UP POWELL STREET.

MAYBE IT HAPPENED

LIKE HE SAYS.

HE SURE LOOKS LIKE

ALL OF A SUDDEN:

HE LOST HIS MAGNETO.

YOU FEEL KIND OF LIKE YOU

AIN'T GETTING THE JUICE, MUDGIN?

I DON' FEEL NOTHING-

ALL NUMB-LIKE

INSIDE.

AH, BALONEY!

YOU AIN'T GO A SOUL, MUDGIN.

NOBODY'S GO A SOUL.

SO HOW CAN YOU LOSE WHAT DON'T EXIST?

I SAW IT, GUS.

WELL, GO FIND

THE THING, THEN!

YOU OUGHT TO TAKE

THIS MATTER UP:

WITH A GOOD CHURCH

OF ENGLAND REVEREND.

OH, A PREACHER

WOULDN'T KNOW!

WHY WOULDN'T HE

KNOW?

IT'S HIS BLOOMIN'

BUSINESS TO KNOW, ISN'T IT?

PREACHERS ONLY:

KNOW ABOUT SOULS

THAT LEAVE:

A DEAD BODY:

AND GO STRAIGH TO HEAVEN OR HELL.

I BET A GOOD ELECTRICIAN

COULD TELL MUDGIN MORE.

MAYBE MUDGIN'S DEAD AND DON'T KNOW IT.

LEAVE HIM:

ALONE, GUS.

ARE YOU:

NUTS, TOO?

DON'T TELL ME YOU

BELIEVE HIS SCREWY TALK!

I DON'T BELIEVE

IN NOTHIN'.

OH, YOU GOTTA

BELIEVE IT, HARRY.

WE'RE ALL SHIPMATES.

IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU I

HAD CANCER OR SOMETHING.

YOU WOULDN'T JUST LAUGH

IT OFF AND DITCH ME.

THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT HE'S GONNA DO!

GO ON, BEAT IT!

YOU'VE IMPOSED ON

HARRY LONG ENOUGH.

I SAID LEAVE:

HIM ALONE, GUS.

OK.

OH,

LOOK OUT, HARRY!

YOU'LL NEVER LEARN.

YOU STILL TELEGRAPH

THAT RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S ALL

RIGHT. THEY'RE CLOSE FRIENDS.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER. YOU

GUYS TAKE CARE OF MUDGE.

NOW HARRY'S

SORE AT ME.

YOU SORE AT GUS,

HARRY?

NO, I LIKE GUS FINE.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER, GUS.

WHERE YOU GOING,

HARRY?

HARRY!

DON'T LEAVE ME!

HARRY! WAIT FOR ME!

I WOULDN'T FEEL SO BAD

IF I KNEW WHAT TO DO, HMM?

HE... HE WOULDN'T JUS PUT A GUY IN THE DOGHOUSE

AND LEAVE HIM:

THERE.

HARRY. HARRY!

GOD'S ASKING ME TO KEEP MY PROMISES.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, IT'S ALL MY FAULT!

OH, NO, I-I-

YEAH, YEAH. GO GET IT OFF YOUR MIND.

BUY YOURSELF:

A DRINK.

IT AIN'T SAFE FOR

ME TO BE ALONE.

A MAN RUNNING AROUND

WITHOUT A SOUL?

HOLD IT.

WHERE'S LUCILLE? DON' SHE WORK HERE ANYMORE?

NO, SHE HAD

TOUGH LUCK.

FELL DOWNSTAIRS THE OTHER

NIGHT AND BROKE HER LEG.

I GOT HER ADDRESS HERE

SOMEPLACE. YOU WANT IT?

NOT WITH A BROKEN

LEG, I DON'T!

HARRY, COME HERE!

NOW WHAT?

LOOKIT!

"THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE

IS ROOTED IN THE AGES."

MAYBE THEY KNOW ABOUT A CASE LIKE MINE.

YOU COME IN WITH ME

WHILE I ASK 'EM.

ME, GO IN THAT DUMP?

OH, BUT I CAN'T TALK

TO LIBRARY PEOPLE.

YOU'RE MY BOSUN. YOU

TALK FOR ME AT MAST.

YOU AIN'T AT MAST!

I AM SO AT MAST! I'M

UP BEFORE THE CAPTAIN!

THE REAL CAPTAIN.

AND THOSE GOOKS IN

THERE ARE GONNA HELP YOU?

WELL, THEY'RE SWELL EDUCATED.

EDUCATED PEOPLE MIGHT, HARRY.

OH, EDUCATED, HUH?

LOOKIT, HARRY. "READING

MAKETH A FULL MAN," IT SAYS.

FULL OF WHAT? FULL OF SAP

FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE!

WHAT GROWS ON TREES?
