Fisher gets his own back... Due to copyright concerns you have to imagine the image. Please attribute to the Coen Brothers inside your own head.

"How in hell will you get Micawber Fisher out of this one?" "umm..." Image is a still from the 1947 Republic Serial "The Black Widow" and copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of Republic Pictures, viz. Artisan Home Entertainment since 1998. The Black Widow is not available to buy.

Fisher and Miss G converse pool-side... That's the real Ginger in the picture. Maybe Fred was hoping she'd drop by. The picture was PD and I put the lettering on it, so I could claim copyright, but I'm not.

In which something, but not so very much, happens. Image is lifted from a Northampton auctioneer's website, the box is long sold, but they still sell such things. I doubt they'll recognise the image after what I've done to it.

Where else would you get rid of an "Admiral's" body? Image source is U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and dated 1923 normally that's PD for U.S. sourced stuff. I guess the USN would be more upset about the content than the use of this graphic.
