I had to act out every step of Frisco Parry's three-card monte trick before I could fully understand what he was doing.  Ironically, though, I did each step with the opposite hand because I am left-handed, whereas Frisco is clearly right-handed.

I don't believe I have heard of the old frame-up racket being performed in the duration of my lifetime, especially not since we first gained access to the Internet in 1998.  It would appear to have gone out with the wind.

We have recently acquired a new LG monitor after our old one malfunctioned and ceased to operate.  On this new monitor, the scans look as if they have stretched out, but this could be due to the fact that they were formerly stretched IN - in other words, the Racket Squad comics were originally printed on rectangular paper.

The digital scans can appear to be printed on trapa-zoid shaped paper..I have never seen a trapezoid shaped comic. but that doesn't mean they aren't out there....they were very resourceful with their paper back in the day, ....they probably exist ....somewhere.
