...diss nutty island?" demands black-haired Hans in righteous indignation. Just in time, an utter stranger saves the brothers from certain ingestion. "Only for you," towheaded Fritz thanks their rescuer, "ve vos on der half-shell." And so, as it has since their birth 60 years ago, another bit of nonsense fell off the pen of Cartoonist Rudolph Dirks to save the world's most durable delinquents of the funny page for more low jinks next week...
Things look a bit brighter this year, with Joel Landau and Sandy Dodge in the dash, Landau and Joel Cohen in the hurdles, and Dick Wharton, Bill Morris, Jim Cairns, and French Anderson in the middle distances. John DuMoulin and Pete Harpel could pick up points in the weight. Phil Williams has the unbelievable task of meeting Ron Delany in the mile, while Pete Reider and Dave Norris will compete in a star-studded two-mile field...
