As promised, this time I present part two of Single Series 22 Iron Vic where we discover just how amnesiac Vic goes from being an evening wear wearing vigilante to a professional baseball player. He just…kind of does. Seriously, cartoonist Bernard Dribble wastes no time getting Vic out of the crime busting racket and right into ball playing. And while his portrayal of a major league sports team doesn’t seem particularly well informed, given Drabble supposedly played minor league baseball, he does seem a whole lot more comfortable drawing this version of Iron Vic.

It definitely allowed him to get more cartoony, as in this totally random panel featuring one of Dribble’s standard old men who is interrupted in the bath by one of Vic’s runaway balls. I say ‘totally random’ because we are introduced to Mr. J. Windgate Fitzwillie…and that’s it. He doesn’t turn out to be the owner of the team who has a spirited, beautiful daughter who gets Vic involved in high society My Man Godfrey type shenanigans. No, he has absolutely no other role in strip other than to provide a cheap sight gag. What the hell?

It’ s still not very good, but it’s definitely more interesting.
