“Are you Shaky?”

“No, it’s an earthquake.” ✨

Good morning™, everyone!

Hector is back! I wasn’t sure we’d ever see him again after he got off the plane with Fortuna.

To Shaky: Didn’t your parents ever tell you not to get into cars with strangers?

Fortuna is supposedly looking to find what he knows about Breathless. Chances are, not much at all!

I thought we got rid of jello boy after he shot Tess. Armed assault while committing extortion should have been a few years hard time without bail. Or was he still pending trial, so only in the city lock up?

~ Good morning™, drivers and Shakers !

She’ll have half the town on the payroll, in her quest for that whatever it is that she’s phase shifting for.

What information could she possibly want to shake outta this stranger?

As Shaky is related to the original Shaky, Fortuna is likely related to the original Breathless

Groovy Kinda said Edison will have another appearance here. Will Shaky drag Edison into this mess?

I’m waiting for a big PLOT twist any minute now!!!

Shaky is really an arrogant guy isn’t he

This can’t go well.

My suspect… It’s Fortuna really Fortuna?

The plot thickens!

During the whole Shaky marriage to Breathless’ mum, Breathless was away at school, and moreover this is a distant relative of the real Shaky. What information can Fortuna hope to get from him?

1-JAY BOGART: I bet you don’t pick up many people getting’ out of jail who are wearing a tux. You’re probably wondering why I’m out…

2-DRIVER: No and no. JAY: Well, if you insist – I dunno why I’m out or why a limo picked me up. Say, you look like B. B. Eyes’ henchman – the one who kidnapped those kids until Tracy sprung ‘em. Speakin’ of – I shot Tracy’s wife. Yep. Just intentionally winged her from 30 feet. I’m pretty good with the old pisto-lay. I once…

3-DRIVER: You mind if I raise the partition? JAY: Huh. This limo doesn’t have one?

DRIVER: I’ll find a hardware store and buy some plexiglass. Or some earplugs. Or an amp booster for the radio. OR ALL THREE!

Boy these guys can really draw characters Gould originated, Now if only they could tell a story with some new characters.

I think I’ve seen that driver before.

Hold up there driver! Swing by and pick up Edison!

Right now, “Shaky” is just enjoying life as a Free Man wearing a tuxedo. Once he meets Fortuna, she may let us in on what it is she conniving about. Intentionally or not, his mere presence should get her to open up a bit more….

Anyone else notice the similarity between Shaky and George Bush senior?
