C’mon, Joe-Allen “Joe” - when you’re waiting in a hospital in a situation like that, you talk about anything and everything except the reason you’re there.
I’ve been in that situation. You try to act normally, and make normal small talk.
Joe - How do you figure it’s greed? Perhaps they’re concerned about Walt having enough money for himself. No need to just automatically assume they’re splitting up Walt’s estate. Heck, I think it’s a fortune gone up in smoke myself, and I’m never going to see a cent of Walt’s money.

Just like Corky and Skeezix.

They’ve been talking about that card for a couple of days now - Skeezix just remembered that it was burned up?

I don’t think 1918 baseball cards were in color. I could be wrong. I guess a comic strip baseball card could have been in color.

The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, c. 1910, has a colorized photo image. Just one famous example.

Has Corky’s hair been brown like that in past strips?

Of course 1918 baseball cards were in color. They weren’t photographs; they were illustrations.

$1,000? Wow, what a fortune!
If only he had that card, he could retire today.

I have cards from 1888 and they are color illustrations.

“He wanted to leave right then.”
C’mon, Joe-Allen “Joe” - you’re taking this waaaaay too literally (and seriously).
Corky isn’t going through Walt’s wallet, or eyeing the will. He just wanted to find the baseball card.
Heck, if I had a relative who was on a baseball card, I’d want it, too!
Just say to yourself, “It’s only a comic strip. It’s only a comic strip.”
