    marguritem has been posting some gorgeous Easter eggs at Calvin and Hobbes - there’s a beautiful blue one at her first post there today (but it may be taken down, so check it out early).

    (Phntm) Great artwork as P returns to the Deep Woods of Bengalla. But what happened to Chatu?

    (Rex Morgan) The Great Lottery Ticket Theft plan is hatched.

    (Judge Parker) Looks like Author-of-Book Judge Parker and his PR-Person Connie will attend the play at The Seedy Theater, while Sam Driver (attorney and the strip’s protagonist) and Angel (the limo driver) go off to a jazz club. Take good care of the judge, Connie!

    (Apt. 3-G) Tommie needs a new wardrobe - that outfit is definitively not “Too fancy for Hoboken and too hot for church.” Margo’s catch phrase from the 1/3/11 strip was even made into a tee shirt! http://ladiesofapartment3g.blogspot.com/2011/01/too-hot-for-merchandise.html

    (Alley Oop) What happened to the original rocket?

    (FoxTrot) Accion!=Action! How did the boys get speaking parts? Extras don’t have speaking parts.

    (Foxtrot) I’ve wondered the same thing. Frodo and Sam are two of the biggest parts in the story. And how did the boys even get onto the set in the first place?

    (Alley Oop) The original rocket was used back in the 50’s and the cartoonist V.T. Hamlin drew it with the traditional Buck Rogers design flaws. I think this is simply a way for Bender and Bender to modernize the strip.

    (Judge Parker) Thank you Florchi. I have a hard time remembering who the characters are. Connie. PR person. She’s helping the Judge market his book I think.

    (Mark Trail) And this happens too much in real life. War destroys the lives of so many people, including those doing the destruction.

    (Phantom) I don’t think we’re going to see Chatu again. Ever.

    (Rex Morgan) If he’s so good, what was he doing in jail?Think about this fellers.

    (Phantom) I agree, I don’t think we will see Chatu again and this way the story ends without having to tell what happened to him. Leaves it to our imagination.

    (Rex Morgan) I wonder if Berna has already signed the ticket?

    (REX) Security system-Riley, hope your up to date on how they all operate!!

    (3G) Tommie and Dan together- If he is ” RECOGNIZE TALENT” , does he have others he’s promoting ??

    (MW) “mistakes are how people grow” , if they learn from them.. some people never do that’s why are prisons are overflowing and the courts are full of 3rd and 4th time divorces..

    (JP) I like the name of the theater “THE SEEDY THEATER” :-) :-)

    FoxTrot -I thnk this is all in their imagination. I few days ago, they were depressed because they had missed the casting call.

    MW - I wish we could find out what happened with Drew and Vera that caused so much hearache. He seems quite mature now.

    JP - the last couple of days - I think Connie does not want to give Angel the baseball cards she had promised since Judge Parker had already arranged for her to continue as his PR person. That may cause some problems and reveal more about their pasts. And I hope we hear more about the Judge’s next book. His books are crime/legal mystery dramas.

    Marg’s eggs may be taken down because of copyright infringement. I think David ran into that problem when he was trying to continue Annie.

    marvee: You can see some of the Drew Corey–Dawn Weston–Vera Shields triangle at the Mary Worth and Me blog. The blog link below doesn’t work, so get to it by googling the following, with the + signs, but without the quote marks” “mary worth +drew +vera”

    I went into the Sep 29, 2007 link - third one down. http://maryworthandme.blogspot.com/20070901_archive.html

    Note to SWEETBILL: That appears to be the same Dawn that was recently flying kites with her dad.
