I finished this with 8 minutes left for Valentines Day XD (this is an old picture)

I am totally obsessed with Caravan Palace's new song, Mirrors, and wanted to draw Tazza and Lucille dancing to the song!

Mi manca il thè caldo o le tisane ed il dolcetto da accompagnamento.

“Perché bevi sempre il caffè

in quella tazza sbeccata?

-È la mia preferita.

È come me.

Ha qualche piccola crepa,

l'orlo irregolare e

una sbeccatura sul manico.

È caduta, ma non si è rotta.

È come me.”

— Paola Felice

Strange Tales #144

Cover Date: May 1966 On-Sale Date: February 11, 1966

After several months of S.H.I.E.L.D. only covers, Doc gets a little inroad this month. It's in the corner just under the price. Also, his collar is the wrong color. For some reason they chose blue like the old cloak, but it's got horns like the new one. The All-Purpose Amulet is oblong instead of round. I'm not sure what Jack Kirby and Stan Goldberg were thinking, but hey, he's on the cover! This is another side adventure as Doc searches for Clea, only tangentially related to the main arc.

Our splash page revisits the end of the last battle between Doc and Dormie. Dormie is a bit less flippant than the previous version of this scene, but at least we get to see Clea being flung into a void! We learn that The Ancient One is still ectoplasmically searching for Clea on Doc's behalf. We also learn he's got a spy on his tail. It's Asti, the all-seeing! He(?) looks like one of the drama masks that was left on top of the oven for too long. Dormie is setting up Doc. He wants to lure him to another dimension where he can kill him with impunity.

The old dude summons Doc to another dimension where he meets with the realms sovereign. Earth appears to be the only democracy in the multiverse. Everywhere else has monarchies or dictatorships. The king of this realm tells Doc they felt something that could have only come from Dormammu. He must be very well endowed, indeed! Doc flies off recklessly while Dormie contacts the ruler of the realm where Doc is heading. "Hey there, Tazza! Just a friendly warning. Some dude in a red and yellow cape is coming. He don't like you. Beware!" "Thanks hothead! I got this!"

"What can I do to scare this intruder? I know, I'll change into a giant translucent bird that looks like it's made of uranium glass!"

I'm not sure why he bothers because in the next panel he changes into something else so Doc never even sees the bird-thing. Tazza turns into something that looks like a cross between a lizard and stingray. During the attack Doc realizes it's intelligent. Doc cleverly uses his cloak to block it while he simultaneously uses his spells to clock it.

Tazza slinks off to affect another transformation. He chooses something that looks like an outline of a cat/owl/spider thing. It's actually rather effective as drawn by Ditko.

Doc gets enveloped by the new form. "Uh oh! What do I do now?! I know, the All-Purpose Amulet!" Sadly this doesn't seem all that effective at first.

The amulet eventually works. Tazza changes back to a bird and flees.

Doc follows, not knowing this is part of Tazza's clever plan. He's gonna lure him to HQ and then he'll let him have it.

Doc tries the "I come in peace" tactic, but Tazza only has eyes and ears for Dormie. "I'm gonna turn you into a statue, dude!" The battle begins, but oh no! All the statues of Tazza's previous victims come to life and start attacking him.

But this is all a clever ruse by our Doc. After several years of stories it's become obvious that Doc is good at deception. Maybe all those years of being an arrogant douchebag are coming in handy. Doc is attempting to get Tazza to expend energy and weaken him. Where have we seen this before? Multiple times.

Now, the real battle begins. Doc wasn't being obsequious enough by only calling Tazza milord and must pay?

The battle is very wordy, both in speech and thoughts by the participants, allowing Ditko to burn off a few pages in combat. Ditko does have fun with the imagery.

Doc finally gets the better of Tazza. Tazza confesss. "Clea? Who dat?" Doc realizes he's telling the truth, forces Tazza to set his victims free and bolts. Asti reports back to Dormie that Tazza bungled like everyone else they have set on Doc. Dormie replies with his best "I meant to do that" phrasing. Doc is off to continue his search.

The story is fun filler. It doesn't push the arc any further. I'm sure Ditko was planning his exit from Marvel at this point and was having fun drawing the whacky creatures and realms whether or not they had anything to do with the story. It's a fun diversion, but nothing more than that. Tazza isn't particularly memorable and seems like a rehash of the mask demon demon from issue #136. There are only two more Ditko stories to go. One is memorable.

Ogni volta che vado a fare la spesa compro un thè/tisana nuova.

Caramello e panna bocciato.

Tazza: The Hidden Card (2014) dir. Kang Hyeong Cheol. 타짜: 신의 손 (2014) dir. 강형철. 7.6/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Dae Gil and Mina's second interaction when he says he'll come back for her is all cute. Dae Gil appearing quickly for the first kiss is so funny and cute. This is the first time that I thought TOP was hot. Smoking together with the contract fire was hot. That two car parallel spin was epic. Yooo Ghost's hand being shot was epic.

The hand ram in the car door is crazy. Omg the cement block toss at Mina was messed up.

This is so disgusting to see how ruthless we are at manipulating people.

It's crazy because people try so hard to reach their dreams, especially after they meet failure after failure. But, this gambling situation is different. Like, they keep coming up and up despite how down and down they go and it's not to reach like a normal type of dream. It's pretty amazing.
