Maybe they’re going to lure them there one by one before the next one arrives. This is Murder Mansion.
Have we ever seen this “Shortcake” Mitchell guy before? I don’t remember him. There seems to be a reference to Superman battling a gangster by this name on this page. I know that Mike Curtis is a big Superman fan.
The references are becoming more obscure. There was Sputnik Monroe and Wildwood Cemetery, home of the Spirit. Now Bill “Shortcake” Mitchell from the Crime Wave episode of Adventures of Superman. Great stuff.
The Murder Mansion will live (if that’s a fitting word) up to its reputation under the management of Abner and Rikki, taking down the Apparatus one by one at the behest of the Black Hearts. Bill “Shortcake” Mitchell [IMO, not the homonymous early ’50s Superman gangster] will be Bill “Shortcareer” Mitchell—here today, gone tomorrow….
One less apparatus member down! I wonder if Dagwood joined Tracy and Popeye on the fishing trip and if Blondie joined Tess and Olive Oyl for tea and girl talk? : )
We are going into the origins now. Let’s be little kids watching cartoons. Who is Dick Tracy? What was he like as a little kid? Why are we all so intrigued by this drama? Happy Halloween fans….
Your illustration with the skeletal bones was what finally reminded me . . . Your posts every day,- - just like my puppy - scratching the hard concrete day after day - - to FIND something. ?And can’t even raise a bone ! ?

I wonder if that chair flips back and dumps that person in the cellar or dungeon, or if it spins around behind the wall?

I’d love to see the floor plan for that house. I’m sure it holds many secrets…

Ah, Shortcake, we hardly knew ya. Kadaver should let Rikki off him herself after that abrupt brush-off. Harrumph!

You just beat me to it, M. Mitchell Marmel! Neil Wick’s Superman reference put me on the Mxyzptlk track, too!

While Tracy and his family are vacationing with Popeye and company, these people seem to trespassing in the Addams’ mansion

Rikki’s face tattoo disappeared. Or perhaps she covered it with makeup. :)

Slow day ?
Difficult to break the 200 post barrier in a day, now that frequency man MPH has retired.
As you may recall, he occasionally contributed * – 50 +* in some sessions !
