    Be careful~!!

    Blackjack may end up getting KOed and framed for arson.

    The mystery hides in the stillness

    Fear moves around like a slice of cinnamon swirl bread

    Oh my Lord, the shadow of darkness seems within my grasp

    I approach the monster with eyes wide open

    The blurry vision between heros and villains

    No prescription can ever refine

    To run or to stay explosions on the brain

    Regrettably the decision’s already been made.

    I had originally put yesterday’s strip as the climax of the story in my storyline map (http://worldofdt.info/banksoplenty/) but I decided at the last minute to remove that label.

    While yesterday was an important turning point in the story, it was really only the beginning of the climactic scene. The climax certainly continues today as Blackjack goes more deeply into the smoke and the burning building while his helpers get people out

    Blackjack’s a Bad Guy, but he’s not a BAD bad guy…He puts the Gentleman in Gentleman Thief.

    Blackjack has a soft stop for more than Sparkle and her family.

    As that guy said in Wreck-it Ralph, “Just because you are badguy doesn’t mean you are BAD GUY!”

    One possible storyline: Blackjack is injured while saving someone, then hospitalized and arrested. Tracy and Sparkle are character witnesses at Blackjack’s trial.

    Is there some kind of backstory on Black Jack? He’s clearly a Robin Hood, good guy at heart, kinda guy. What’s the deal?

    Blackjack, the thief with a heart made of gold

    youll amount to nothing is all he was told

    he robbing of banks to which he’s resorted

    his crimes to the FBI are reported

    Tho brandishing a gun as he steals from the rich

    no harm to the innocent is his one wish

    A fan of Tracy and kin it is known

    his collection to Sparkle, it has been shown

    Saved Tracy from death at the hands of Kavader

    our hero turns a blind eye, ignoring the matter

    a previous robbery had gone aborted

    harmed not hide nor hair but my eyes they were covered

    no view from his lair would be discovered

    the collection was signed, then posed for a selfie

    more toys therein than Santa and elfies

    Tracy warns Hickman your bank is a target

    The stakeout begins, room small as a closet

    where theres smoke theres fire on that you can bet

    But Blackjack tells civilians, outside you must get

    Tracy and Sam burst thru the door

    While Blackjack goes in search for some more

    The suspense is terrific.

    What will our quixotic heroic villain find as he makes his way deeper into the burning bank? Will he be blackjacked by a hidden Hickman? Will he find Hickman down and raise him to life anew, as a convict? Will Blackjack be confronted by an armed Frankie-boy and finally have to use his tommy-gun “for real”?

    Is the Fire Department on the scene yet?

    What are Sam and Tracy doing to help Blackjack’s gang with the evacuation(!)?

    This is going to be a hot week in Tracyville!

    Let me guess. BlackJack catches Hickman trying to destroy incriminating evidence. Tracy rushes in & catches everyone red-handed, & decides to let BlackJack go in thanks for catching Hickman. Maybe this story will be wrapped up this week & we’ll see Ugly Christine.

    SAM’S SCHOOL FOR SUPERVILLAINS – New York, Chicago, Fresno – Lesson #43: Not Cut Out For It.We normally don’t even have to teach such strategies as grab-n-go (even if there is a fire) to the determined student. This poor guy above would have to learn such things. By his actions, he has shown that, try as he might, he’s just not supervillain material. Much as it pains us to say this, he really needs to look into joining the police academy. (No wonder his henchmen are wearing full-face masks… they’re probably embarassed.)

    I am but a simple man. If Blackjack’s robbing a bank, the scene hasn’t ended, and no mention of Tubthumping having stopped (even though there’s been no explicit mention of it having started) I assume Tubthumping is still playing in the background:
