    Good morning™, everyone!

    I like the custom license plate, but I’m not sure why the 7. Like James Bond 007?

    Ms. Libris would rather spend money on books than on extra staff, I assume.

    I was forced to take a one day break from my self imposed comment blackout due to the jaw dropping, leg tingling, eye twitching, teapot steaming “I WANT YOU” tension between these two loved starved lost souls!

    This is hotter than disco goat night at Gweedo’s farm.

    This is more intense than Firestrike’s most powerful SBD’s!

    This concludes my brief return.

    I’m thinking that she is the mastermind and that she has a goon doing the dirty work!

    Good morning™, meeting of “heads of state” !

    Two powerful forces converge. Will we be seeing the result of when an irresistible force meets an immovable object ?  Good night scape scene and an up view of Tracy.

    In chronological order, the seventh MCU movie was Iron Man 3.

    She seems to me pretty much unique in the history of this comic strip. Is she a villain? She is unique enough (I know, I know… there are no “degrees of uniqueness.”) to be one of his weirdly exceptional adversaries. Do I love her? As a character, yes. But as a real person? We shall see.

    So anyone complaining about Shelley’s depiction of Madam today?

    A great many Curly impressions to be had today.

    Ah…a vanity plate for MCU. I suppose Sam’s vehicle is MCU-6. Liz has MCU-5. Lee got MCU-4. Chief Patton got the number one spot.

    Next step, Tracy gets a tour of the house. Her library will probably blow his mind.

    I still have hope, although it’s fading, that X. Libris will not turn out to be the villain.

    She set up Tracy’s appointment a couple days ago, in front of a witness. And (hopefully) she’s too smart to think he came out to the mansion without telling anyone where he was going. So there is no need for murder on her mind, and she’s had two days to hide any stolen goodies in her library…

    In which case I’m wondering why she needed to give the staff the night off. A home the size of the NY Museum of Natural History doesn’t clean itself.

    Dunno what’s going on with people’s eyeglasses in this arc, but today X’s specs lose an earpiece in panel 2 which reappears in panel 3. Any more of these optometrical illusions (see also 10/7, 10/11) and Tracy’s gonna think he’s the one who needs glasses!

    Apparently, like MOST of the Tracyverse, Xaviera only has one outfit—that’s how she affords such a swanky joint

    I note that X’s cold exterior has caused her glasses to fog up in panel 2.

    when Lincoln was president you could walk up to the white house and knock on the door, no fences or guards, and if he were home, Lincoln answered the door himself

    “Small staff” – Fire’s not going to say anything about that?

    Or maybe she just has a bunch of Oompa Loompas.

    Of course she’s there all by herself. Can’t have the servants witnessing her latest felony. She vants to be alone——but not in a Greta Garbo way.

    Most people see that house and think—“I want to be her”Tracy thinks—“Did she earn t his, or steal it?”

    Given his name. He just might be sensitive about her commenting on a small staff. I’m just saying.

    Ah, “priorities”!

    At any rate, we were correct to surmise yesterday that what we were seeing was Tracy driving up to the Tracyville mansion of X. Libris.

    And here today, she herself, in her standard grey business suit, opens the big front door for the Chief of Detectives and Head of the Major Crimes Unit, Richard Tracy.

    “Welcome to my web, said the spider to the fly”?

    At this point, my reading is that we have spent so much time building up Xaviera Libris, and having apparent clues pointing to her as a villain, that either she is guilty herself of the multiple book/manuscript-related murders or that she can somehow provide Tracy with a crime-busting clue to who is.

    Wait and see.

    Sip some poisoned tea, detective?
