The White Stripes song title reminds me of the recent death (April 5th) of Dale (Dalia) Messick, the woman who created Brenda Starr (star reporter). From the NYTimes obit:
"She found time for romance with her mystery man, Basil St. John, a lean, square-jawed hunk who wore an eye patch and whose only other defect was that he was dying of an exotic disease. This frequently sent him to the jungle in search of a rare black orchid whose serum gave him temporary respite. While he was away, Brenda had more suitors than Penelope, but she remained loyal to her true love. Brenda finally married Basil in 1976, whereupon he vanished again on another orchid hunt."

But that's a BLACK orchid. Very different, I suppose.
