    FLIGHT SUIT  almost 15 years ago

    Yet again we see an example of how the badge and uniform of the Naperville PD are in constant flux! In the previous story arc, these guys weren’t wearing open-collared shirts or Nazi fetish hats, and the badges on the fronts of their hats were shaped like butterflies or hand grenades. Today it looks like maybe a….

    I don’t know what that badge looks like…

    Maybe a snail with his eye-stalks extended?

    Of a frontal view of the hero’s ship from “Battle Beyond the Stars?”

    “…Nazi Fetish hats…” That’s exactly what they look like.

    Oh, who could that mystery voice belong to?

    Prediction time:

    “What’s going on here?” Leads me to believe that the Kambastanian ambassador is about to ID Virgil for us, and explain that he’s a bitter Kambastanian who’d been exiled for illegally trafficking in The Forbidden Fondu.

    (Certain types of fondu, you see, are outlawed, but highly coveted in Kambastan, for their aphrodisiac and psychedelic qualities.)

    What can I say that has not already been said Sonny boy lies still and is apparently dead Low Note is gone, having left from the scene For all appearances it’s as if he had never been Pops it would seem is picking at nits He is subdued now, not having his fits Siegfried looks spiffy in his hat with the badge It’s an interesting design, kinda looks like a But Tracy is stymied, lost without a clue As to the identity of the man that he just slew A bomb, a gun fight, it’s a night of cheap thrills There are more goings on than Carter has pills Maybe soon there will be some kind of exposition Then Tracy can get on with his next mission.

    Ok folks I’m gonna try my hand at this …

    It seems that its time to bid poor Jr adieu, he yelled for the cops and the bullets they flew Over his corpse Papa is now weeping

    we’d like to know Virgil’s fate but apparently theres no peeking so we’ll keep on hoping for the explanation we have been seeking.

    Cops in tall hats will soon haul victims away so we’ll stick with this story for one more day.

    my apology to poets if my verse has been bad but Providence J Ogden was the only teacher i’v had

    Gweedo, Just when you think this yellow “rubber duckie” story is DEAD,….

    Tracy’s now back home and the TELEPHONE “rings” to start a new tale (?) ALL it IS, is the start of “Chapter 13” of the same lame Harmonic musical theme.

    Guessing here, it’s ”PAUSE PERIOD,” to give Author “Dicky” more time to “figure out” what his next story will be all about.

    Suspect he’s not very well focused these days ! (?)

    What happened to the two ambulances Tracy asked for? Has anyone checked junior’s pulse? Is he still breathing? Maybe there’s still hope for him.

    What paramedic? I think they ignored Tracy’s wrist genie call for assistance.
