    Two comments on this plotline:

    1. Gunther and Bets discovered the “sweet mystery of life” and loved every second of it.

    2. I hope they used protection.

    In the 1930s and 1940s strips, Dick Tracy and his teammate Pat Patton did nearly ALL the heavy lifting. It looks like the artists and writers who replaced the late Chester Gould are stressing police work as being more of a team effort.

    Which is true…You have all these experts nowadays.

    I should have remembered that….I recall that logo from a book I read about the Operation Fortitude deception efforts.

    In Navy boot camp, it would be rendered thus:

    “RECRUIT! What the HELL do you think you’re doing?”

    Marcy is right….social media is dominated by overheated and angry 15-year-olds of all ages, who hurl abuse at each other on their keyboards that they would not do in public.

    The internet is the best thing to happen to the schoolyard bully since the invention of lunch money.

    No such outfit as the 135th Airborne…obviously the artists are keeping reality at bay.

    Is this a dagger that I see before me?

    No, just a toothpick….

    Monster the Mighty Moose had more personality than a number of human beings I have met.

    He was just a pure good.

    You’re absolutely right…the best cats and dogs are adoptees. They are so delighted to be in a furrever home. They show incredible loyalty.

    Monster the Mighty Moose was the best dog we ever had…150 lbs. of pure sweetness. He would sit at the dining room table with the family and stare at each diner in turn, making sure we knew he was there. Didn’t try to eat the food. Just wanted us to know he was there.

    He liked to hop up on people on the sofa, let out happy growls, and go to sleep on them.

    If someone new came to visit the house, he would walk behind them through their legs from back to front, raise his head, and you had to chuckle him under the chin. After that, he was your friend forever.

    “Wiggins” is a good name for an adopted cat. I hope the other kittens in the litter found homes, too.
