So, the police have four of them “in the bag”, but I said yesterday that the status of Yeti was unknown, and it remains unknown, but the possibility of his having a “back way” to escape via is looking more likely.
So far, it seems that Ape was hit in the arm, but I think it might take quite a bit of poison to really bring him down, he’s so big.
YAY!!!!! FERRET AND APE LIVE!!!!! I’m sure they can plea bargain their way to a reduced prison sentence. And hopefully, they’ll have pancakes in prison for Ape. All the pancakes he can eat! :D
Looks like the one that got away. Panel 2 is a perfect illustration of “crime doesn’t pay”. They look pretty defeated if at least relieved to be alive.
Nice touch having Ferret give Ape her little Red Riding Hood cape.(Unless that’s a rag and her cape magically disappeared)
Funny how Tracy’s the only one whose breath isn’t white-ish.
On the 8th Ape either turns around in the 2nd panel or the darts changed direction. Irregardless he should have been shot in the back of his arm, not the front as shown today.
Yeti’s worn out his welcome in Tracyville. He’s gotta go.
Stormtroopers. Nothing but stupid stormtroopers. All Tracy had to do was stand and wait until they ran out of ammo, and then pull a gun on them. And they still manage to lose the one guy with the weak-ass weapon.
The fate of Yeti appears ambiguous, like the many past escapes of Abner Kadaver. Notice in the last panel that Sam says, “This is quite a haul! We even got Yet…” and the dialogue halts before he finishes Yeti’s name.
But what do they actually have on any of these folks? Even if the shoe print puts Rose at the scene of the murder, is that enough to prove she did it? Ferret and Ape might be persuaded to talk about Yeti’s activities, and Daisy too, because Yeti abandoned Daisy before. And, of course, all this shooting happened in the presence of Tracy and Sam. But I wish Mark had been given time to develop the actual case against them.
“This is quite a haul! We even got Yet…” Really Sam…aren’t you counting the chicken before it hatched? Unless Yeti is in handcuffs and leg irons….yawl don’t have him.
You all have shown me the light. You want my backups, so I see the Ape "N’ Ferret Detective Agency, with a ghostly investigator in the indistinct form of Rabbit
So, my question is, is that a mere erroneous typographical omission of the final “i” in panel 3 (Sam’s speech balloon), or is it intentional, expressing Sam’s wonderment that Yeti is not there after all?
Did Yeti escape out some “back door”? Or is his bullet-riddled body lying there behind the workbench/table/desk? My guess is that Yeti did escape, unfortunately.
Meanwhile, , Tracy communicates over his Wrist Wizard, while holding Rose and Daisy (panel 1), and two uniforms hold the soulful duet of Ferret (looking good today) and pitiable, wounded Ape, using her cloak as a bandage (panel 2)….

For all that shooting, Yeti only nicked Ape. Assuming he’s as okay as he looks, the poison’s not even that good.

What a waste of bullets! Rose needs more practice in handling her gun. She was shooting at the table instead of Yeti.

So ALL those bullets flying, and no one was hit, except the Ape in his arm? Is Yeti gone, or GONE?

FYI: I added an AltTake to yesterday’s strip for continuity’s sake for anyone who’s interested. What? I hear crickets chirping…?
1-DT: 2 minutes! One of my best wrap-ups! HEY TOULOUSE LAUTREC! WADDLE OVER HERE SO I CAN CUFF YOU! DAISY: That’s so cruel!
2-FERRET: Shouldn’t you be dead by now, Ape?
APE: No way. I have too much to live for! Like being a member of the best gang in town! FERRET: Read the room, dummy.
3-SAM: IKEA won’t be taking that desk back for store credit! COME OUT AL AND YOU WON’T GET HURT!
AL: Al’s not here. He went down the tunnel.
SAM: OH NO! AL ESCAPED AGAIN, TRACY! DT: DANG IT!
AL: Yep. You’ll never get him. Nice try this time though.
SAM: Thanks, uh, Talking Desk?

And Rose has that dominatrix look down pat in that red outfit.
