Uh-oh, Wendy Wichel is back. We were just talking about her a couple of weeks ago. But, anyway, see, Ted loves attention! I wonder if he’ll start making stuff up just to get more attention.
Sam is so very right: it’s the MEDIA CIRCUS, come to to do a location shot at PDHQ and, if at all possible, exploit and goad Chief of Detectives and of the MCU, Dick Tracy, Wendy’s regular Target of Choice. Ted “Glenn Beck” Tellum is just a tool in Wicked Wendy’s kit. (BTW, does she have a mischievous, curious monkey companion? Viewers of kids’ TV will know what I mean.)
Oh Geez seriously? My first reaction when I scrolled to read the strip…Here in my town they would interview the civil rights activists first then get the accurate story from PD public information, regardless of what the police-related story is.
NO civil rights activists in this story, as Tracy is careful not to shoot unarmed teenagers in the back—even if they do have records! Tracyville has the cleanest cops in America.
.Fully ‘Self centered’? Some might think a man who can’t see anything further out - than beyond his own nose. ?
But not stupid ! Recall he was smart enough to work an “on-air” confess out of Wormy, and nearly shot dead for his effort,
Does that ‘Happy Face’ match the ‘mind-set’ of someone who has lost his Home and A Working Studio on the Lake ? And perhaps temporarily his Nation-wide TV Show ?‘Gotta’ be - something else ?
Maybe no delusion when he checks the comfort of the Dollar Sign Balances, on his Brand New (‘hefty’?), $wiss Bank Account ?
Then with Wendy Witchell coverage, I can ‘anticipate’ Tomorrows headline , , ,
“TELLUM TELLS ALL”And sub head . . .But you’d think it was Nothing Yonson talking . . .
Hope I’m wrong, but this public effort will provide ‘little further’ for Tracy to work on. A Nothing result !
Ted will try and use his five minutes in the spotlight to put a shine on his undistinguished role in the fall of Jimmy Choo Shooz. His sweatshirt boasts stars and stripes, and Wendy says he is a patriot, so it must be so. If he spews enough nonsense he is bound to get a job offer.
Back to a late start. The good news is that I have a second great grandchild. A beautiful little girl. Her brother is two years old now. I’m very thankful and happy.
Ted looks like he has his political slogan and logo ready for use. -——————————————Didn’t he have a similar red white and blue “Ted” on the side of his broadcast studio?
Ted Tellum being self-centered! Who’d imagine?.Okay, we all saw this coming.But…Mr. Bigg was adamant that only he, BB-Eyes, Blaze, and Doubleup know where the gold really is.So if Ted pretends to know more than he does (to get more publicity)…Will Mr. Bigg send him a visitor?(We can only hope.)

I do feel privileged to have met him. At these events I used to go to, they was very seldom any advance notice who would appear. I would have preferred if there was some way to review all their past work before I met them, so I knew something intelligent to say.

Is Ted going to announce he will be running for President? His shirt reminds me of the Jeb Bush posters that use the first name only.

Pretty sure that higher office is never far from Tellum’s thoughts. ;)

Given how far ahead of deadline Mike & Joe probably work, Ted’s shirt may well be prescience on their parts.

You wish, Ted.
It seems to me that Ted was whimpering and whining rather than being defiant at the crucial moment.gimmickgenius over 9 years ago
So Ted is morphing from Arthur Godfrey to Glenn Beck…

That would be a few decades more timely. ;)

If Ted’s got a ‘Bribe’, why talk about it ?

Kind of an odd paring, with Wendy Wichel being a biased left-wing reporter and Ted Tellum being a biased right-wing talk show host.

So if Ted implies on-camera that he can be great help to the MCU in cracking the case, Mr. Bigg may decide he’s a “loose end”!
