. . . have a unique censor approval number from the Vatican Boys save one: Chapter Four (Slaves of the Rising Sun) shares #9154 with something called MACKINAC ISLAND. Anyone familiar with the latter locale will recall that it was nicknamed as the original "Mystery Spot," serving as America's second National Park for 20 years (1875-1895) until someone noticed that tourists were disappearing from that haunted isle at a greater clip than from the far more vast Yellowstone. Even after Mackinac got defrocked, the mysterious vanishings continued. What could possibly be the explanation? As the narrator intones during Chapter 1 (The Electrical Brain) of BATMAN (1943), "Since a wise government rounded up the shifty-eyed (J-words)," life on Mackinac swiftly returned to normal. I'm sure that Chapter Four of BATMAN will include a flashback showing how America's second National Park was a long-time beta testing ground as the Axis of Evil plotted to take over the world!
