    Blackmail game brings jail and shame. Now sentenced by the judge

    Gabriel, lay down your horn. Tuck into Fletcher’s fudge.

    The ladies send fond greetings They wish that you were here

    Carbondale end of the trail, so far yet still so near.

    Now double up with roomie who chews his cabbage twice

    Relegated to a cell. These digs are none too nice.

    Have a care. ‘Tis wise to share when roomie could do harm

    Lay low, new meat and be discreet, or you may buy the farm.

    The Blondie and Cherry are indeed on the job. With good behavior on a mere four years, he’ll be out in no time.

    It was never said what story Gabe was setting up on the Linotype, when he was interrupted.

    Help yourself, Double Up. But don’t take one from the bottom left & bite into it. That’s the piece with the spoon in it.

    Our church has had some members in prison. We were not allowed to send food, stickers (they peel the stamps off), photographs, or write on the paper or envelope with markers.

    Good morning™, Double Takes !

    Looks like Gabe is about to strike up an alliance, with an old favorite. :-)

    Good morning™, all!

    I like seeing Rick Fletcher’s signature incorporated into the story. (He is a former Dick Tracy strip artist for anyone who doesn’t know.)

    It does look like his angels sent a package from “heaven.” Lots of little puns in there.

    Yesterday I say why don’t they drop him a postcard to say they’re all right, and a couple folk complained, “Oh no! It would leave clues!” or “You can’t send mail to prisoners!” Take this, Nay-sayers!

    Yep, you can send packages. Had a part-time job that involved sending packages. Huge boxes of junk food were occasionally mailed off to prisoners. (But you can bet it’s all X-rayed before it’s given out at the prison.)

    Ans, once in tn the infirmary, the tonsil-powered teleportation device cunningly hidden in the spring surprise in the lower left corner wafts the eater off to mysterious, fog-shrouded Dodo Island in lower Wackyland.

    Recently someone thought that Eric might not be allowed to have his villans cross over with Mike’s. Here, at least for one day, he was.

    1- GORDO GUARDO: Here. We scanned it for weapons but it could still be full of illicit drugs for all we know. So be careful! Don’t eat too much till you know for sure!

    2- : EAT ME FUDGE FACTORY

    3- GABREVIL: Marvelous! I was wasting away in here! I wonder who sent these?

    4- DOUBLE COLA: Is there any significance in the fact that – to me – that fudge brings to mind “BLOND” and “CHERRY”? BLOND AND CHERRY! Oh. And even more odd – SARAH ?

    5- GABREVIL: What? That’s stupid! It’s just fudge from some 4T fan. Now help me safely pack the fudge …away some place where I won’t eat it all in one setting!

    It’s full of some drug that will let him fake his death and thus be tossed outside of prison.

    I’m trying to remember when we last saw Doubleup. I do remember that he actually showed some heart, when we learned his background, and then we saw him as a bodyguard during the Spirit crossover. He had a legitimate job and he didn’t commit any crime then, so why is he in jail now?

    The number on Gabe’s prison shirt appears to end in “666”.

    How Doubleup got caught happened “off-camera”, which is a no-no. Inquiring trivia minds want to know.

    Is there a mass prison break in the works?We haven’t had a good one in a long time
