Oh Boo Hoo - poor pitiful me...

I'm feeling sorry for myself. I broke a tooth and now I have to get a root canal and a crown. My tooth really hurts, but the dentist that does root canal stuff is in the office a limited amount of time each week and thus my appointment isn't until May 15. MAY! I also get frequent pain and stiffness in my neck from when I had spinal surgery plus the occasional migraine. Basically everything hurts AND now I have to call a plumber since the pipe that connects the toilet to the city sewerage pipe is disconnected and is hanging on by a bracket. Gah! BUT! Instead of whining, and you guys reading a whiny blog, how about some Old Timey Book Shenanigans! This is a book by Carter Brown, author of many a "cheesy" mystery. So, I'm not really sure what's up with this woman. She may or may not be a corpse, but the real mystery (to me) is why she's grabbing her ass. Is this a sexy pose because it looks wicked uncomfortable to me. Does she feel she needs "support" and "lift" back there because I'm pretty sure you can order buttock supporters on Amazon and really, holding one's ass isn't like the most subtle thing in the world. Yes, a bum supporter may be expensive, but think of all the dignity she'll gain! Don't be a cheapskate, bombshell lady!
Okay, here is another puzzler. This guy's all over the place. He claims he doesn't have bourbon since he has THE Savage Ghost OF MURDER!! in "the file". There's just so much stupid dripping all over this and I'm pretty sure he's got his bourbon stashed nearby anyway. He says his name is Trouble, but then he says it's Chester Drum. He then announces his odd choice of breakfast as if we, the reader, are supposed to be impressed. I don't even remember asking! I'm gonna jump on this train right now - "Yeah, I'm Kathy, the dame who takes oatmeal with a side of murder for breakfast". Hello whole grain and goodbye Trouble!! Pfft, what kind of a badass calls himself "Chester" anyway?
Tubby is really holding on to that tricycle there. He's quite the stout fe - um, Yeah. I got nothing. Gosh

Your comment about getting a buttock supporter on Amazon Made me giggle. Why you ask? Here are the reasons.
1. Because of her hair style I would guess she lives in the 1950s (book published 1957), this means there was no on-line of any kind to go to for shopping.
2. Alan Geoffrey Yates "Carter Brown" passed away in May of 1985 nine years before Jeffrey Preston Bezos started Amazon in his Garage.
3. I think the cover artist Barye Phillips was making a sly comment that Allen Geoffrey Yates was a pain in the ass to work for.
The other books, advertisements and comic book are just totally weird so I can not find anything better to say than you did Kathy. I think I know what Tubby is attempting to do and why Lulu looks like she is trying to escape.
I know Amazon wasn't around then, but as a company it's everywhere now so I feel like even back then "Amazon" was there in spirit. I think Frederick's of Hollywood was in business during the 1950's and I'm pretty sure they had supportive underwear for all kinds of needs. Probably stuff people didn't even think they needed!
Surely the only way one can "take" murder (for breakfast, or at any other time) is to be the victim? Once only.
Wait, now I've got it; what Chester takes for breakfast is "Savage Ghost of Murder", a hangover remedy he concocted.
That answers one mystery Richard, but brings up some so many more questions. Fortunately for everyone else, the questions only occur to me. I suppose now is a good time for my next dose of Savage Ghost of Murder. Lucky for me, I found the recipe for it in my file.
Wait, what?
