    SO much going on here…Does Bribery know T-Bolt’s secret (if there really is one)? What are his plans for Diet? Do Melies, Venus, & Apollo have a scheme? And what about Mumbles (and his cohorts) .It just goes on & on, and I love EVERY MINUTE OF IT! We obviously don’t know how long this will last, but my wish is that at some point Tracy & Bribery will actually come face-to-face! Some of the greatest scenes in years past were when Tracy actually confronted the crooks he was hunting down – Bribery (Tracy smashing through the window with an air car), Jockie Lyceum (the Brush) – caught after a long helicopter/van chase, the often lately-mentioned Little Notting (Ace of Spades from the 52 Gang), knocked out by Tracy in the 1st Space Coupe story….And on & on! No matter what, I’ll love this story!

    That helicopter has been introduced for a reason, as has Apollo’s 50mm Pistol.

    T- Lee entered Mr. Biggs roomAware this trip might spell her doomShe wouldn’t go down without a fightBut she knew the day might not end rightWho knows what zanniness he had in storeShe certainly had no clue what was behind the doorWhen Bigg decided your time was upYour severance package was a painful bitter cupYet to her surprise the room revealedA multitude of bars that definitely weren’t steelThat this Daffy Duck was euphorially pleased with himselfMight just give her the chance to call for some helpPerhaps when his head was at a fourty degree slantShe could slip out before they discovered the plantHopefully Blaze had already gone outT-Lee didn’t have time for her woe is me poutLet someone else role play for her Dr. PhilT-Lee didn’t want to pay a permanent bill.

    Maybe we’ll cut away to Mysta or Tracy tomorrow.

    So, judging by the gasp, neither T-Bolt nor her alter ego (if she has one), was aware of the gold Mr. B had stashed behind a locked door.

    If Mr. B intends to escape tonight, Tracy had better get there soon!

    Lee-Bolt better not look TOO shocked, or else Mr. Bribery/Bigg may get suspicious.

    Suddenly, things are rushing toward dramatic moments of change. If T-Bolt is Lee Ebony (or any other LEO), will she break cover to communicate with Tracy and attempt to prevent Mr. Bigg’s exit and that of the gold bullion? Will the Méliès faction throw a spaniard in the works? What life-changing choice will Blaze Rize make? Can the MCU mobilize its resources in time to foil the flight of the weird one?As in Real Life, things may concatenate before anyone is completely ready….

    Can a helicopter lift the weight of that much gold?

    He never said it was going in the helicopter…I wonder if our teen detectives will see the gold being wheeled out to a vehicle?

    When was it ever suggested that T-Bolt was Lee Ebony? Oh I know why..because there can only be ONE BLACK FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE STRIP!!!

    At this moment, I am of the mind to think that T-Bolt is “like Blaze” (since blaze said she knew who T-Bolt was way back at the beginning…about 76 months ago) and that she will probably “lift some of the gold” before it gets melted and give it to Blaze so she can get back to her “normal life”.

    I can see T-Bolt going down at the end of this story much like May Dy/Grace Jones did in the 007 flick…a hand cart into a gold mine followed by an explosion..yet no trace of a body leading future appearances open (she would make a good addition to Abner’s team!)

    ‘Look-a-those’ Lips, her Mouth in panel 2 . . .A Pucker Puss 2 ! Almost seems today, like a female reincarnation . . .

    Poor Lee, she hasn’t got the height, the fight or the bite !

    And I tell you, it would be hard to Lizz’s lips disguised in a manner that looks like it’s connected to her nose.

    You got to think this is a unique character with extraordinary skills in her own right, and easy to see - taller than most men around her !About the right height for (say) a mouth gun, to take out that bulging right eye of Méliés’ . . .Gruesome perhaps, but makes for dramatic Staton art !

    Hope she survives to return another day !

    The current story is great….will Blaze join up with Honey and Annie to throw a monkey wrench into the heli-escape along with T-Bolt botching Mr Biggs plans of melting down the Gold???

    Looks like Tracy last appeared (in shadow) in the Fourth of July strip. What’s the record for most days between Dick Tracy appearances in his own strip? :)

    Has anyone mentioned that, say, at about $1000 per toz, that a billion buck’s in gold would work out to about 40 tons? (unless I goofed my math again)

    Yes, yes; “spanner,” not “spaniard.” I think I may have been having visions of Monty Python late last night (early this morning, to be technically correct) when I wrote. Or maybe of John Lennon….
