    Good morning™, reformers!

    If you poke a bad guy with a knife, does that make him more compliant?

    It’s nice to know that Mr. Impersonator is at least trying to convert ot the straight and narrow, but I’m not sure that leaving Coffyhead behind is going to be as easy as he hopes.

    Good morning™, tough guy talkers !

    At least Tonsils came somewhat prepared. A gun would have given a better margin of safety. He will spend the rest of his and Coffyhead’s life looking over his shoulder.

    Sadly the young actor’s eye never fully recovered from all those years of playing a young Colonel Klink!

    These two have a cartoony effect reminiscent of Ferret and Ape.

    According to Tracy, (a few days back) the original Tonsils was in too deep too…This isn’t going to go well for Vitamin..

    “Do you know who I am?” the man screamed.

    “Ted Cruz… Oh, sorry. Forgot this is the Dick Tracy comic strip and not the Boseman Montana airport. Yeah, you’re the guy who’s been buying dope from me for years. The police don’t want to know that about either of us. Let’s pretend we’re strangers so you don’t go off on some half-baked revenge plot that gets me killed and you jailed for murder.”

    Coffyhead would probably be insulted if Pseudo-Tonsils busted out laughing.

    What happens next…Coffyhead learns about the next career move singer is making…hmm…he buys a front row seat at the playhouse. Probably will pass himself off to Vitamin as the head of a record label. Vitamin will fall for the okie doke. (hook, line and sinker)

    1-MR. COFFY: WHY YOU! SLAP SLAP SLAP ASTRO: OUCH OUCH OUCH!

    2-ASTRO: HA! You brought slaps to a knife fight…

    3-…Listen! I’ll hold a slot open for your ma’s teenaged fantasy next month. I’ll even sing GROOM YOUR POODLE during the act but after that – I’M THROUGH I TELL YA! I’M THROUGH!

    4-MR. COFFY: YOU JUST THINK YOU’RE THROUGH! I GOTTA AN OLD MAID AUNT WHO LIKED THAT SONG TOO AND SHE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO BE HER “FIRST”!

    ASTRO: HER “FIRST”?!?! Excuse me while I consider using this knife for some self-administered gender adjustment…AFTER I HURL! URPPPP!

    Original Coffyhead story also debut of “the finger ring camera”—-a mini-job that could take concealed photos.That “head” caught Tracy’s attention and he snapped it just for practice.Came in handy later.

    I’m betting Flintheart dumps Tonsils like a bad habit in deference to his good friend “Richard” and then you’ll have a very nasty meeting between Tonsils and Coffyhead……

    “Conflict” is established, essential to plot development in a [Coffy]pot-boiler like this. Quick with his stick-knife Tonsils Impersonator (does he think he’s Mackie Messer?) vs. big, strong, hot-tempered [that’s how it brews in his coffee-pot head] Coffyhead! One of these guys is gonna off the other before we’re through, unless the storyline has been over-sanitized by fastidious Syndicate Censors. I still think the fake Tonsils has gotta go….

    Great tough guy art and dialog the last three days. Hoping for more tomorrow. If we squint, hold our breath, suspend thought we are almost transported to that long ago era of Gould and his magic touch, based on his sincere dislike of crime and criminals. The scenes have an ambiance of “Mean Streets” or “Goodfellas” or even “A Bronx Tale”. All that’s missing is a sound tract of 50’s – 60’s music, and darker, less solid coloring and more shading of the panels. I guess the phrase might be, “Too antiseptic”. The scenes are so bright one almost needs sun glasses. Incidentally, CoffeeHead should be called, “Mook”. “What’s a Mook?” Maybe, Martin Scorsese or Robert De Niro are not busy right now and they could come in as directors. (Incidentally, I know what a “Mook” is – I was just inserting some appealing dialog from a scene in Mean Streets for fun.)
