A 20-year-old Williamsburg man pleaded not guilty in Felony Court yesterday to charges of burglary, possession of burglar's tools, and petty larceny stemming from a robbery of a small grocery store at 25 Broadway. Store owner William Frieberg charged that Philip Niewradowski of 279 Wythe Avenue stole $15 worth of goods, consisting of ten pounds of coffee, three pounds of butter, and ten pounds of cheese. Magistrate Thomas Cullen ordered Niewadrowski held on $1500 aggregate bail for a hearing next Tuesday.

"Burglar tools," you just know Davega has a selection of last year's tools. "Oh, we have some of those over in our, umm, uh, [lowering his voice] pilfering department."
...
("Well!")
...
The expression "you did it to yourselves" comes to mind.
("large Louie Newsom?" "HAHAHAHA!" laughs Fitz. "That's funny!")
...
"Now, Dear, we've talked about this. Other people have feeling just like you do."
"No, no, but this is really funny."
[Sharply] "Frederick Landis Fitzsimmons!"
[Contritely] "Yes, Dear."

Tommy Holmes relates a story passed on to him by "some of the boys" at Bear Mountain. It seems that one day in the midst of last summer's tight pennant race. Pete Reiser was standing in center field, in geographic proximity to the First Lady of the Bleachers, Hilda Chester, when Hilda tossed a note down from her seat in the upper deck, and commanded Pete to pass it along to Leo in the dugout. When, at the end of the inning, Pete did so, the Lip responded with a roar. "What the 'ell is this!" the Dodger skipper bellowed. "You play center field and worry about your hitting! I'll handle the pitchers!" Flabbergasted, Pete took a look at the note. "Casey looks tired," it read. "You better get somebody warmed up!"

That Is freakin' awesome. It's just so funny and believable.

(What, no interesting facts about Monty? That press agent isn't so hot after all.)
I caught that too and agree, that's no coincidence.

If it's still Saunders or whomever, as I think there have been changes, the person writing the dialogue right now is on fire as this obnoxious guy is hilarious. As we've talk about, he's very much a true type to the era. It wouldn't fly today, but the imperious boss who condescendingly puts down the "newbies" was quite common.
Mike Terry started out as a much cooler character, but she's proved not to be a Kay Harrington.
And in the Daily News...
Yeah, he'll live.

As Freddie looks at the picture on Page Four, he's about to make a comment about it to his wife, but then thinks better of it.

Somehow I've never imagined Tracy to be a main of faith.

It reminds me of those "Little Orphan Annie" storylines from Gray where you felt Gray was working out his personal philosophy through his strip. It seems, Gould's pondering the bigger questions of life right now. The scales all wackadoodle, but the illustrations of this storm have been very cool.
Point of order: ever seen a rhino up close? Their heads are much bigger than this, unless it's a baby rhino, in which case how awful a human being do you have to be to hang a baby rhino's head over your fireplace, in which case you deserve to have Willie sleeping on your couch.
...
Most of the not-Caniffs of the comicstrip world struggle, as noted above, with scale quite often.
...
That was easy.

Rouge is like an evil Hu Shee. If she escapes, she could become Hu Shee's Lex Luthor.
Oh, and...
I'm shocked, shocked.
This is not going to improve the Brahmins' opinion of the Irish.
