    Nicely drawn hands today (albeit without fingernails).

    The story? Not so much. I agree with Pops in panel two - he appears to be yawning and falling asleep.

    Oh, my goodness! Those hands *do* look good! What happened!?

    I mean, besides *IT* happening.

    Marguerite, I hope you don’t mind if I add that pig pic to my Pig-On-Wheels blog post?

    Flight Suit, not at all. I got it off of Google. BTW, your pig-on-wheels was there, too.

    Well I sure hope you don’t mind, ‘cause I’ve already done it:

    Which now means you hold the distinction of being one of only three GoComics users who’ve been credited in one of my blog posts.

    Marg, I just saw your reply. It hadn’t been showing up before.

    That’s great news about my Google ranking! Now I’ll get tons of traffic from the millions of people out there searching for pigs on wheels!

    So Marg, how the heck do you embed an image in a post here? I know how to do that on other message boards, but here? I haven’t a clue.

    If these two are making so much noise, why hasn’t someone knocked on the door to see what’s up? Oh, there is no door. There is no back round art. Hasn’t been for days. Since when does Tracy handle domestic disturbances? What happened to the crooks who bought the real strad? What is there sinister plan? Will we ever see them again?

    I just can’t wait to hear why they are calling Tracy in to investigate a domestic disturbance. I can only think that since this is one of the most dangerous assignments for a cop, they see this as a way to get rid of some deadwood (or at least comatosewood). Sydney said that it would take a week of backtracking to explain this. Bring it on! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait!

    Philip Harmonic is an awful parent, not letting young Phil pursue his muse. I dare say Roy Dotrice’s portrayal of Leopold Mozart showed better parenthood.

    Oh mighty pig on wheels save us please!!!

    Let’s replace this with a pig on wheels strip! It can’t be any worse than this and is probably 100 timesbetter.

    Wonder if the patrol will get there any faster than they did when Tracy was in the tiger cage?

    Sonny boy stood rooted to his tracks For daddy was having another of his attacks This one gave him quite a particular thrill For he heard his father utter that magic word, “kill” Tracy was at home, his hard day done And he was looking forward to a little “fun” To Tess it had become such a bore She just referred to it now as “the chore” What excuse could she use tonight Would nothing save her from her plight She felt her wishes must have been heard Because the plot was becoming more absurd A domestic call came for the great detective They could have used someone more effective Such a piddling matter so it would seem For a man of who is in such high esteem But his luster I fear is getting worn His days are becoming more forlorn I am sure in his heart he knows how we feels As we clamor for the “Pig on Wheels”. And thanks to Merrymarg and Flight Suit too We now have a pig that we can view

    “A ’continuation’ of last Sunday” ?

    OK ! Let’s try to rephrase it for him (and you) - Let’s call it an incremental nudge, but really just a further STALL ! ? I’m stunned by the speed (or lack thereof) of the coversation. What will it take to get Dick “moving” ? (not to mention Locher off the commode) Stay tuned well into next week.

    In the meantime, why “cramp” free flow comment with imposition of meticulous exactitude

    You seem to enjoy pedantry !

    marge Just HOW do you do that IMAGE? . No secrets from your friends now.

    If nothing else, tell me “exactly” where to “find” it

    If you’re so inclined send info to: sydney@tstt.net.tt
