Silly Me !!! In the first panel the balloon pointer looked a little vague like it was the boy addressing Jr. by his name. I was thinking what an awesome casual home atmosphere.
I hope they roughed up the guy up that killed officer Cigo. I am guessing the dog was more tough than he looked and got the shooter into a panic .. and then some people just like shooting moving targets.
Just occurred to me: BB killed a cop in the original story and left it at Tracy’s door with an handwritten note. Tracy says “The handwriting is BB’s” (never mind how he knew). Isn’t that proof enough?
I think they might be too late to save poor Gypsy and their only chance of getting BB Eyes will be to get Warbucks to tell the whereabouts of his estranged second wife. I think this summer mystery has a ways to go before it gets wrapped up.
And here I thought that, during slow periods, the Police Dpt. would have it’s staff look through old, cold cases, for possible clues they may have missed.
Honeymoon; didn’t your grandfather give you that Wrist Wizard for emergencies? I don’t think telling him that you now where his witness is, constitutes an emergency.
DOUBLEUP (watching a TV re-enactment of the last panel aired as part of a show abut the case aired several months later): I love it when they say that. Say that!
4- WOMAN: It’s Fathers Day and I’m telling you this kid is yours. JUNIOR: I’m not seeing it… 5- BLONDIE: Happy Fathers Day Dad! JUNIOR: Damn. Another one… 6- BLONDIE: I know you’ve been a lousy father and… 7- …you never supported me in any way but I wanted to buy you a gift anyway… 8- It’s a Fit Bit! And it says I need to take ten thousand steps away from you you Archie-comic looking useless bum! Don’t call me, I’ll call you – NEVER.
Off course Junior’s eyes are like that, it’s a crossover. I’m surprised Sandy wasn’t the poor deceased canine in First Responders. BTW, if Gypsy Rose Lee married Ben-Gay would she become Gypsy Gay?.
Maybe there is some hope for Gypsy Gay! —Thanks to ever-alert Honeymoon Tracy! That last panel is classic, and Honeymoon is getting in on the act. Now, Pop-Pop has to snap-snap and get cracking, before B-B Eyes’ crew of killers makes her testimony disappear, along with her body, just like (?) Trixie Tinkle-Warbucks (or is Daddy holding out on some portentous secret?)….
Rereading today’s strip, Jr. says he had the usual sort of jobs, but there was “one job for Tracy.” Assuming he means that his job is still drawing pictures of people from witness descriptions, who gave Tracy a description of Gypsy? They are tying to locate her by name, not what she looks like.

The race is on. Before the dawn, Gypsy may be found
Danger near. It remains clear that trouble’s coming ‘round.
Brock discovers. B-B hovers. Tie up all loose ends
Gypsy like a lamb to slaughter. Unbeknownst, has friends.
Junior home. No more to roam until the sun does rise
Tells Sparkle of his work day. Now Honeymoon is wise.
Danger near! To her it’s clear that Gypsy must be found
Let Tracy know. He must now go ‘fore death does come around.

Good morning™, detectives-to-be!
… and Honeymoon springs into action with a hot tip for her grandfather. If he acts fast enough, he could get to Gypsy before Jackal’s men do.

The highlight of today
I suppose you’re gonna say
Is to read moonshine calling Pop Pop
I cannot tell a lie
I’m left to wonder why
I continue to avoid using a mop
To rid myself of stress
The strips no longer the best
I guess I’ll read until I drop

Do the Wrist-Wizards™use an unscrambled open police frequency? The media monitors those channels in some small towns for breaking news.

If this is the murder in question, since the cop was presumably killed in BB’s lair, and how could Trixie have witnessed it?

Since when does Junior have “Little Orphan Annie” style eyes? That doesn’t seem right.

I know the wrist radio is standard tracy gear, but wow are they in for a shock when smart phones show up.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.
To all dads here, HAPPY DADS DAY!

Wonder if Tracy will say, when Honeymoon tells him what she knows, “Out of the mouths of babes…”?
Isn’t Honeymoon rather young to be wearing that kind of shoulder-baring top?
