Good Evening All! (written @ 10:21pm Pacific) I like the Scarlet Sting’s car! Classic 60’s style crime fighting vehicle. Hmm.. colorist is still giving DoubleUp’s flunky grey hair. Maybe working for DoubleUp aged him prematurely. I wonder if Haku is on leave because of a liver condition, it would explain his jaundiced color.
A gold star for whoever can tell me the character in my avatar. I figure she deserved to be my Tracy avatar, since she and her partner (also female) protect Chicago from the bad guys. Like Tracy she likes finishing her assignment with lots of gunfights, car chases, and explosions. You can start the Jeopardy theme music now.
By the way, this strip has come so far in such a short period of time…first class all the way and a real tribute to the creative talents of the writers. Kudos all around
good potential villain, I was mentally guessing Doubletalk, but this is good. I hope the arc lasts a little longer than the first two. It is great to see interesting crative villains, this is two in a row, use them wisely
Sorry, this story will be the same length as the first two, as we didn’t get the all clear for longer tales until this week, which will go into effect with story 4. But there’s lots of action ahead in this one….
@Tarry: Been a fan of the Cats since before the mangas and anime were translated (see their appearance in Giant Shanda Animal #2 in the late 90s that I scripted)… Great video! :D
I believe that Haku came out years ago in an old Gould stripwith some villain named Big H and his stooge Flyface.I recall something about a tape-recorder in the form of a tiki that Haku had when he was a detective in disguise.

He should try decaf. try decaf. This will get silly and annoying. Silly and annoying.

I think it is a cross between these two.

Nice (so to speak) reference to an earlier arc in panel #2.

Tracy knows lots of people in law enforcement. Has Haku appeared in the striip before? He doesn’t look like a Chester Gould original. Is he new?
And most names mean something in this strip. What does Haku mean?

Haku Kou appeared in the original adventure of Flyface and the Fifth, back in 59-60. He was working undercover and they believed him a criminal.

Mystique, cool, great art work and a crime mystery all in one!

So when did George Barris become part of the team? Nice car design.

I think DoubleUp bears a striking resemblance to Paulie Walnuts from ‘The Sopranos’.

Wasn’t the real life Honolulu police chief, Dan Liu, a character in the strip many years ago?

He was a direct descendant of his nephew I believe! At any rate the strip is wonderful!

Is that dagwood’s cousin in the 3rd panel?

Good Afternoon all! DoubleUp would make a great public official with all the doublespeak!

Good to see Tracy returning to his roots in story and art.

I still like DoubleTake…. movies are shot in “takes” of each scene, and this guy “takes” what he wants… a double meaning!

… and my European-Brain tends to pronounce “Doubleup” as “du-BLOYP.”
