It's Pat Savage Day! Who's Up For It?

[Anim8rFSK]

So, over at DR HERMES RETRO-SCANS, Patricia Savage has taken over for
the moment. http://dr-hermes.livejournal.com
We have some illustrations of our bronze beauty from pulp, comics and
paperbacks.
There are a few pictures of the actress I would choose to have played
Pat. (No, it's not Mamie Van Doren! What, are you kidding? Not Judy
Geeson, either.)
Is there any who doesn't like Pat? Or wishes she hadn't been introduced
into the Doc Savage series? Anyone want to see her wrestling with Mrs
Peel or giving Monk a bikini wax?* Is Pat your favorite pulp heroine or
is it Nelly Gray or Jane Clayton or Patricia Holm (I actually think I
like her best, come to think of it)?

Like so many others, BRAND OF THE WEREWOLF was my first Doc.

All Pat, all the time!

I wonder if Bama would have used Andrea Dromm as his Pat model. She'd
have been pretty good, come to think of it . . .

I guess I might be in the minority! I always found Pat Savage
annoying and a pest. I guess she was brought in to add some "glam" to
the stories, but I never really liked her. I always thought she got in
the way of the stories. "...runs famous beauty salon and gets in
Doc's way on the side..." great stuff. uh huh.

To a degree, yes she was a pest.
but Doc Savage adventures often reminded me of Our Gang comedies or
what we did when we were ten years old.
At that age, I would get to together with my best friends, the guys
and we would
play football. baseball, pirates or cowboys and indians, etc. The
rough stuff
while the girls had cooties and played with dolls, gossiped or talked
about clothes etc.
Pat is the tagalong bratty kid sister that wants to play the boys
game, join our club,
who couldn't throw or catch a ball or always fell behind when we went
hi speed bike riding.
Or worse of all, she could keep up or do the stuff better than the
guys.
Of course some things change soon after ;-)
