An INTERESTING new character!

.Good morning guys!

Good Morning , VBR&C,Glad you’re in good spirits!

Bribery is now back to Mr. Bribery, does that mean no more Mr. Bigg? He probably did not want to be called Mr Small after the fall of the Blackhearts. :)

And while you’re at it, can you make the sun turn off and on at my whim?

“Give my creation … life~!!”

This Ygor Glitch bears a striking resemblance to the late Jack Elam, one of my favorite character actors.

Morning all!So now we see the Mr. Bribery is starting another brilliant (and over the top) idea.He never thinks small, does he?

Something occurred to me about Specs and Spicy: I expect the Apparatus will be in Cuba waiting for them. Specs and Spicy may be taking a boat to Cuba, but can’t the Apparatus just fly to Toronto, and catch a flight to Havana?

I know some readers aren’t happy to see the interlude with Mr. Bribery.I figure it’s as much a way to keep the action moving as it is to set the stage for Mr. Bribery’s next big crime.Otherwise, we might end up with some strips of Specs and Spicy swabbing the deck on the trip south.

There in panel 1, is it a subtle Staton Clew ?Valued “See Through” Glasses providing a SpeciaL View ?Joe’s way of soft ‘hinting’, that Mr. Bribery has it too ?

Comforting in a way, to note that Diet isn’t the only one researching on this advanced X-Ray technologySeems Bribery’s man (I assume it’s a man?) - Cole that is, appears ‘decked out* (or rather, “Specked Out”) with their ’version’ of the device ? I n past YEARS Mr. B ‘pinched’ Space Coupes from Diet - this time round was head of the Line in stealing that “see through” walls “know how” ?If so? Note the variation, the “slatted” ‘quick peep’ design

But what of his Old Gang did anyone escape ?His trusted Body Guard ?One might have thought that like about ‘now’ T- Bolt’s cell would be “ringing” !

But no ! He’s a careful man, and this is likely a completely ‘separate’ entity (?) Each site unaware that the other with man power (or she power?) exists ?

Good to see “Mad Eye Moody” got himself a new job…

Bribery was always high-tech and cutting edge, even back in the 60’s.

In “Daemon”, a brilliant programmer leaves behind an intelligent computer worm that activates on his death and takes over the world.

Good morning, Vista Bill and all other members of the Tracy Comment board!Ygor Glitch will cook up a nasty virus to serve Mr. Bribery, eh? —Though I am not sure who will be the target of the virus, I see a potential opening for Tracy to call in a favor from Dethany Dendrobia here….

In Red Skelton’s “Rapid Growth,” Peter Lorre plays a mad scientist. In “Mad Love,” Lorre plays Dr. Gogol. Inspiration? As for the great character actor, Jack Elam, I always like to see him catch that fly in the classic, “Once Upon a Time in the West.” The Blackhearts fell but Bribery rose.

Mr. Glitch’s mismatched eyes remind me a bit of Tonsils.

So Cool..

He reminds me of Quasimodo

“Yes, Mr. Glitch, I want you to bring about the Singularity! And if you could do it by close-of-business Friday, that would be great!”

Glitch looks like he needs some “artificial intelligence”

Ygor Glitch?

He looks sort of like an updated Chucky.

Jack Elam did not always sport facial hair. In movies like “The Cannonball Run”, “The Cannonball Run 2”, “Once Upon A Time in the West”, “Dirty Dingus Magee”, “Support Your Local Sheriff” and "Support Your Local Gunfighter, he was clean shaven. He was also clean shaven when he appeared on TV in “The Lone Ranger” and in his own 1979 series (which was cancelled after only three episodes) “Struck By Lightning”. Yes, he is best remembered by many as being bearded, but he did not have facial hair in a very large portion of his work.

Cole has interesting Specs..

Jack Elam minus the facial hair:
