I have to admit, Branes is probably my favorite among Dot's many uncles and aunts. He's come up with some really cool, although scientifically impossible, gadgets. Why he hasn't been made an offer by Rich Labs I'll never know.
So what cool invention has he come up with this time? Let's peek in and see!
Can't you just smell the innuendo?
Aw, C'MON!!! Some writer at Harvey got inspiration from an x-ray specs ad and ran with it! But why only see through pockets?
As Mike gently grasps Mabel's hand and slowly guides it to his front pocket...
...DOT SPOILS THE SURPRISE!!!
But Mike has other pockets, Dot! Maybe the pen and pencil set wasn't intended for Mabel! Did your snooper glasses check his other pockets? Nope, you were hell-bent on throwing Mike under the bus!!!
And we find that Branes' invention isn't limited to pockets but anything with the word "pocket" in the name like, say, "pocketbook!" Now Dot is throwing Mabel under the bus by revealing the contents of her handbag, namely a letter written by some guy named Fred. Not only is Dot having a ball screwing with her elders but apparently she has prior knowledge of the love triangle involving Mike, Mabel, and Fred! Obviously snoopy long before Branes granted her unsupervised use of his gadget!
Annie looks kinda familiar. Hmmm....could she be Lotta's sister? Same haircut, a bow anchored to the top of her head....only difference is that she's not morbidly obese!
And how does Dot know the compact in Annie's pocket belongs to Annie's mother? And is Dot an expert on the value of ladies' compacts? Not only is she a snoop, she may also be a snitch, running off to tattle on Annie!
And here we see Jay trying to fend off a Bavarian loan shark. Perhaps Dot didn't want to see Jay get his legs broken, so she kindly points out that he's got a huge wad of bills in his left pocket! Violence avoided!
No, Dot, he didn't "forget;" he needed that money for something "more important," like taking it to the track and putting it all on "Wishing Well" in the 5th race! Sheesh!
Well, it looks like Richie Rich is spending the weekend in Bonnie Dell mingling with the commoners! Shouldn't this kid be accompanied by bodyguards?
Anyway, as Dot sets out the next day ready to peek into more pockets, little does she know that word has gotten out about her activities from the previous day! Her friends avoid her like Typhoid Mary.
And what are you worried about, Lotta? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY POCKETS! You afraid Dot's going to blurt out that you wear Hello Kitty granny panties? Dot hasn't pointed out other people's undergarments; why would she start with you? Relax! You're in a Harvey comic! It's cool!
Of course they hate you, Dot! What did you expect? You thought they would spot you coming down the street and say "Hey, here comes Dot! Let's see if she can guess what in our pockets?" You definitely don't want the town perv to approach you with "Hey, Dot, wanna see what's in MY pocket? Just reach in and grab it...heh heh heh!" But again, Harvey comic and code-approved to boot! Not gonna happen!
So you finally realize that you're a "nosey little snoop," eh? Discovered that you not so useful to people, huh? Your obsession with dots was bad enough! But look at the bright side; you have a potential career as a tabloid "journalist." Or maybe borrow some money and open up a Dipping Dots franchise! Whichever!

That's about it for this entry! Be back in a while for the next one! Not sure what's it's gonna be yet, so stay tuned!
Excelsior!
