The More the Merrier1943

[Carter and Dingle are reading a "Dick Tracy" comic strip]

Connie Milligan:
Is that the best you can do with your time?

Joe Carter:
Mmm. Got to keep up with what's going on.

Benjamin Dingle:
I missed two Sundays with "Superman" once, and I've never felt right since.

Connie Milligan:
Seems to me you might read something more beneficial.

Joe Carter:
Like what?

Connie Milligan:
Like the editorials, for instance, or the columns. All well-informed people read the columnists.

Benjamin Dingle:
Such as Mr. Pendergast, I suppose.

Connie Milligan:
You're right, I suppose. Mr. Pendergast always reads the columnists.

Joe Carter:
Are they funny?

Benjamin Dingle:
Sometimes, but no pictures.
