Shaky is interested in a potential new source of income. The comely and delectable Edison genteelly and coyly holds her hand over her throat in an attempt to conceal her coquettish nervousness.
Shaky suddenly notices the man getting his order from the sushi bar from behind Crystal. He tries to think of where he’s seen him before, and suddenly realizes that he’s Clark Kent, the legendary reporter for the Daily Planet. Shaky wonders what he’s doing in town and why he’s searching for a scoop in Tracyville. He senses that having an ace reporter in town may spell trouble for him, but is glad that it’s not that nosy reporter dame, Lois Lane. She’s supposed to be even worse than Kent and more annoying than an angry teacup poodle. At least teacup poodles are good punting dogs. Shaky knows that he can put down a good thirty yards downfield with a strong back wind.
Despite the risks, Shaky is interested in getting more information about used belt buckles as a quick source of cash, as well as old comic strips.
“Hey, girls, I have a bunch of old Alley Oop comic strips from the past year or so. What are they worth?”
“Hmmm…maybe the sushi guy could use them as some fish wrap, but otherwise nothing.”
“Okay, belt buckles it is, yeah, see, yeah…Now we need a plan.”
The trio refill their cups of joe, but Shaky is always careful to not drink too much caffeine because it gives him the jitters. They brainstorm the afternoon away….
Monday is a grind at Fletcher mall just like it is in our own lives; when the engine strains to come back to life after a luxurious two fun filled days off.
1-JAY: How do you like the high-and-tight whitewall I got shaved on just the right side of my head. Sends a message, ya know.
2-CRYSTAL BETH: Yeah, that your barber sucks.
3-WHATSER: You’re back! I was feeling so oddly angular before you returned but now I feel gorgeous again! Except for my Scooby Doo Shaggy hairstyle of course. Though it’s still better than your 3rd Reich Tribute. Do you have to stand like Der Fuhrer? It’s embarrassing…
BACKPACK GUY: Hey! I’m lookin’ for the Muff store. You know where it is?
WOMAN: In between the Taco and the Clam store of course.
It almost gets to the point where the guys are purposely FUBARRING this strip. Those 60’s Tracy books might be valuable, but the recent stuff will never sell.

Good morning™, comic strip collectors!
So, he bought it for $10 and might be able to sell it for $2000. That’s not a bad profit!

Oh, c’mon, Edison! Pay good money for a comic strip?! Who would do that?!
Now, belt buckles, that’s a thing I can believe. —Especially in the West and Southwest.
And, P.S. Edison is looking much better today than she did yesterday

I still have my collection of mid-60’s Dick Tracy comic strips. Anyone want to buy them for a couple of thousand? ;-)

Is it just me, or is there a lot of innuendo going on in the store names?

Shaky looking for a new scam? Counterfit oversized novelty belt-buckles?
