    News to hear, news to fear

    No one knows for sure

    Holding tight, with all our might

    Praying for a miraculous cure

    Together we’ll stand, hand in hand

    And face what lies ahead

    Either bad or good, it’s always understood

    The vows exchanged the day we wed

    Through sun or rain, in joy and pain

    No matter what tomorrow has in store

    My all, my life, my husband, my wife

    My love for you goes deep into my core

    Dr. Fish has the test results that the mailman brought in yesterday’s strip and you could cut through the tension with a knife! Whoever asked whether Mrs. Catchem ever appears, there she is.

    Hope the prayer the rabbi and Sam did two weeks ago gets answered.

    My family and I are sending prayers Mr. and Mrs. Catchem. May your test results be favorable. Many, many people are on your sides and sending prayers.

    It rains a lot in this universe. There is often hard rain pouring down the windows. Yet it doesn’t seem to have much bearing on the story.

    I’m okay with them using postal mail because of the tension that was generated, but of course nowadays these results would be sent from the lab to the doctor electronically. Before that, it would have been sent via fax. And anything confidential like that would need to be signed for by someone in Dr. Fish’s office, which I don’t believe happened here. (I know, suspension of disbelief LOL)

    Now we have many different people working on many different types of cancer cures, none using chemo. All using brand new types of treatments.The Vice program on HBO on Cancer was extremely interestingThe war on Cancer is finally, after 30+ years, finding ways to both cure and in at least 1 type of Cancer, they have discovered a vaccine.

    I was just remembering that Christmas fell on a Sunday in 1949, the year that Tracy married Tess Trueheart. The whole Sunday page was devoted to the big revelation that they had married “yesterday”, and that Tracy had purchased a brand new home for them to live in. Chief Patton, (who had been Chief for only about a year) fainted at the news. So did the editors of the Saturday Evening Post, according to Jay Maeder’s book about Dick Tracy, because their latest issue contained an extensive interview with Chester Gould, in which he had proclaimed that Tracy would almost certainly never marry, because of the demands of his job as a police detective. But, Gould just changed his mind.

    I read that continuity in the Harvey reprint comics in the late 50s or early 60s – it has remained one of my favorites.

    Our twisted Santa-poet, Gweedo, reminds one of The Demolished Man, but I’m reasonably sure that’s just a coincidence.

    I hope Doc Fish isn’t bearing bad tidings for Sam and Margie on the eve of Hanukkah.

    Blessings on the House of Catchem….

    There’s NO WAY the news is bad. The doc seems to be smiling ever so slightly. I can’t believe the boys would create such a downer this time of the year.
