I would guess that Tracy was being safe in his pursuit of Putty Puss Not many places to hide in a narrow hallway. By the time he got to the street exit PP had already gotten into the car and gotten away.The “Harley Niav” that was sitting next to Christmas Early is in big trouble. I think that the charges are going to go against him more than the station. It looks like it may not be Shawntae after all. Can’t wait to find out what Tracy is going to do next!Sam didn’t waste any time getting to the scene. He was watching the show from home last we saw him.
Tracy’s not putting the cuffs on Christmas? And if “Niav” is the private guard, what did Putty Puss do to him that has prevented him from speaking out? And what about Shawntae, Raelene, and Ed?
If that’s the prison guard in disguise, what happened to Shawntae? Why would a prison guard get involved with this crazy scheme — unless he was working with Putty Puss all along…
What if the prison guard really is Putty Puss, who’s now pretending to be the guard while pretending to be Niav? If he has a credible explanation for why he didn’t speak up in his role as the guard/Niav, then he’s not only made an escape but thrown the MCS off his trail. I’d check the prison and make sure they aren’t short two prisoners.
If working Sudoku puzzles makes you smarter, this plot will make us all geniuses in the next couple of weeks. I can already visualize in six dimensions. Only five more and I’ll be able to understand String Theory.
Wouldnt it be a kick if the silent guard turned out to be mumbles! tho i am laying odds that putty puss used some sort of epoxy/glue to keep the guard’s mouth closed, notice how he is clutching at his throat
So “Flattop” is really Putty Puss, and “Harley Niav” is really the security guard, and… “Christmas Early” turns out to be Captain Victorious, and “Dick Tracy” turns out to be ghost-written by “Ink Pen” this month.
Y’know, I thought I had a pretty good handle on this story.But —Arresting Christmas Early?I doubt if she was behind the TV show/escape plot. (It was planned by Mr. Crime. Or Mr. Coffee. Or…)And if the guard is “Harley” – where’s Shawntae?(He’s tied up and stuffed in a closet, right?)Here I thought the guard would turn out to be Putty Puss’ flunkey, Nod, who ditched his uniform, gave Harley his .38, and scrammed.Awright, Sherlock – I mean, Tracy – start makin’ with the explanations!

Don’t fret my pretties, soon all will be clear. -Thanks for an interesting and complex plot Mr. Curtis. I’m eager to read tomorrow’s strip.

I would assume, Christmas Early had to post some sorta bound for Putty Face. Placing him in her “custody”, hence the charges.

OK, if the guard is innocent and can’t speak, why would he smile and sit calmly while all this happened?
