One of those strips with a bunch of layers packed into a few short panels (it was very satisfying to watch readers decipher them all).
Future Thorn: doing the BTTF move of giving a future celebrity’s name as his own
Hedge: thinks she’s met someone else going stealth with a non-Iuilic stage name (it’s the fantasy 1930s, the average person can’t just look this stuff up on Crystalpedia)

Ad for the Fred Astaire RKO musical “Damsel in Distress” (1937), Screenland, Jan. 1938.
This was Astaire’s first starting vehicle separate from Ginger Rogers. Burns and Allen are his co-stars. Early career Joan Fontaine is the love interest, but only gets a mention as a generic “Hollywood’s Girl of Your Dreams”
Immortal music by George Gershwin in one of his last works before his early death in mid-1937.
