    Ah, good! Dine at Montoni’s and the interview can double as an obituary!

    I’m not sure that a downstairs pizza place is the greatest thing for a second floor retailer selling comics…

    Feature piece in that rag means 3 people will read it.

    Batty’s author avatar dreams of a Pulitzer but will settle for a slice of rancid pizza. Sounds about right.

    Montoni’s has great pizza!. The rat droppings give it that unique flavor!

    Tom, Dan, I hate to tell you but you are opening yourself up to a law suit. This is the third day in a row with no Ed in the strip. I see a class action suit for pain and suffering coming. Remember it’s not about the story line it’s about Ed in the picture.

    Okay—COMICS TRIVIA FOR TODAY

    If Alan Scott(GREEN LANTERN) can fly, why does he need a little fat guy to drive him around in a taxi?

    I used to patronize a local chain called Comics and Comix when living in San Francisco.

    I’m sure Ed would love to read a full length article about this guy. And Ed is their only subscriber.

    This is a ham-fisted hint by Batty for a free meal…

    It may be early in the week yet, but I think we’re working on a contender here for worst comic strip of all time. It has that feeling you get when watching a no hitter.

    That he is. Using Pizza to get a story works better than any other technique…..

    Stop asking for Cranky in every strip. Not every strip has the featured character every day!

    I’d like to claim I called it yesterday when I mentioned Montoni’s, but I think we all have that dam​ned place on our ‘Winkerbean Weeks’ bingo cards.

    I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon. So far, none of the characters has brought up silver-age comic books or omnibus editions. Can someone check in on Batyuk to make sure he’s okay?

    Well with the press’s reputation today, I would insist on a review of the article with the right to editorialize it prior to publication.

    But the pizza parlor is next-door! Not much of a commute.
