    This reminds me a bit of the current “Popeye” story arc—where Prof. O. G. Wottasnozzle is competing with the Sea Hag: science v. magic. Another thing both arcs have in common: they’re slow as molasses!

    I suppose A.I. can’t think of anything until someone feeds original thoughts into the system for it to steal ideas from.

    Of course no less silly is having the “magic” doll use science to get the kids out of this tough spot on the Red Planet. Though I guess it was magic to get Jones and his ice cream scoop to the saucer. THEN SCIENCE.

    Here’s the classic comics update for the 9th:

    Walt takes his secretary up to the cottage to see what she can make of the interior, from a woman’s view. But I dunno where this lake is that Walt can get to and back in an hour from downtown. But Walt has bigger worries if Hazel saw them get into his car.

    Hipshot shows a fair bit of patience. I would have understood a warning shot to shut that yap up.

    George may have found another buyer in the form of Lazy Grayson, who turns out to be a real busybody when it comes to screwing around in our Starr’s personal affairs.

    Bad luck, or bad timing on this adventure, as Abe Gibron’s Bears were getting shellacked by the Lions in Detroit 40-7 this weekend, meaning there would have been no blackout in the Alley. But certainly it was an active issue, where no home game could be shown on a station within 90 miles unless it was sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff. A trip to the Wisconsin border would get you in range of a Milwaukee broadcast station, in a tavern or hotel room. Mr. Chubb doesn’t get it, either… but Walt is always a reliable and generous tipper for a favor.

    I feel sorry for anybody reading this while eating breakfast because there is a good chance that they may have lost it.
