Apparently one in a series of graphic novels featuring “Lefranc”, who in this convoluted tale is posing as a journalist while trying to stop a Russian group from raising a cloned Stalin.

If you speak better French than I do… an extremely low bar… you can Google it yourself, and probably get more and better information… if you care.

That was enough for me.

Woof. Sounds almost as exciting as the mystery Batbasset & Sparrow are confronted with right now.

BabyTrek.

Would be nice if all those celebrity pics Nighthawks posts looked this much like their future selves.

Yeah… I agree.

I didn’t trust the sites, but the more I look at the pictures, the more I do trust the faces.

I hesitate to say it, but Nimoy’s toddler photo looks like Alfred E. Newman.

Traffic in that direction was probably light enough to allow the plows through. I’m not sure how they can plow the jammed road.

I’ve got a few… I’ll try for a few more before posting those.

If I’m right, some of these are cryptic crossword style clues.

Got distracted… And now I give up for a while…

So far

all I have is….

1 Oxford

2 Paris

3 Melbourne

4

5 Warsaw? (Wrong tense, which disqualifies in a good puzzle, but it works.)

6 Lagos

7

8

9 The Hague? (Bad clue)

10

11

12 Ma-something?

13

14 Tel Aviv

15 A city spelled with the letters ASKINHAS but I don’t know of one.

The official answers.
Some are a bit of a stretch, I think.
Susan’s right on 1-3, 5, 6, 9, and 14.
