While this new Tonsils is a stinker, the idea of a six-handed Tracy villain has a lotta promise. He could be a mobster-type with a name like ‘Six-Handed Hindy’. Gun in one hand, cigarette in another, grabbing a guy around the collar, arm around a dame, paying off a bribe and drinking a beer, all at the same time! Now, THAT’S a story I would want to read!
Looks like MCs favourite colour at the moment is grey.
Vitamin’s hair and moustache is coloured bad, I always thought they were just left white.I noticed yesterday that his hair and moustache colouring was the same as the theatre seats.
“His singing is a perfect match!” of a singer who forgot the words in the songs and was known for his potential rather than his ability… That’s a good thing?
“When Sparkle Plenty was a singer, I was her agent”. Hmm…you don’t say. How many record deals did you get her Vitamin? If one was to ask her about it would she get nostalgic and the warm fuzzies? I can just picture Gertie and B.O. Plenty’s reaction…not your garden-variety happy campers.
Oh, now I’m relieved – since I read the tragic story in the Blackstone series of comic strip reprints that concluded on the debut of Moon Maid (sigh)!!
1-VITAMIN DEFICENCY: I’M SOLD! I just know this guy is going to break big with the teeny boppers! I picture him doing clean versions of popular songs just like Pat Boone did when I was less ancient. I’ve already got a rewrite in mind – Cardi B’s W.A.P. It now stands for White And Plain!
COFFEE LATTE: Yeah. That’ll work. Because it was the “great” tune that got that “song” so much attention…
2-VITAMIN: And just look how good his head fits on one of these little picture phone things!
COFFEE: We’ve got a winner here all right. Oh, for your Ed Sullivan Tribute Show? I’m having a hard time finding a mouse puppet who speaks broken English. HOWEVER, I did find a stripper that went by Topless Gigglelow . Is that close enough to be a Topo Gigio tribute artist?
VITAMIN: Probably – if she can do bad Italian accented English during her act.
COFFEE: She doesn’t usually talk but I’ll see what I can do.
VITAMIN: WONDERFUL! It’s coming together! GROOM YOUR POODLE! GROOM YOUR POODLE!
Wait a minute. When you consider the designs of the cloths and the cars, the popularity of crooners in music and combine this with the presence of smartphones, you soon come to realize that Dick Tracy is a part of the “Fallout” game universe!
I’m getting a big kick out of the reactions of people seeing T onsils for the first time.
Why does he have a bulging eye?The same reason Flattop had a flat head and Pruneface had wrinkles.Because that’s the way Gould wanted him to look,Grasshoppers!!
Also,when Vitamin was Sparkle’s “child star” agent,itled to a harrowing encounter with extortionist/mass killerT.V.Wiggles.
So I think I have an idea where this story is headed.I just hope the villain is as interesting as Wiggles was.
No amount of wizardly agent publicity will “sell” that schlub to anyone except maybe a tiny coterie of nostalgic, tone-deaf, novelty act buffs.
You’re going to take a financial bath on this deal if it last beyond a few days, Vitamin!
But I still suspect it won’t, because (IMO) faux-Tonsils is just cannon fodder for an act of arch-villainy and won’t be around too long (so I hope!). Why he might get whacked, I cannot imagine, unless he stiffed some baddie in his crooked (?) past….

Enough with the rapid hand movement, we get the point!
One eye Jack is already a very annoying character!
He really needs to do something constructive with that twitch!

So, he’s a “dead ringer” for the original. Oops! That sounds a bit dangerous.
It looks like the “Dot View Show” is still on the air after all these years.
When Dot sang along with Tonsils, she did the same gestures as he did:

Careful, Vitamin- after a couple of successes at managing winners, not everyone is going to be a hit.

Three days of seeing this singer…at least he has the “hitch-hike” dance down to a science. But what can he do for an encore?
IvanB.Cohen over 2 years ago
Probably why he wears a contact lens…hitch-hiked so much that he jabbed himself in the eye.

Is Tonsils waving “Hello” or “goodbye”?

Well, we had a good story last week. I guess hoping for two in a row is a bit much.

Going back to the original Tonsils/Mr.Crime tale,’can anybody explain what “the horsemeat racket” was??
Not that owning a meat slaughterhouse wouldn’t come in handy for organized crime…..

I guess Tonsils was Gould’s answer to Elvis. I always wondered though, what was wrong with his right eye?
