    Sam looks like a doofus! General Trelane, please offer my apologies to the Sam Catchem society of pastrami lovers. Tell them not to protest at my door!

    Old 1920ā€™s gimmick. Victim pressed down hard while writing on the pad. Just rub lightly over the top sheet of paper with the pencil for the writing to stand out in reverse.

    Well, unless more then one sheet was torn off, whip out the old lead pencil and try for a rubbing. ALWAYS worked for the Hardy Boys (but, didnā€™t perky young Nancy Drew use lipstick?!

    TRACY (reading): Bullwinkieā€¦isā€¦aā€¦dope.

    SAM (aloud): Hmm, looks like some short guy left a jar of mustache wax!

    SAM (thinking): Aaaand into Mr. Pocket! Should be good for a fast busk or two.

    DORA THE EX. (on loan for a fast cameo while her TV show is getting a jungle set redesign): Swiper, no swiping!

    SAM (aloud): Thatā€™s Stealinā€™ Sam. And Iā€™ve TOTALLY reformed!

    (shoves faintly protesting map into inner pocket and walks of, whistling Radar Love off-key)

    Samsamsam: Thatā€™s your lunch list youā€™re consulting. Tracy KNOWS that much a;ready. Unless youre going to tty to tell him the killer is ā€˜Coleā€™ Pastrami, the visiting kosher Italian chef from the pathetic online culinary show EAT IT ANā€™ SHARRUP YOU MOUTH!

    (BLINKS)

    Mustache was, funny way of speaking.

    Could it BE???

    Somebody stole the incriminating note.

    When we resume, will Christmas be just another dull working day for Dick,or will t he strip t ake time out to celebrate?

    1- SAM: Hey Tracy ā€“ look how I hold a pen. Cool huh?

    2- SAM: But itā€™s impossible to press down hard enough to make a mark on the paper! See ā€“ nothing!

    3- DT: I thought you were leaving. SAM: Wait. Is that the real Tracy or the cosplay Tracy? HEY ROACH!

    DT?: What? Ooops. I mean: WHERE? STEP ON IT! Whew! That was close!

    Slylock Fox did this the other dayā€¦ Use the pencil to expose the impression of the previous note on the pad.

    Curious how Burchettā€™s Sam Catchem bears more than a passing resemblance to Flattop Jonesā€¦

    ā€¦.perhaps he was busy trying to phone somebody on that "Brrrt, brrrrt, brrrt, brrrrt, Ca-choonk! telephone there, like the one in the Paul McCartney song? Those took some time, especially if you muffed a ā€œbrrrrtā€, expended your vocabulary of bless-words, and had to start over!ā€¦ā€¦..

    That certainly is suspicious. Nobody sits at a desk without a pen or pencil in their hand.

    MISTAKE DEPARTMENT

    When Collins and Fletcher did ā€œThe Ghost Of Itchyā€ā€”1981

    The house they used was about three times the size and completely different from the 1945 Itchy house where Tracy was nearly starvedā€”it was presented as a one story ā€œrailroad flatā€ place.

    So in case no else has posted it, the Clock Tower storyline returns (as expected) on Monday 12/16.
