I wonder what Specs gets if he can’t find the treasure?

Good morning Bill New Horse !

Why does “Bill New Horse” remind me of …

I’d kind of like to see Specs & Spicy get spared. They may end up getting ‘saved by arrest’ yet.

They seem rather disposable and we haven’t had a good bad guy death in some time. _________________________________

Specs is far from disposable, unless they can get his glasses to work with anyone else. More likely, they’ll goad him with repeated promises of his new gang until he loses patience, then he’ll get a leash and a whip. Or he’ll be sold back to the Apparatus for a great amount of money, as the earlier phone call suggested.

Evil schemes and double crossing plotsCertainly seems like someone’s gonna get shotPromises made tongue in cheekHonestly fades all seems bleakScratch my back and I’ll scratch yoursYou’ll be whacked on Cuban shoresMoney lost will soon be foundBut you’ll be toast no longer aroundUrgent scoop this ride better end quickBefore Alley Oop seems exciting and slick.

We last left off with the crew of the Enterprise valiantly attempting to withstand a surprise attack by the Moon People, led by Mad Mysta Mindy, an former girlfriend of Captain Kirk’s.

Captain, shields down to 20 percent!Scotty, get me more power to the shields!I just can’t do it Captain, I just don’t have the power!Come on Scotty, live up to your reputation as a miracle worker! Aye Captain, a miracle and a Gremlin on a plane wing will do the trick! Fascinating!What do you find so fascinating Spock? The human character flaw to waste time being sarcastic, my good Doctor! Spock, are you out of your Vulcan mind? You’re dissecting human behavior right before we’re all about to die because of our love em and leave em Captain? Shields have failed Captain, we can’t take another hit!Captain, we’re being hailed again by the Moon People. Sigh, on screen Uhura! Well Kirk, are you ready to surrender yourself to me?Mindy Honey, be reasonable, I can’t just drop everything to go on a date with you. I’m a very busy person! STOP CALLING ME MINDY, I’M MYSTA! And you weren’t too busy when I showed you what my antennae could do!Oh my!Jim there’s no way the crew should die because you’re a hound dog! Captain, I must agree with Dr. McCoy, the logical thing to do would be to put the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the few.Damn you Spock, I hate that saying. Captain, be a man and get this over with!You too Uhura? Fine! Mindy, I mean Mysta, stop your attack on my ship, I’m beaming over!.

.Will Captain Kirk survive Mindy’s antennae? Will Sulu regain his composure? Will Dr. McCoy and Mr Spock pick a song for Karaoke night?

.Tune in next time to find out!

Didn’t the image link work?

Take Two …

Why does “Bill New Horse” remind me of …

I think I meant to answer with something, but not copy the image itself. I am trying to do too many different comics posts at once.____________________

S’Okay, gave me an excuse to post a second pic of Bob Newhart – This one from his show, “Newhart,” I think.

Was kinda torn between the two pics as to which was more apropos.

DJ must be his MUCH YOUNGER brother – the revolution ended in 1959!

Please, don’t tell my Mike is getting sloppy?

This will not end well for S&S.

.Good morning guys!*.’mawning Gweedo! Vista New Horse?

Ferdinand lies dead in his grave, but Specs and his X-Ray vision goggles are expected to find the lost “hidden treasure” for DJ, the amoral gigantic brother. Will the current owners of the Star cooperate in the search? —I suspect they’ll have some incentive (like, being allowed to live). Will Specs and Spicy really be allowed to live, too, if they do or don’t find the alleged treasure? Or are they just being strung along by glib Mendoza?Costa Rica wouldn’t be a bad place to be a bad boss….

Specs Image on the glasses changes with his expression and mood..

Gweedo said: “I can’t see the guys offing such a cute innocent face like Spicy…”I hope Spicy survives. She hasn’t totally moved over to the dark side of the Force and could be easily rehabilitated. I think she’s the cutest character I’ve seen in this strip, and I would like to see her become a permanent member of the cast.

Gweedo explained,… daily rides into these pages with good cheer and glad tidings…-——————————————————————————————.Thank you for the kind words, Gweedo!.Vista Bill’s Comet 2:

Gweedo told Jonathan K.,Spicy’s cute but Mysta is GORGEOUS !!!-—————————————————————-.What about Rikki?

Spicy’s cute but Mysta is GORGEOUS !!!…………………….

Right there, Gweedo!

Gweedo quickly noted,Rikki is very fetching…-————————————————————————-.Thanks, Gweedo! Drop in for dinner after dark. Abner dug up some fresh worms and Rikki is serving them for dinner. Yummy!.

VB and Gweedo, get yourselves a private chat room! LOL!

Why don’t they just grab Spec’s glasses and dump him?

2’s company, 3’s a crowd!

Gweedo politely replied,I hope they have “wriggle” room left for me, Bill !-——————————————————————.You got it, Gweedo! Your’s will be “ultra rare”. Fresh from the ground! avenger has decided on cereal. It’s certain to be a lively night at the cemetery!.

Gweedo cautioned avenger09,…as long as he doesn’t wear that girly man cologne of his.-————————————————————-.He’ll be a-wearin’ Carl Lagerfeld’s “Formaldehyde”.

Lonnie Cavanee indicated,Rikki’s my fave.-——————————————————————-.Look but don’t touch, Lonnie!

Gweedo mentioned,’Gritty Groundy Goodness. Hmmmm !-—————————————————————————-.Rikki plans to wash the dirt off of the worms before she serves them.

RIP Keith Emerson.

Night_gaunt49 stated,Why she’s *drop dead gorgeous.-————————————————————————-.Many are dying to meet Rikki! Since we moved in, the cemetery has become the place to live die for.

JPuzzleWhiz inquired,What, no FrankenBerry, Count Chocula or Fruit Brute?-———————————————————————.FrankenBerry and Count Chocula would be my choices but avenger asked for Boo-Berry. Abner likes Yummy Mummy..

JPuzzleWhiz humerously stated,Straight from “Wriggly” Field?-———————————————————————.Yep!

Spicy will get the both out of it she is the brains behind the operation…
