    Happy 80th Birthday, VistaBill! Thank You for all your contributions to this board. You make this a better place to be every day! I’ll only be 62 on my next birthday, and I don’t feel as if I have even half of your vitality. I hope your day will be filled with fun & happiness, and spent with those you love. I also feel that, of all the people I’ve never actually met, you are one of the ones I respect the most, simply for your commentary. You are appreciated!

    So they need someone who looks like Karloff to play Jonathan in Arsenic and Old Lace. I think we’ve seen someone who looks like that lately. Maybe Vitamin could do it with the right makeup, but that could lead to confusion later on. Hmmm….

    Interesting. When I “hover” over the “Google” image, I see “Happy Birthday Vista Bill”. Maybe It’s me hallucinating! Or, I’m the only one that can see it!

    Why do the first two frames of today’s comic strip remind me of “Arsenic and Old Lace”? ;-D

    Can’t find an actor to play Johnathan, eh? I’m guessing they’re casting for “Arsenic and Old Lace”, ya think, what with Gruesome looking like Boris Karloff and Dr. Einstein (the name of another character in AaOL) looking like Peter Lorre.

    P.S. Happy B-day, Vista Bill!

    If Gruesome tries out for the rôle of Jonathan in a Patterson Playhouse production of Arsenic and Old Lace, he may cross paths with Vitamin Flintheart and /or Kandikane Lane (if she ever gets off that motorcycle!). And that could bring Tracy into the picture. This could all be very convenient for Gruesome! Why, Dr. Einstein could even play Dr. Einstein! —Or would that be type-casting?

    A fellow named George Burns, who lived to be 100 once said “If I knew I was going to live this long I would’ve taken better care of myself”. So, Happy Birthday Vista Bill and may you have a happy and healthy long life!

Rooney8 – Officer O’Hara9 – Officer Brophy10 – Officer Klein11 – Mr. GibbsYou get one guess.

    Getting back to the strip, Gruesome has done a great take on Bones’ “I’m a doctor, not a…” catchphrase.
