Are you fans of la bella lingua italiana? In early sixties you
could buy a
weekly "Giallo Mondadori" with a supplement "La rivista di Ellery
Queen"("[...]Ellery Queen is a writer composed of two individuals,
Frederic
Dannay and Manfred B. Lee. Their collaboration started in 1929 when
the
twenty-three-year-old cousins lived in Brooklyn."
http://www.concentric.net/~keithad/queen.htm) . We still have four
issues of
this thrilling weekly: No 686 (March 25, 1962) Doris M. Disney "Segugi
si nasce"
with a supplement No 77 (Cornell Woolrich "Sempre lo stesso"); No 692
(May 6,
1962) Richard Deming "Le iene vanno a coppia" with a supplement No
79 (James
Holding "Una trovata geniale"; Fred Sherwood "Lo spirito entra"); No
698 (June
17, 1962) Henry Kane "Omicidio a tempo di jazz" with a supplement No
80 (Mark
Van Doren "Una scelta difficile"); No 752 (June 30, 1963) Erle Stanley
Gardner
"Perry Mason e le gelide manine" with a supplement No 94 (Matt Taylor
"Sul
sentiero di guerra"; L.E. Benhey "Dopo le esequie" ). In each issue
we find on
the average a dozen or so picture jokes (correspondingly 6, 14, 14,
28). Because
psychologists have affirmed that we are such like are the jokes we
laugh at we
would like to leave these jokes to your choice. As concerns us, Lidia
opts for
the picture joke on page 135 in No 752 "- A questo punto, le cose si
complicano!" (A policeman accompanied by his pleasant police-doggy
looks with
distrust at a criminal's track stopping short in a bowl filled up with
soapsuds.) and Tad for many years in a consistent way have opted for
the picture
joke on page 162 in No 692 "- Anche i boia muoiono." (a droped down
shutter, a
pressed down necktie ...).
