   In the annals of “Walt’s dead” teasers, does the appearance of characters from the Comics Retirement Home heighten the drama, or make people look for the next banana peel?

   Here’s the classic comics update for the 21st:

   If Lora keeps this up, Skeezix may have to plan an escape to get away for this chore-assigning machine. It’s supposed to be summer vacation after all.

   The messenger bringing out the call for Doc to come out to the ranch has a fearsome story to tell the sawbones what to expect once he gets out there. Can he pull the victims through this?

   If Brenda has to go away on assignment, Vallorie would rather come along on the trip, versus having to play society pawn for the Livwrights… can anyone even tell a Queen when to go to bed, much less where to live, and sleep?

   You don’t get to Joel’s age without learning some tricks on how to live to his age. Even if his secret is mostly about being a “timeless” character. Will Walt be taking notes??

    Could also be a city/town/village license sticker. I’m guessing it’s “snow”, Jeff. I imagine a number of comic strips didn’t really deal with weather conditions unless a gag depended on it.

    My nemesis The Sandman sabotaged my web connection last night, then struck with a KO bomb while I was rebooting the route into the computer… but the classics update for the 20th has arrived on the 20th all the same:

    Pete’s roll-out sergeant has told him to try and get a line on the spate of fires popping up on his beat. Skeezix’s unfortunately-timed new hobby collecting matchbooks makes him a ‘kid of interest’, and today Pete is asking some questions. No Miranda warning in the 30s.

    Just as the Doc is about to dispense 0.53 ounces of lead, he gets a call. And for a medical man, you have to drop whatever you’re doing to answer a call. Which in this case is more of a ‘shout’, since we’re still six years before Alexander Graham Bell invented the receptionist.

    At the behest of Lady MacB…. Mrs. Livwright, the managing editor arranges for Brenda to head out on some far-flung assignment, leaving her no where else to turn but to leave Queen Vallorie with her boss. She’s spitting nails breaking the news, even as Our Starr calmly goes about her daily beauty routines.

    Joel invites Walt inside for a cup o’ joel.. I..I mean cup o’ joe. And for a tiny living area, the disaster-of-all-trades has the cutest coffee table you’ve ever seen.
