A Quax, a Tuck, a Duck and 3 Dicks (Me Too #, part 8)

The Deaths in 2018 site lists under May 28:
  • Dick Tuck (January 25, 1924 – May 28, 2018) 
  • Dick Quax (1 January 1948 – 28 May 2018)
Two Dick’s a Tuck and a Quax sure smacks of inner twin shenanigans!!   The And Dick Tuck makes me think of the phrase “nip and tuck”, that means “neck and neck” (closely contested).  I’m also reminded of Robin Hood’s Friar Tuck... and then perusing the Friar Tuck wiki page I arrive at:
... animated short Robin Hood Daffy featured Porky Pig as a "fat friar", who sought Robin Hood, but refused to believe Daffy Duck was the legendary outlaw. At the end of the cartoon, Daffy becomes "Friar Duck".
Note from the films wiki page:
Note the following info from the wiki page of Mel Blanc:
Melvin Jerome Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989)
TODAY is May 30th... Blanc’s birthday!!  Another addition to the “Timely” pattern-cluster.   And now note the following info on the only “Dick” who played a part in Robin Hood Daffy:
Richard "Dick" Thompson (26 August 1914 – 12 June 1998) 
Again, June 12 crops up... the birthday of my step granddaughter!? Note from my post, Me Too # (part 3):
  • Omar Mir Seddique (November 16, 1986 – June 12, 2016)
And note his surname ... a cryptic “said/sad dick”!!  A “June 12(x3)” pattern-cluster, an addition to the “Targeting Family Birthday’s” pattern-cluster... and  another cryptic finger pointing also in the direction of my stepson, Gillman Payette.   Dick’s surname, Thompson, in origin was “Thomas Son”, meaningful given that the name Thomas means “twin” in origin, an addition to the “Twin Theme” pattern-cluster!!  And now note the following excerpt from the animations wiki page:
directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese
And from their wiki pages:
  • Charles Martin "ChuckJones (September 21, 1912 – February 22, 2002) 
  • Michael Maltese (February 6, 1908 – February 22, 1981) 
Of course I already knew that they died on the same day, February 22, note the following excerpt from this blogs Header:
The Producer, Director and Writer of Warner Brothers. animated cartoon "My Little Duckaroo" died on February 22nd: Jones in 2002; Selzer In 1970, Maltese in 1981. In a little over "5" years from now the anniversary of their death is 2/22/22
As well, the birthday of my grandson is February 22, so another addition to the “Targeting Family Birthday’s” pattern-cluster.
