   I interviewed Rex Stout a long time ago. Not sure he ended the Columbia series. He did say that the studio hoped that they could get Charles Laughton and Humphrey Bogart, but wound up with Edward Arnold and Lionel Stander. At the time of our meeting, Universal was trying to get him to agree to a series of TV movies starring and directed by Orson Welles. Stout said he didn’t trust Welles and thought it made more sense financially to wait until after his death, when the literary series would end and his surviving family could sell TV and film rights. But the books continued, written by Robert Goldsborough in a style reminiscent of Stout’s.

   Aside from the story — whatever the heck it is — the guest artist’s take on the strip is ugly and patronizing. Guess I’ll pass until Staton returns.
