Yes, because we'll use these videos to make weapons of mass distraction. Or something

"Have Gun, Will Travel" reads the card of a man
A knight without armor in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heads the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin

I like to call it "the 51st State."
A lot of people don't know that, according to the fiction, the Lone Ranger is actually the grand-uncle of The Green Hornet.

that half breed Tonto, that sell out, was ok
Huh? You must have only watched the first part of Ep.1 - watch the whole thing for Tonto's origin story. Not a half breed, not a sell out.

As originally presented, in the Dec. 7, 1938, radio broadcast, Reid had already been well-established as the Lone Ranger when he met Tonto. In that episode, "Cactus Pete," a friend of the Lone Ranger tells the story of how the masked man and Tonto first met. According to that tale, Tonto had been caught in the explosion when two men dynamited a gold mine they were working. One of the men wanted to kill the wounded Tonto, but the Lone Ranger arrived on the scene, and made him administer first aid. The man subsequently decided to keep Tonto around, intending to make him the fall guy when he would later murder his partner. The Lone Ranger foiled both the attempted murder and the attempted framing of Tonto. No reason was given in the episode as to why Tonto chose to travel with the Lone Ranger rather than continue about his business. A reasonable assumption would be that he felt a sense of gratitude to the man. - Wikipedia

I think that Cool Papa Bell is referencing Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton Universe or World.
Basically every crime fighting super genius is related to every other crime fighting super genius. As a fan of The Shadow and Nero Wolfe, I approve.

No, willmize, they were both characters created by Fran Striker^. Almost the same premise, in many ways.

I've been noticing that as well. I got this song stuck in my head the other day, and I got to wondering why shows don't seem to go for the powerfully addictive openings as often any more.
Probably best for my sanity, actually. Because I'll walk around all day humming my latest earworm to the irritation of everyone around me.

Sadly, Pope Guilty's link will be dead later this year. Here's an oddly colored variant of the same comic.
Even if Gary Larson gets those images taken down, we'll still have jokes about the meaning of kemosabe. As for the real meaning, it seems no one agrees.
