Good morning™, all!

Blackmail confirmed!

Lizz is looking pretty good. At least I like the eye makeup. The hair colour is still strange to me.

Interesting ,… yesterday Lizz had the pencil out in her left hand … & I remarked to too myself she was a lefty (as a lefty I notice these things). Today, though, the pencil’s in her right hand. Maybe she goes both ways, if you dig.

Good morning™, Truth Revealers !

If Gordie just owned up he could have kept all that money and still be living tho’ it might be a life behind bars. Lizzie’s face is coming in nicely.

I suppose we will learn whether Dad went into specifics or kept it to himself. Oh, it was the latter. Because he took himself off the planet.

Will there be a paper trail? If his father did not shred everything. MCU has a real mystery on their hands. In the words of a singer, it’s about doggone time.

Blackmail . Big deal . Bring on the machine guns .

Lizz’ cheekbone and chin way too angular but overall she’s remarkably well~preserved for someone in Angie Dickinson’s age bracket!!!

MOVIE QUOTE—

“Get rid of them ! China is in enough trouble already!”

Red Chinese official—-THE THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAZE—1963

“Not me. I’ve been tortured enough ! I’ve lived a life of fear and H*ll for years and I’m through with it!”

DUBBS—1931

It’s so nice to Lizz in the forefront (so to speak). She was such an important part of the strip when Gould and Fletcher were in. Ever since Mike took over the writing, Lizz has been a background character. I would LOVE to see her more involved in the stories.

I do not understand. Lee was given the assignment to check the suicides computer on May 27. on June 3 Lee said she was going to the persons house and asked Liz if she wanted to come along. Then on 6/4 Lee was the one who introduced herself to the unnamed relative. Yet today Liz is suddenly asking the questions, did she just elbow Lee aside?

1-PETER PIERCER: I want to thank you two strangers for being the only people to attend Dad’s memorial service. Please bow your heads and pray…

2-…My father, who gave ALL OUR DOUGH to some blackmailer to prevent the release of info on the kind of crime that rich people commit every day with no consequences, may he rot in…

3-LIZ: He was being blackmailed??? Hang on while I write that down… scribble snap DURN IT! PETER: Yeah AND THE STORY BROKE ANYWAY! Hmmm. I wonder how that scandal rag knew… LIZ: Say…when’s the auction? I wanna bid on this couch.

PETER: Might not be one. I gotta see if Ma’s Life Insurance is paid up first… LIZ: Durn! Let’s go Lee.

Liz looks somewhat surprised…………
