Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 19, 2015

Hmm.

A curse involving actors playing a particular role …

“Hollywood Kryptonite” indeed.

Wondering if Mike and Joe will go “The Phantom of The Paradise” route with this.

Good morning guys!

Looks like Mr. Newman is going to feel heat from the heat….

Sadly for Sydney, it looks like it’s going to be another few days ago the office. Lloyd Newman will probably deny having any suspicions about Orlock.

Mike and Joe could probably have dispensed with the “movie shoot” prologue to this story, though it did flesh out “Adam Austin’s” world-building, and offer up a few Halloween-style chills.

Perhaps it’s the negative side of me again peeping out . . . but another “talking” day in an office environment certainly helps ?

Lets face it, it’s a NOTHING Yonson “Day”, (without Yonson)

That why full blown Mysteries are best avoided, Non-action rules . . .While waiting for Clues and News !

The Orlock connection certainly puts Lloyd Newman in a bad light. But it is a dim, murky light, and I do not yet have a clear idea of where these thin clues may lead (my earlier wild guess that Morgan Byrd did it seems less likely now)….

I just realized that “The Eyebrows” is such a famous character that several actors have played him and Orlock played him for several years. I’m actually thinking that this character is a little like James Bond. Being typecast as James Bonds has been a worry of several actors.

ZZZZZzzzzz. Reminds me of watching the Ag Report Saturday morning on a foreign-language VHF low-power rural station.

…….. on a black and white Philco TV with the picture tube half out.

Lizz quickly recoiled, horror etched on her faceNow Sam was chiming in, how she longed to flee in hasteWhen these two old Edsels got revving, no end in sight could be seenAs the one who dressed in Yellow verbally spared with the man in GreenAnd yet she always had hope that today might just be the dayThat the boys would finally realize you have to work to receive your payWhat’s this? Can it be? Tracy’s going to place a call?Lizz hoped it’d be the key to unlock her chain and ball!

Greeting to all readers and commenters.-———-@Avenger09: Good poem. Short but sweet.-———-Have a pleasant day, my friends.

Did someone say “Robinson Crusoe On Mars” …?

Its a red tie day..

@Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray

He just turned 85 and he still turns up as himself as the mayor of Quahog on “Family Guy”. He played a very serious character on “Batman”.________________________

According to the documentary, West along with Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, and James Dean were all hired by Warner Brothers about the same time as young leading men. They all appeared in nearly every TV program Warner produced during the 50s (mostly westerns). West and the others specialized in playing the angry, troubled young rebels (the stereotype of young sex-symbol men at the time). West was considered to be quite handsome and charming and had many Hollywood affairs.

Batman was to be West’s star vehicle, and it was, making him one of the most famous actors in the world in just 3 seasons of the series. But he played the part so well and his show created such a world-wide fad that he could never escape the monster he created.

He just turned 85 and he still turns up as himself as the mayor of Quahog on “Family Guy”-———————————————————————————-He also had a role in a film that aired years ago on “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” Can’t remember the title of it off the top of my head.

Long ago and far away Gweedo stated,Vista Bill dispensed with his usual daily greeting.-Good morning to you Mr. [new] Monitor Guy !-————————————————————————————-.Gweedo, sorry to be so long responding. Other priorities today..As for the second monitor, the project has been suspended for a while. Maybe in 2016 I’ll pick up on it again. It was just a small part of the big picture in life.

Gweedo remarked,Coming soon to a terminal near ME ! A Vista reinstall-—————————————————————————-.You’re running Vista, Gweedo? I have three machines that are running Vista! Soldier on!.BTW, be sure to install SP2. It’s still available.

will we break 40 today?

You mean this comic …?

Looks like Dark Horse Comics collected at least some of the stories at some point.

Actually, Dark Horse might have reprinted all of the stories.

I wonder if Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) had the same problem ?

He certainly did. There’s a whole section called “typecasting” in the Wikipedia article about him. The opening sentence: “Although he is considered something of a cult icon for this role, Harris became typecast as the fey, somewhat effeminate villain.” A lot of what he did after Lost in Space was just voice work where I suppose he was a bit less recognizable.
