouldn’t we be seeing more of what she’s up to?

    I think Diet Smith is too smart to buy that line of BS from Dr. Sail. I think Dr. Sail knows this, too. So what is S.Tim Sail’s back-up position?
