Many of my blog readers may not know that my real name is not really Sid Green. I named my blog after my favorite actor, Sidney Greenstreet.
Here he is as Kasper Gutman in a scene from The Maltese Falcon.

My favorite exchange in the movie

Kasper Gutman: Now, sir. We’ll talk, if you like. I’ll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.
Sam Spade: Swell. Will we talk about the black bird?

must be my lucky week. this image is from the Buster Comic. I have looked and looked for this on and off for the last ten years, and today with the help of Way Back Machine, I found it. I am a little sad, as the search is over, but it was worth it.

click on the image and then click again to see it full size.

I should give a shoutout to Denis for prompting me to look again for this today. I had almost given up. and to Rice Crispie for giving me my first lead on the image.

Another long lost treasure

I also searched for a long time for this video. Its a work of Art.

Without the old intertubes, this was lost in the sands of time.

Turn up the volume.
