Speaking of arms, check out panel 2. Impressive square shoulder on Tracy. Where’s his elbow? Kinda close to his shoulder joint. Locher must be a student of Pablo Picasso. And looks like I was right - one of those bullets did cut off his fingers.
OK, so Johnny will trip, fall down the stairs, and either be: out cold, hurt, or have his mask knocked off by the fall, or a combination…(not sure where the stairs came from, but hey…we go with it!) and then Tracy will get his answers, leaving we the readers with a few questions.
I’m having a tough time understanding what Tracy could be hiding behind that’s suspended 3 steps down some stairs. Again, I invoke my TARDIS Technology Theory for the Science Museum!
I can’t figure out how the Blank is still in one piece. This started in a room full of cops, and not one bothered to challenge him when it became apparent that he wasn’t shooting blanks?
In real life, assuming it ever got this far, he would have been challenged and told to drop his gun. If he didn’t, and insisted on continued firing, the police would have opened fire on him and at that range, he’d have been shot to doll rags. Even suburban police can figure this out.
And the only cop thats acting will will now continue running … so tomorrow you won’t be seeing the “long arm” of the Law …
What you’ll see are the extraordinary ‘SHORT ARMS’ of Nancy Palosi (panel 2).
Don’t you know Mattie is sitting on the edge of his chair in a soggy pair of Dick Tracy undies saying over and over, “Sheer genius! Sheer genius!” And his sidekick, Jeffey, drools.
morrow, You’re treading on dangerous ground. “Big L” must be off today.
I’ve come to the conclusion that their expressions are driven not by the ‘quality’ of work but by an over abundance of misguided ideas on the need to defend (and not offend), a ‘friend”. Cost it what it may. If correct, in my books that’s disingenuous
When a goof occurs, it’s like Downwind Jackson looking the ‘other. way

Boy, the Science Museum is a vast building! Where are all the police when you need them?

OMG, Tracy actually did something smart and useful in the third panel!
More interestingly, in panel one, we see that Nothing’s right arm has gone from being freakishly short to freakishly long.
Which, I suppose, is why he’s switched the gun to his left hand. Hard to aim when your arm’s length is in a constant state of flux.

I can’t believe it! Tracy did something!

Wait a minute! Are we sure that’s Tracy’s foot?

Yes. It has been getting larger every day. The police are in the audience waiting for the show to resume.

The Blank has put on some weight.

Tracy seems about to deliver the old, ‘one-two’. We’ve got the ’one’ but what happens to the ’TWO’ ?
TOO ’old’ to cut the mustard anymore ?

Pannel 1 : - long coat !
Pannel 2 : - no coat, (a jacket perhaps?)
Still can’t figure out HOW the Blank ‘pinched’ a STAGE gun with ‘blanks’ and it fired real bullets ?

Where are Tracy’s ELBOWS ?
He’s leaning against the wall, and the right one looks as if it’s opposite his arm pit
**Impressive Art and Storyline ! A Tribute to Gould and all that. This might pull in a Reuben Award !

I wonder if the Blank had/has an exit plan? Shoot the guy onstage, then give up and confess, “Because he killed my grandfather”?
At least the plot is well-thought out. Yep, no holes here. Tight as a drum.

It looks as if the Blank or Johnny Nothing or whatever the heck his name is is trying to Riverdance down the stairs in panel 3.
Note to DL: Glad you brought back the chase. Problem: Tracy is supposed to be doing the chasing.
fishbulb over 14 years ago
Uh, shouldn’t Tracy be trying to summon help for the guy bleeding on stage in case he’s STILL ALIVE?
