Comic Bob Newhart in futile hunt for his dark side
529947
Seated in the cavernous den of his  Bel Air mansion the other day, not far from some American Flag  throw pillows, comedian Bob Newhart insisted that he had a dark  side and that there are even learned papers written about it --  well, at least one.

By Rick Bird  There is an ugly duckling story, a new top-five network battle, a pompous new attorney and the suffering six. Those are some of the storylines to play out Thursdays on the tube this fall.  This week The Post is handicapping each night of the new TV season.

There is art, and there is money. The twain seldom meet. Or, to steal a line from David Thomson, author of the eminently useful reference work "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film" (Knopf, 1,008 pages, &#36;22.95), just out in paperback, there is "Chinatown," and then there are "umpteen possible future 'Mission: Impossibles."'

Gabe: You might notice that in Today"s comic Tycho is reading Bloodlines. We both just wrapped the book up and it"s incredible. I"ve always been a huge Boba Fett fan and now thanks to Karen Traviss I know why.

Tycho:  We grabbed a couple demos yesterday afternoon to see if we were missing anything, specifically Tenchu Z and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and came away with the expected comic materials.  I think Tenchu Z may get explored in a more robust fashion in Monday's strip, but after the loading is complete the demo flashes up one of those screens that is completely grown over with control instructions.  It wasn't even an especially bad one, and there are very, very bad ones, like the one in the demo for StarFire Saga V: Laserion.  It was merely an assault on the mind, paralyzing in its way.

Tycho:  When we were working on our first serious comic project, a comic about angels in high-school that would probably have made us wealthy beyond mortal imaginings, we got into our first real fight about religion.  Shaking with rage, he essentially threw me out of his house.  He called me up a few hours later to play Duke, but still.  We never talked about the comic again.  We try never to discuss anything of substance if we can help it, though we do allow an annual fracas as a gift to one another.  Oh, and here's a Gabe tip:  never end the Lord's Prayer with "Psyche."  Never.
