So, is that like a second cousin once removed from the original Shaky or maybe a first cousin once removed? I’ll have to look that up tomorrow unless some knows.
I like this. We’re getting a backstory on the new criminal, which I guess makes up for the previous arcs sudden intro and equally sudden end sans revealing of the crook’s identity.
Is there something about innate shaky-ness that leads to criminality? (I guess we don’t know for sure that Shaky 2.0 is a crook, but that seems to be where this flashback is headed.)
Okay,we can all exhale a teeny bit.Point here seems to be expanding “The Shaky Clan” until it’s at least as big as “The Flattop Clan”(which is about 50-50 in good guys&bad guys;we’re just focusing on the bad).And this spitting image was apparently raised in a small town,out of the public eye.Now,biggest question left is—-is he a good guy or a bad guy?If I see a ship in a bottle,I’m getting out of here.
Odd how so many criminals in Tracyville have relatives that look just like them and have their same traits. I’ll bet it is in the Guinness Book of World Records. Look how many of Flattop’s kin we have seen (including his wife who also had a flat head—was incest involved?)—Flattop, Blowtop, Sharptop, Flattop Jr., Flattop Jr’s Mother, Hightop, Angletop, and on and on. We have already been inundated with relatives of Shaky (Breathless, Heartless, and Restless Mahoney; Quiver Trembly, Tom Trembly) so I guess there’s always room for one more. I guess if you live in Tracyville there might be something in the water.
Seems to me to be an easy way to create a “new” villain. Good thing thugs have large families.
_Sugar Daddy’s new play, “Riffin Without A Script” continues…
1-WIFE: Ok. So we decided it was a baby and not a tumor. FARMER DADDY: We did? Ummm, did we have a boy or a girl, honey?
2-WIFE: You tell me. Say. Isn’t this your brother Sugar Daddy’s kid?
FARMER DADDY: I think so. They were always losing track of him and here he is in the play.
WIFE: Speaking of which…
FARMER DADDY: Oh yeah. I got nothing. Back to you.
WIFE: Dammit. Ok. I’m gonna keep it real. This kid stinks. You change him.
FARMER DADDY: Well then, I’m gonna keep it real too. Hell no! I’m a chain smokin’ daddy from the 50’s. We don’t change no diapers! You just let me know when the kid’s old enough to be taught how to throw a baseball…
WIFE: Well then, I’m gonna interject some drama…I think maybe it’s A GIRL!
FARMER DADDY: Well then, I’m going to use a Kurt Vonnegut line: F*** THE LUCK!
Okay, we keep getting “Shaky”, cousin or whatever. This would have to be the 30s if it’s the original. Why a television? Will this sort itself out. I guess historian Neil is on the case though, so it’s all good. And folks, I’d say we’ll never see Mr. Roboto’s face, as that story came to the schreechiest of halts.
Just remembered a dandy.In the film “BLACKMAIL”(1939)(available on DVD)—Edward G.Robinson is doing a phony rap on one of those brutal Southern chain gangs.During a work break,a con reading a newspaper says—-“Gee,I’m glad I’m not Dick Tracy.He gets into the most awful jams!”
Flashback continues: Mrs. Trembly and Edgar and their new shaky baby; and his cousin Shaky does/has it, too. It’s genetic, passed on through the Trembly lineage. A congenital defect, if you will. But which Shaky is which, and more to the point, which Shaky did we see at the beginning of this arc?
