Well, yeah I did it, but I’m a dog. A lovable dog who deserves treats instead of rebukes. Right??!!

Quit sending them over the top into machine gun fire and mustard gas, and you won’t need to recruit so many.

But surely the Huns won’t expect us to use the same tactic for the fifteenth time in a row!

Yeah, he looks like a great Yankee Doodle Dandy to me.

Another actor who came up through vaudeville…

We think of him as that “Top of the world, Ma!” gangster… he was typecast that way for years.

But he was actually a trained song-and-dance man, and finally got to show it in the film Arfside is referencing.

He played a lot of gangsters on the way to the Oscar he won for playing George M Cohan in “Yankee Doodle Dandy”….

not that his gangster roles were over, either.

I recognized the kid at the last moment….

I was just starting to post that I thought it was

the young
Patrick Swayze
….

(Whom I now know this doesn’t really ressemble,)

When I realized (and I don’t really know why)…

That

he’s actually
Steve Martin
.

I never finished posting, so I was going to skip it by this point…

But I thought maybe someone might still want to know, though he’s pretty recognizable.

Okay, we need a grammar Nazi here. It either kills you or it doesn’t….

In fact it makes no sense.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

If bears do kill you, by its own definition, that sentence has nothing to do with bears.

So why say “except for bears” ? They’re already not included among the things that don’t kill you.

For “Footloose”, the human body can only move in so many ways. The fascination is how each choreographer / director / music director / costumer / whatever can come up with some great ways to use these movements to create new and enjoyable dance routines that we enjoy watching over and over again to enhance a story, or just as entertainment on their own. Thanks, Nighthawks.

Why is Tracy in Cleveland, of all places.
I would expect to see him in NYC, or Chicago.

Maybe he was already on the trail of the fabled Maltese Basset!

Wasn’t Joe Friday there for the copper clapper caper? Tracy could have followed him…

It’s here!

Sam Basset is back for the advertised grand finale!

….

But… um…. Say what?

Miss Behave is the villain…. as we kind of suspected…

But…but…. she HAS the statue?

It It priceless? Is it NOT priceless?

Did Mr. Ious die for an insurance scam?

….

And DICK TRACY??!

Am I reading the wrong cartoon?

How did HE sneak in here?

Is there a hole in one of the panels?

….

Oh my…. All wrapped up and tied with a bow!

Except in the case of Miss Behave…. she’s wrapped up with a pair of handcuffs…. er… pawcuffs.

But I wasn’t ready for it to be all wrapped up.

There are so many questions left!…..

Where IS that precious… or at least semi-precious… statuette?

Is there really no curse on it?

Mr. Ious might disagree!

Do the cops know where it is?

Can Sam find it before anyone else?

World he dare sell it?

It wouldn’t be legal… But how much does that bother a hard-boiled basset?

It could be enough money to finally get out of the flying bullets game!

….

And… I really wonder…

Will Miss Behave end up at the dog pound?

Oh no… she’s so pretty… she wouldn‘t stay long at a dog pound!

Will some nice family end up adopting….. a very beautiful… but VERY baaad doggie?

I’m sad to see this arc come to an end…

it’s been great.

But… dum de dum dum… it it really over for Sam Basset?

Sam has a right to his fee, so maybe the Maltese Basset can be sold to cover it.
