Good things come to those who wait, and Vitamin should know

Met his dear love, Kandikane. Egad! How love did grow.

The Playhouse is a special place. The art of make-believe

An audience transported, yet their seats they never leave.

Vitamin a father with a son and precious wife

Tragedy and grief and loss. He rebuilt a fine life.

A fly now in the ointment: One who’s known as “Little Doc”

If these two knew what he could do, would come as quite a shock.

Mitchell sick and careless with the thermos he does leave

A baby gets ahold of it soon parents both would grieve.

Scarlet Sting, its name did ring. Enjoyed both far and wide

The namesake thermos dangerous. A secret it does hide.

Good morning™, parents!

It’s good to see that Vitamin is making a vitamin-filled vegetable smoothie. He’s keeping up with the times.

Doc has reason to be worried, because Kandikane has already found the Thermos and is about to hear whether it belongs to her famous husband. It’s nice to see her with her new baby, even if baby Kane is bundled up inside a blanket.

The Scarlet Sting eh? Could Double Up be mixed up in this story?

No Little Orphan Annie jokes this week.

Shameless hint at the Green Hornet crossover, what was it, a couple years ago? Only, this hornet sees red!

Foreboding: They don’t know where the mug came from? Plan on it being rigged!

Good morning™, soon to be drug addled parents ?

Kale is quite strong raw. If that thermos was an original first run it in itself could be worth something though not near as much as its contents.

The content’s will have a scarlet sting all of it’s own…

cue the ominous music

The story is about to get very interesting!

Does anyone find it odd that the “snow” would be in a Scarlet Sting thermos? I would think a more incognito one would be preferable !

I guess the Scarlet Sting is the Green Hornet, but the Hornet wasn’t primarily a comic strip, if at all. There were comic books, but I don’t know if there was ever a strip.

Oh man, I hope this doesn’t mean something bad will happen to Kandikane. It would break my heart if Vitamin lost another love of his life and baby Kane lost his mother.

Im sorry but… is that LUMP shes holding supposed to be the brat kid?

Why do I get a feeling this is going to get rehashed this coming week…

A dash of snow added to the blender and Vitamin would have a real Scarlet-Green Stinger!

But seriously, things are at a threshold, for better or for worse, depending on what Kandikane does with the thermos and what Vitamin does at the same time. Meanwhile, baby Kane seems still to be in a larval state, with not a bit of him showing out of that “blankie” Momma Kandikane is snuggling. Can domestic bliss weather the snow storm? Does Little Doc make housecalls? Will evil feel the lash of the Scarlet Sting?

4- BARBER POLE: Wow Sugar Daddy, even when you were young you looked old. 5- SUGAR DADDY: Yeah. That’s why they made me cover my face when I performed my role… 6- …as The Scarlet Sting… 7- …even though it was a radio program. 8- BARBER POLE: Yikes. Good thing ‘our’ baby can’t possibly look anything like you then. SUGAR DADDY: What do you mean by that? BARBER POLE: Oops. Because it’s adopted? No? Gimme a minute…
