The only things Nicolas Blair lacks are horns, a tail and a pitch fork. ^^ ~ -----< .

I don't know, Tanis.....we really can't tell about the tail, can we?

and being the head of his own law firm, of course.

You are right about the tail. Unless the suit is made to accomodate it somehow. Guess we will never know.
Be rather miserable sitting down if it were concealed.
;D
Tanis
Anyone else have any artwork they would like to do with the keyboard characters?

Come now people. That delightful little smile. Those good manners. The genuine concern he shows for humankind. As Maggie Evens said, "What a nice man!"
In reality, I sure am getting a kick out of this Mr. Blair. As little Anthony ( from that famous "Twilight Zone" episode) might have said..."Your a bad man, Nicholas Blair. Your a very bad man!! (If only he could be turn into a Jack in the Box)
This Blair dude is pure bad. He makes Angelique look like Mother Teresa. But, that funny little hat, that evil smile, that phony charm, and those condescending words of concern...... how priceless

Hey gang,
Have you noticed that when Nicholas Blair smiles (or, as I like to describe him as, an oleaginous fop), that he shows both his upper and lower sets of teeth?
I haven't seen such a (as Eddie Murphy would describe it) big-"fanny" smile since I saw Wally-Gator in those wonderful Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the1960's.
You know, with that sporty hat and those seemingly omnipresent gray gloves, Nicholas sort of also looks like a preening, narcissistic Captain Von Trapp.
Somehow, I just can't see the pretentious Nicholas, hanging out at the Blue Whale, downing a few brewskies with Bob Rooney and Sheriff Paterson.
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender, beer lover and regular guy

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!
All this time I've been going crazy trying to figure it out and THAT'S IT!!!
Captain Von Trapp!!
Thanks Bob....I can sleep tonight!

And with Cassandra's uncanny resemblance to Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins, we have a kinky sort of six degrees of separation thing going.

I've just been trying to figure out the structural design that keeps Nicky's hair looking like that.
Did he bring in the guys who built Hoover Dam...?
Or is it a pact with Satan's hairdresser...?
?!? :o :-/

As little Anthony ( from that famous "Twilight Zone" episode) might have said..."
That was Shimmy shimmy Coco-bah!

he is purely creepy to me. Maybe it is just that guy's appearance, but he is just strange looking to me. ?!?

LOL!! That is a priceless observation! And I used to have a little crush on the good Captain von Trapp. (Oooh, that Landler scene - don't even get me started! :P) Well, no more of that.
Yes, Nick is quite a snake, isn't he? And that toothy, smarmy grin is one of the creepiest things since Angelique's mesmerizing stare.
Astredo really does a "fiend" job! ;)
With Nicholas I am reminded of two things: The Biblical tale of Adam and Eve describing the serpent as the most subtle of beasts.
Then there is Captain Gregg's wonderful line in "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (one of the most romantic and wonderful films of all time, BTW) where he warns Lucy about "perfumed parlor snakes".
Cross the serpent with the perfumed parlor snakes and you have a pretty good approximation of our Mr. Blair.
Maggie, watch out!

Dear Raineypark,
I'm glad that I was able to be of assistance with your nettlesome loss of sleep problem. Heck, I'm known to be better than Ambien in putting people to sleep!
You know, I've always wondered how Julia (among other DS characters) can get a full, restful night's sleep after sitting/sleeping in that uncomfortable looking wingback chair in the Old House drawing room. I'm surprised that she doesn't need an adjustment from Collinsport only chiropractor, Dr. Sammy Subluxation, the next morning!
By the way, try thinking of Nicholas Blair singing "Adelwies" to Maggie Evans as they dine at the Blue Whale Tavern.
Dear Scout75,
I'm glad that you broached the compelling question of Nicholas Blair's hair. Do you remember the great Dick Tracy comic strip and cartoon show? Well, the late, great cartoonist (and Dick Tracy creator), Chester Gould, had an arch villain named "Flat Top" in the comic strip. He looked remarkably just like Nicholas Blair, same flat, Kansas wheat field look on the top of his dome.
I have to wonder if Nicholas took a hot steam iron and literally flattened the follicles on the top of his head. I don't want to say that Nicky B.'s coiffure is too stiff looking, but I have to believe that the Royal Navy could safely land and take-off one of its VTOL's, Vertical Take-Off and Landing air craft on top of Mr. Blair's noggin!
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender, who finds serenity in whistling "How Do You Solve A Mystery Like Maria Conchita Alonso" during the day.

When they do a close-up on Nick, I always think of the Cigar Smoking Smiling Snake in 'Seven Faces of Dr. Lao' ::) 8) :o ;D :D ;) :) [they don't make'em like that no more!]

Nicholas was such a charming and clever villian, his only downfall was he dared to fall in love! That's not allowed with Satan's right-hand man! [hall2_wink]

Yes, but I can't quite believe that he did indeed fall in love. I have this naive idea that falling in love fosters goodness in people...no, scratch that. Dark Shadows love is a whole different animal.
