    I’m looking forward to the expression on his face when Dick Tracy greets him at the Wheaton farm.

    The flu bug? Hy Pressure doesn’t know how close he came to catching a pesky Mysta Zap. :)

    Call me crazy. But, I don’t think this group is involved with Melies, Ghote or Sail.

    High pressure might find himself swimming in a cement Kimono soon (Especially if he was to try and go “States Evidence” against the apparatus to save himself from a long stay in prison)

    I’m thinking they will set a trap for the sniper too… like a dummy Nellie to shoot at… attempted murder

    Wow, the Apparatus HQ people are going to die from lung cancer sooner than most people I know. That’s a lot of smoke they have there.

    Our mystery bad guy talks pretty well for a guy with a fat stogie in his mouth.

    Are the Apparatus and the Consortium synonymous? Or are there two conspiratorial groups involved here? Hy Pressure must be feeling some pressure himself. The Apparatus are (is?) annoyed at the delays for which they hold him accountable. I expect to see nasty action very soon….

    Per Mike, whatever Mysta is, she is not a Ghola.

    If Sail’s backers and The Apparatus are different groups with different agendas, we may be headed for a conflict between them. Interesting complication!

    SInce the Speed Channel no longer exists, it’s going to be difficult finding it in the channel guide. As a side note, in a few days the Fox Soccer channel will be changing to FXX.

    While Mike and Joe are trying to keep up the “suspense” of who or what Mysta really is, for me, it is reaching the point of an infinite tease. We are also looking at the possible to probable demise of Doctor Zy Ghote, quite possibly the only man who really does know who or what she is, taking that information with him to the grave, thus enabling Mike and Joe to never have to tell us who or what she is!.It is clear Mysta will never tell us – with what has been shown so far, it is fairly clear that she doesn’t know who or what she is!.Moving on: Having taken a many decades vacation from Dick Tracy, just who and/or what is the Apparatus?.And, is it just me, or is this quite a bit like the last Paramount Batman film, where they collected Adam West’s most popular villains, placing them around a conference table…

    It’s very hard to quit. Those vile oncogenouses are very habit forming.

    Folks seemed a bit hard on Llewellenbruce and the inquiry about Speed Channel. Having worked for the cable company as a call center customer care rep, I can comfortably say that Fox operates a lot like Tracy’s “Apparatus”! They operate behind the scenes, well below radar, and make their changes often without the cable company knowing what they have done – especially to competing cable channels!.My favorite horror story was back in 2000, when I was working the call center in Colorado Springs, where we were briefed to expect furor over Fox having bought up rights to Padres’ games in San Diego and blacking them out over the local TV stations (over cable)..What we weren’t briefed on – likely, because no one knew, was that Colorado Rockies games had also been bought up by Fox and that their games were being blacked out all over Colorado!.All of this, of course, was in an effort to boot other cable channels off the air, making room for even more Fox cable channels..I see that nothing much has changed in the last dozen years or so…

    Neil Wick already alluded to this. Mike Curtis posted the following announcement on the Yahoo group about an hour ago and suggested we pass it along here:“One more thread to introduce tomorrow.The conclusion of the MM adventure starts Sunday.”

    Willy007 and Still Da Man!: May have to do it off line; it’s an image from a pop-up on a web page and, so far, I haven’t been able to get that link to work.

    http://www.ideastream.org/schedules.is the link to the page. Of interest is the WCLV logo which contains a guitar man very similar to – well, you’ll know when you see it!

    Happy Labor Day Weekend to all who labor, to those that don’t, to those who are “in labor”, and to those who fit neither, and live off the fruits of others. And not to forget, Happy Day to SDM.

    Much like the old saying, “Time flies like the wind. Fruitflies like bananas.”

    Still Da Man!: Hmm. You managed to get the little logo; there was one in which the guitar man was much larger. I thought the resemblance between WCLV’s guitar man and your logo was quite striking. Thought you might appreciate it..Who knows? Maybe crop it (the WCLV and Ideastream parts) and use it again!.By the by, just how did you get that image in the box?
