    SUPER OIL? Where did they come from? How could she have gone to another oil company in the time allotted? Were these oil companies in Naperville? The door to the house was off it’s hinges ON THE OUTSIDE of the house, and she’s opening a door she said was open when approaching the house. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t Tracy carry a gun. That way he could take her prisoner and not attack without warning. Will anyone from the 911 call show up? This strip is.. ah, screw it.

    Big Oil to Major Oil to Super Oil in a matter of moments. Wow!

    Something tells me Angelawfulness is not going to have much of a nose after this. It’ll match her malformed hands.

    Meanwhile Nubby is napping on the floor.

    at least every time Locher changes the name of the oil company he changes the person at the big desk.

    Well! Now, “Nol-listerine”! She would’ve been all ready to go, pity she dropped her electric toothbrush. But it may serve to burn off Tartar and remove unwanted nostril hair, while at the same time smelling of “Dick” cologne An earlier event that comes to mind, is Tracy hitting Influence (1946) across the eyes with a chain to break his powerful hypnotic lenses. These acts are ethically questionable and reminds of Diet’s experimental device, one which (used with Tracy’s OK) electronically “zapped” and killed Cellphone (2005) and likewise a puzzling restraint, an “inaction” in 2008 by Tracy and a heavily armed SWAT team to shoot Baskerville’s savage dogs which turned on him and which were about to rip him to death. They did!

    Grok’s absolutely right. This is an insult to the police profession and worst of all, is a bad example to present to kids. Naperville better have plenty of money (or insurance), because Anthraxilous is about to become a very wealthy lady, along with her ACLU lawyer. And Tracy will get his 3-squares from the state for a long time.

    Oilman really busy twiddling his fingers with an empty desk. That’s how Exxon Mobil makes $50Billion in profit every quarter. Keeping their execs ready and waiting for a scam from w whack job perfume lady.

    HankF, while I agree that some of our family members over here go overboard with their negative comments, most of the points are valid. For example, in yesterdays strip Angelorious has her hand on the door while in today’s she’s holding the doorknob. Normally I wouldn’t waste my time commenting on a mistake like this although that’s something that DL should take more care about. The fact that it’s only a comic strip doesn’t excuse the lack of consistency.

    Just one man’s opinion.

    Peace.

    BB

    Yesterday, we learned that Tracy will draft civilians to participate in unnecessarily dangerous police work…….. The acid-hurling cowards of the Taliban would love this guy……. A fellow commenter recently (and accurately) called Dick Locher’s version of Dick Tracy “an insult to policemen everywhere;”…….

    Absolutely Grok; Tracy just committed felonious assault with intent to maim and should get a minimum of 20 years. Morrow, you are absolutely correct too, it’s MAJOR lawsuit time!

    BB, ok, I am now informed as to those annoying and pesky Gungans….but the question on everybody’s mind (ok, MY mind!) is how do the OTHER residents of Naboo spell ‘genius’?

    Did Tracy dash the gas formula or the perfume into Angy’s face?

    I don’t blame him, she’s carrying a9mm, fair trade?
