Well, Tracy’s back from Cuba and Mole is properly married. I’ll try to get my story summary ready for Saturday morning, as I promised before.
In the meantime, we will hopefully begin to learn just what Notta has been up to. Apparently, it required Dick to be out of the country (or out of town) to put it into gear, but we haven’t seen any results yet, so maybe whatever it is is still happening.
where’s chief patton? I would expect him there since he was tracys’ original partner and was involved with tracy in the original first few conflicts with the mole.
Since Neil Wick and others did research yesterday, and came up with the fact that ship’s captains, mayors, etc. are not really allowed by law to perform weddings, how is it that Tracy can do this? We speculated that he might be a Justice of the Peace, but Mike Curtis just sort of brought this in out of nowhere. And Uncle Ray, who obviously is an ordained minister, is standing right there. I don’t get this – maybe Ray did the legal marriage, and Mole just wanted Tracy to be involved with the ceremony some how?
When my wife and I were married, we wanted a friend who was studying for the priesthood to perform the ceremony. However, he was not yet ordained. The solution was that he brought another priest along with him as a co-celebrant. Our friend performed the ceremony and the ordained priest signed the documents. It looks like that is what is happening here. Tracy is officiating the ceremony and Uncle Ray will sign the documents to make it legal.
Regarding ships’ captains performing marriages: It would depend upon where the ship was located at the time of the wedding I would think. If the ship were in US waters, it would likely be operating under US laws. If the ship were in international waters, I would think that it would operate under the laws of wherever the ship was registered. In any case, the marriage would not be legal until the documents were filed civilly. No matter where you are married, it is not legal until you file the civil documents and fulfill the requirements (blood tests, etc.) of the jurisdiction where you file the documents.
As for Mayors, that would also depend upon the authorities granted by the local jurisdiction. Civil marriages do not always require a ceremony. Sometimes you only have to file the paperwork in the presence of witnesses.
By the way, it may surprise some of you that little old me is legally authorized by the State of New York to preform weddings which I have had the privilege of doing. Go figure! LOL!
Mole Wedding Ring in hand seen on half “bent” knee, for the CeremonyThen came, a *Flashback" on *Cuba - for Dick Tracy’s memoryHe recalled, he wasn’t only character in Havana aglow, and on “Show” . . . For there … “posing”, like a modern James Munro - our ‘old pal’ B.O. ! (?)
On Castro’s earlier sins and killings, he preached of much forgiving, and ‘talked’ of Cuban people winning !.Indeed, the STRENGTH of his policy was massive compulsive? “GIVING” !Taking a leaf (a ‘belief’ ?) from a Neville Chamberlain book . . .On a slip of paper to overlook * “Peace In Our Time” * it seemed an ‘appropriate’, clever hook ?
How Could Raul refuse (?) … his and Fidel’s “communism” firmly remained in placeAnd remaining “In Charge” as before - was the verysameCastro Data Base !Then talking of a Base, at the end of the Rainbow there were things to “pop up” like sayGuantanamo (?)Nothing could sound much sweeter, than a Naval Baserenamed *
“Fidel Castro”!* ?(OrChe Guevara for the dead instead ?)
“Yankee Go Home” was on the agenda, don’t mind if some idiots (?) (somehow) saw it as - a “surrender” (?) A GIVINGdeal is freeand “PLENTY”, one you can’t refuse when President B.O. is the vendor/sender !‘Giving away’ - everything is fine, but some ‘worried’ he’d BOW LOW to a “King” - a 2nd time ! ?Readers will “recall” his BEND for his friend, ‘shot-in-bath’ Diet Smith - which led to Sunny Dell Acres (property) Deal
YES ! Giving is not a Sin . . .* In this ‘misunderstood’ World it allows B.O. (i.e. BOB OSCAR) to ultimately Win !But is another- B.O. Out on a limb ? Golly ! Some may think it ‘sounds’ a ‘heck of lot’ like - him !
YAY!Congratulations to the newlyweds! May the Mole family live happily ever after![Although, this being Dick Tracy, there is a strong possibility that they won’t.]
Does it shoot a flame out the back when it takes off too ?
That’s a very good question! I saw a video of him driving it, but they never showed the back of the car, so I couldn’t tell if it even had that round part, but I assume it has.

I’d expected an entire day of “Jerry King” explaining how he came to own a 1966 Batmobile.

They skipped the part where they said the names. I hoped to hear The Mole’s real name.
