Great to see the answers to a difficult but educational quiz, Officer Torch! I have learned much here, although I undoubtedly need to devote many more hours to studying the sacred FG texts earlier cited by Prince Barin.

I am kicking myself for not answering number 12, as I have read about Kenneth Strickfadden numerous times!

I was definitely a bit off the mark on questions 13 and 24. On 24 I should have answered (d) Drops of Forgetfullness and Pills given to Aura by the high priest. There is no call for you to eat crow, Officer Torch, and I cannot eat crow either, because King Vultan has eaten all of it already, heh!

Regarding question 22, I have seen a few panels from the famous Alex Raymond strip, and of course Dale Arden was far from blonde in it. The Jean Harlow influence makes sense, as she was still a major screen siren at the time of FG '36. It's interesting to note that after Harlow died in 1937, Dale Arden dropped the blonde look for Trip to Mars in 1938.

Yeah, I'm tardy-- I'll get around to it.

Jean had her hair dyed a little darker brown in 1937 when she was working on a Universal film and Mars at the same time, so it stayed that color and was shorter at the time. In FG 36, it was dyed, toned and short, but the hair extensions made it look longer than it appeared and matched in color starting in Chapter 2. They curled her hair and the extensions for a fuller look.

Her natural hair color was light/medium brown and for the 37' picture and Mars, she went a little darker in color.

Carol Hughes in the 1940 serial film looked virtually the same as Dale in Raymond's comic strip at age 29. They couldn't have found one who had such a great resemblance, just as Buster did to Flash.

Memo
From: Emperor Ming
To: Tim

Tim:
This is your Emperor speaking...Ming...Emperor of the Universe. My trustworthy Officer Torch is typing this as I speak. I presume you are reading this on your televisor.

At this time, I wish to congratulate you for your bravery in posting answers to the recent quiz. You answered many, and most were correct or reasonably so, with highly intelligent comments and honesty. You will be royally rewarded. Simply save this Memo and consider it a voucher when you visit my souveneer shop on Mongo*. Present it to the desk captain of the guard.

This serves as a promotion for you to serve in the IOQM, that is, the Imperial Order of Quizmeisters of Mongo. Alternatively, should you refuse to consider studying the sacred scriptures and further adventures on planet Mongo, there are alternatives as gifts...eg, a 7 day pass to Vultan's sky city with daily shadow puppet shows, by Vultan himself. You will of course be served refreshment sitting next to Orso...specifically, a large jar of honey.

Other options include: a position in Kala's kingdom tightening bolts, and inspecting for corrosion, or a supervisory position in cleaning the gocko's cave. (A brand new shovel is included.) In the giftware dept, you can choose from: Kra-Z Mongo Glue, the same used by Thun on his sword sheath, or Octosac repellent, flying dragon leg (as often enjoyed by Vultan), or other items. Our residents from Mongo can assist, eg, try asking the high priest for tips or any of my trustworthy subjects. Heh.

Emperor Ming


*Note: Supply own R/T transportation. (We can only provide 1 Way...inbound.)

Hey! Tim! Torch here...with congrats for a job nicely done. There's quite a bit to this FG "stuff" in many areas...I'll save the sales pitch. You did very well, and hope to see you around Mongo here often. Regards to you, and all, from Officer Torch.
