Transcript:
Calvin: I'd planned to take the day off and spend time with a couple of buddies. My buddies travel light and they're fun to have around. One travels in a holster, and the other in a hip flask. My name is Bullet. Tracer Bullet. What people call me is something else again. I'm a private eye. It says so on my door. The last thing I wanted this morning was a case to solve, but the dame who brought it was persuasive. Most dames are, somehow. Miss Wormwood: Get to work, Calvin. Calvin: I told her it would cost her fifty greenbacks a day, plus expenses.

I picture if these strips were in animation, the “Tracer Bullet” imagination sequences would be in black-and-white for the classic film noir look, compared to Calvin’s reality being in color. Also in those fantasy sequences, Tracer Bullet would speak in a Humphrey Bogart voice, while in reality the inner monologues are spoken in Calvin’s normal voice.
