The Lure of the Ringmaster, written by

Carrie Bates, pencil by Ruf Novick, inks by Frank Giacoa, lettered by Milton Snappin, colored by Gene

DiAngelo. We begin, Central City Police Station inside the police lab. We see a frustrated

voice. What we see it, because we're reading it. There you would be hearing it.

The frustrated voice is of Barry Allen. See, his wife, Iris is calling him to give him the grocery

list. It involves eggs, double thick loin lamb chops. Ooh, eaten like a king, are we, Barry? She thinks

he's forgetful. So she's been calling to remind him to stop at

the grocery store. Barry's getting pissed off. He's a forensic scientist. He has a decent memory.

He might be slow. He might be accused of being lazy. I don't see the lazy one, but he's not

forgetful. So he's a little pissed off as he's leaving the lab, heading out. It's on the street.

He hears a phone

booth ringing. He goes to answer it because sometimes criminals use that phone booth to call

in anonymous tips. Don't ask me why they just don't call the police station from a phone

booth, which would be, I think, more effective. If you're taking a chance that no one's walking by the phone booth at that time in front of the police station, Barry picks it up, and he's immediately taunted by the voice and the other side but saying, it's about time you called it a day, Barry Allen. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? It's Golden Glider, because we see on the other side, it's sort of those double phone booths. It's not like a whole booth, I should say.

It's like sort of a... Golden Glider. Because we see on the other side, it's one of those double foam booths.

It's not like a whole booth, I should say.

It's like sort of a kiosk.

And the other side's the golden glider.

Effective, I guess.
