Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 13, 2017

Some actors skilled and talented are heard but seldom seen

The voice is their main instrument, to words they give a sheen.

Animation and narration. Ear candy sounding sweet

Warmth, color and inflection, ear confection a true treat.

Dialects and accents, such rich talent hard to rank

Pressed to pick a favorite, I must go with Mel Blanc

Or June Foray. Hooray! Hooray! She was the vocal Queen

She voiced Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Lucifer so mean.

Look to see a voice actor. Goes by the name of Cooper

Never long without a job, his peers call him a trooper.

“Four score and seven years ago,” he says in Lincoln’s voice

Silver suitably impressed, seems Cooper is his choice.

A scam on Lady Thorndike. Wild Debbie is her niece

A Lincoln buff could have it rough. A lamb easy to fleece.

Good morning guys!

I like the way Mr. Cooper speak the words!

I think we have a problem on the horizon… Silver’s head is itchy and that could mean allergic reaction to hair dye. Silver better see a doctor right away before it gets worse.

Hope Cooper’s first two initials aren’t D. B.

For some reason, Mr. Cooper’s look reminds me of Walter Cronkite, but I don’t think that Cronkite would have the right pitch in his voice.

“Cooper” looks like a Mort Drucker caricature of someone, but I’m not sure of whom.

As for Political Police FBI Special Agent James Wormley Jones his use was to destroy blacks of his time trying to help themselves against the horrible racism against them for several centuries here. This while the various Red Scares happened in the USA and the UK. Terrible times.

looks like Stephen Hawking

Many thanks to Morrow for his additional donation to club Fiddler. It’s a race between him and Gweedo as to who becomes Fiddler’s uncle! LOL! Here’s an update on his ongoing struggles. Every penny helps!

This story is really good! I especially like the factoid about Mr. Jones. Art & colors today are especially good!

James “Wormley” Jones? His parents were cruel.

Except for the exaggerated eyebrows, Cooper bears a pretty close resemblance to retired NPR newscaster/announcer Carl Kassel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Kasell

I have read before, that Lincoln’s actual voice was described as high pitched and squeeky.

@BLUNEBOTTLE

Roy: My deepest, and dearest condolences to your loss. I hope that you one day meet your father yet again but not for a very long time. The world benefits from one like you, but I know too you need time off. So take however long you need. We’ll be here to welcome you back. As well as Tracy, and the entire staff at the CPD.

I can see Honey already running up and giving you a hug around your waist.

Team Tracy, if you are reading this,WHAT ABOUT THE NOISES IN THE PLENTY HOUSE?

“Mr. Cooper” (D.B.?) has a chilling look about him. He may turn out to be the spanner in the works. Silver “Itchy” Nitrate and barefoot sister Sprocket may have unwittingly made a disastrously wrong choice, Cooper’s vocal skills not withstanding. —Just a spooky feeling I have; my spidey-sense, if you will….

This says there are no known undisputed descendants of Lincoln, but what if Cooper is a previously unknown great-great-grandchild?
