Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 18, 2017

Even if you could subtract aging and disease from the equation, the potential for accidental or violent death remains.

Good morning all!

Good morning Big Bill and Bromance skippers ! :)

Executed !  I thought he was murdered for it ! (look of shock image)

Hopefully, the bidders aren’t expecting protection from all harm.

Or regrow an organ.

More Portraits! Ms Flammel is a walking Art Gallery!

So before 1917—perhaps Mr. Flamel was accused of spying in WWI?

Elixadab is for life-extension use only; do not take if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, unless you want the kid to be in the “terrible twos” forever. Elixadab does not protect against misfortune; use caution when operating heavy machinery, base- or bungee-jumping, juggling chain saws or offering to fight any man in the bar…

That’s clever and funny!

Elixadab (snakeoil and vitametavegamin, 20%) has also not been studied for its effects on STDs; use caution when picking up strangers…

What good is immortality without invulnerability?

Nicolas looks like he might have been Russian.

His name isn’t Russian, but he might have been involved in one of the rebellions that happened between 1880 – 1917. Or Hungary.

To guess on the basis of Perenelle’s stated date of his death, Nicolas may have died in the Napoleonic Wars.

Even if I remain deeply skeptical of her claims, I gladly admit that “Perenelle” has installed an impressive private art collection into her Hotel Siam suite….

Re-reading old comments… Did NO ONE connect that Nicolas Flammel bears a striking literary resemblance to Nicolas Flamel, of Harry Potter-land, being the only known maker of the Philosopher’s Stone, an object capable of turning metal into gold and granting immortality with its Elixer of Life?
