Last hurrah


It's 1952 and one gets the feeling the vitality of earlier serials are starting to wind down by this time.

Although, this is a sturdy entry in the canon, the ol'spark is receding.. the pep, the snap and that mystical something is beginning to fade and anemia is setting in.

Still, this remains one of the stellar characters of all time in the lore of cliffhangers.. albeit some of the "pop" is not as the 'poppy 40's !'
