What would do?” So here’s the scene: the kitchen of a small house. The time: any warm afternoon. Our jobless hero, Joe Blow, is seated with his feet on the kitchen and reading yesterday’s funny pa- per. His wife, Eulalulee Mae (she’s a Southern girl) is in the back yard doing the laundry. The telephone rings. This sur- prises Joe. He thought the phone has been disconnected because of an unpaid bill. Joe reaches the telephone in the living room without moving from his position in the kitchen, It’s a small house. Joe: Hello—this is the Blow resi- dence, Voice: Is Mr. Joe Blow there? Joe: This is him, Voice: This is the First National Bank. Could you come down to the bank? We've got $14,000 we want to give you. Joe: Okay. He hangs up the phone and fin- ishes his beer and Dick Tracy. Joe is at a very interesting part of the comic strip. Junior Tracy has just jgot a wrist radio caught in his mouth, In the next . panel, Dick Tracy, in his office miles away is looking at his radio receiver in puzzlement. He wonders what lan- guage Junior is speaking. Eulalulee takes a 10-minute brea and enters the kitchen, Eulalulee: Whom was that on the phone? Joe: (Turning to Terry and the Pirates) The First National Bank. Eulalulee: What'd they want? Joe: They want to give me $14,- Eulalulee: Are you gonna go get it Joe: Is there any more beer in the refrigerator? Eulalulee: No, Joe: Then I better go get the money, (He takes one foot off the table), Eulalulee: (Laying a hand on Joe’s arm) Joe? Joe: (Turning to look deeply into Eulalulee’s eyes) Yes, Eulalulee. Eulalulee: Joe, when you get the $14,000, will you buy me a TV set? oe: Why?
