    Busted out along the route, their court date on the docket

    Violent Nitrates now at large. Shady Silver. Snarling Sprocket.

    She pays no dues. Won’t wear her shoes. She killed Stiletta Jones

    He chocked a man to death one time. No sorrow in his bones.

    They are now free, as we can see, relieved and yet confused

    Who arranged to break their chains as justice was abused?

    Will Lena join the duo, liberated from the zoo?

    Devoured ample evidence, the least that they could do.

    A reunion sweet and yet replete with growing trepidation

    Who has done them this good turn? They seek illumination.

    Now facing benefactor, he who shall explain

    Author of autonomy. Meet Public Domain.

    Hmm …

    Another villain with a film-themed M.O., mayhap?

    Did the driver stop. So Silver could get a pack of smokes??

    In celebration of the return of the “Silver” screens, Vista Bill has retired to the theater for some of his old celluloid replays.

    See you soon and a Good Sunday Morning coming down, Bill !

    Public Domain has an interesting look, particularly his nose. It reminds me of a lion’s nose but it’s fairly distinctive in any case.

    “Public Domain” sounds like someone has issues with copyright law. It reminds me of the storyline that brought BB Eyes back from the dead, and running a DVD bootlegging operation.

    Sprocket’s pants went from brand new to torn up rags overnight. She must have been chewing on them! LOL!

    The enemy of anyone who has ever held a copyright – Public Domain.

    I’ll bet that the next time we see Silver, he’ll have found his long cigarette holder.

    If he worked in a school cafeteria, would he be Public Ptomaine?

    I apologize. ;o)

    The Nitrates find themselves freed yet indebted to Public Domain. While the Nitrates have demonstrated their capacity for deadly violence, they may be beyond their depth. Gould would sometimes introduce a criminal whose demise would come not from Tracy, but from an even deadlier criminal. Will Public Domain prove a graver threat to the Nitrates than the trials from which they’ve escaped?

    Thanks to Gweedo (nice!), Neil Wick, Vista Bill, Night-Gaunt49, Morrow, JPuzzleWhiz, Chris Sherlock and Ray Toler for the kind words. Very much appreciated!

    All that’s missing from Pubic Domain is the use of the male lion motif, maybe even a place where he feeds enemies and failures to.

    Ok, a little silly with the name, but I’m on board. Let’s see where this goes…He looks more like a “Dr. Death” or something more sinister.

    Public Domain, ehh? There’s nothing halfway about that name! It’s straight-out canting. With the Nitrates former connection to “old” films, one can see why this egghead would break them out of the joint and into his service.. What nefarious deeds is he proposing? Bit-streaming bootleg movies? Something more drastic?

    He does have a bit of an “oriental” cast about him, while his widow’s peak calls to mind Ming the Merciless. Will Public (may I call him Public?) also spring Lena Hyena? Hail, hail, the gang’s all here! Or nearly all?

    I guess Public Domain hired the Nitrates because they’re cheaper than day rates.
