Wednesday's questions: 1. A 1937 “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” comic strip featured a young reader’s drawing of a family dog who ate tacks, razor blades, and other sharp objects. It was signed by “Sparky,” the pen name of what future comics legend? 2. The Crimean Peninsula juts into what sea? 3. “The Dark Knight” was the working title of a 1986 movie that had nothing to do with Batman. It was a box office failure, but eventually it received four sequels, three TV adaptations, and one anime spin-off, making its catchphrase as ironic as it is iconic. Name that franchise. 4. The Pulitzer-winning novel “All the King’s Men” is a fictionalized account of the rise and eventual assassination of Huey P. Long, the real-life governor of which Southern state? 5. The U.S. Postal Service launched the RFD program in 1896 to provide service at no charge to postal clients who lived beyond the limits of urban mail routes. What did “RFD” stand for? 1. Charles Schulz 2. Black Sea 3. 4. Louisiana 5. Rural Free Delivery |

Oh! I know #3. (I semi cheated, I looked at a list of 1986 movies, and as soon as I saw the title I knew the answer.)
Highlander
("There can be only one")
The first movie was pretty good, but it was the TV series that really shined. For the first several seasons, anyway.
