Inspector Danger's sent an innocent man to his death once again.

ORIOLE HOSPITAL FUND FOR

Dear Skippy, Here's a letter come
in from Ray Keenan with a check
for $5. Read what he sez.
Can you understand it? Sooky.


"Giddap! Giddap!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Tch! Tch! Tch!
Whoa! Whoa! goll ding it!
Message from the strip by Gowle?(??)
For P. Crosby, a fast, hard hitting lad from Richmond Hill -- 
from R. Keenan match maker of the Oriole A.C of Harlem
(him self a champ in his day)
Strip away! Look a Ray!
Hy dee diddle dee ay!
Quiet please! Quiet please!
Whoa! Whoa! I say!
Whoa! Goll ding me Ray!

Message says: "Dear Percy,
Here's five fast ones to the memory of
John L. who rang the bell and J(??) Mace
and the day (a blistering hot fourth of 
July it was too!) they fought 13 hours 
32 minutes, sixteen and 2/3 seconds
to last (fast?) draw on a barge in the 
Mississipi some where in New Orleans"

Charge your glasses to me, gents!

Second name looks like Jem Mace, who was a British boxing champion. "John L." could be John L. Sullivan, but he and Mace never fought so I suppose the rest is just made up.

The Amazing Spider-Man

But wouldn't it be great if that were how this arc ended?

Only if it leads into MJ (still dressed as Marvella) and Black Widow just going out and having a fun night, frequently cutting back to one panel of Peter just sitting at home watching TV. MJ and Black Widow end up stopping a super villain (or other criminal) and Peter finds out about it because he's still watching TV. The next day Jonah wants photos of Marvella and Black Widow together, and it just happens that MJ took some selfies, so she gives them to Peter to sell to Jonah. The Bugle's top story is about how Spider-Man left the crime fighting to an actor, proving that he is no hero.

There is a TV show called "Dancing with the Stars" where professional dancers dance with athletes, TV and movie stars. This comic extends the concept to famous people from the technology sector who are stereotypically unattractive and homely nerds.

Yes, Game of Thrones. Truly the most nerdy of series that jocks wouldn't know about.

Does this guy think "I am nerd. Things I like are nerd things. I like thing, which means it's only liked by nerds. Beep boop all women are attracted to me except when I'm in the friend zone."?

"What are your feelings about Game of Thrones?" is a question that has never been asked. Certainly not in work. And especially not from the house nerd.

As an avid gardener and resident of Virginia I thought that composting idea made sense, so I looked it up. Glad Ripley's didn't use the Daily Press's footage for their usual picture-tracing, I really didn't need to see kitties getting buried in sawdust just now.

(They did warn "graphic content", but I thought it'd be a deer carcass, not cute pets.)

Actually, I think she might be immune to the bad guy's powers because of her extensive reptile collection.
