Mad Dog Coll, at least, got gunned down in a phone booth.

It does seem a natural spot for an assassination -- nowhere to run or hide, and the guy is probably distracted and has the receiver in his hand.

Does that mean she's immortal in the sense she won't ever die of natural causes but can be killed, or would she still be technically alive even if she fell into a meat grinder? Wait, considering Dick Tracy's old levels of violence, I might have just guessed the gruesome ending to this arc.

I think it's established she can be killed, since her husband kicked the bucket.

It sounds like Mark thinks Cherry's life will be short, but his own won't. "Life is short. I want to show you as much as I can." rather than "Life is short. I want us to see as much as we can." The evidence for Mark being a robot is mounting.

I'm giving the smartest goon title to Tyler Two, from the Captain Laserbeam segment of Thrilling Adventure Hour. By the end of the series he proved his ability to go pro as a villain. But he just wants the cash that henching provides. And to be a docent at a museum.

Quite a lot of original star trek involved "a wizard did it" plot resolution. That's not even including Scotty's engineering miracles.

HOLY poo poo an actual good joke and piece of minor character development from Tinkersons? Too bad the mom has one leg, one boob, and goddamn flipper arms. Also, missed a spot, colorist.

Nope, still poo poo.

So Gilchrist is stuck so far in the past that a 50 year old TV show can challenge his views and inspire him to think about the issues it portrays.

Actually that's not exactly a surprise, is it.
