    Good morning all…

    I survived the ‘storm of the century’ but it was a mental and physical strain for an old man!

    Panda’s gotta be nuts to shoot it out with DT and the MCU. Hey, Team Tracy is certainly making us sweat to see what happened with Mumbles and Leonard. I love this strip a lot!!!

    Uh-oh, Panda has pulled out the king of home defense, a “sawed off” Mossberg shotgun. Tracy and company could be in big trouble. If you’re hit with one of those, you will be incredibly lucky to escape with your life. If firing slugs the hole will be big enough to put your hand through, and if firing shot…. Well lets just say it is very hard to miss, and there may not be much left to identify.

    Panda’s tactical shotgun could do a lot of damage if the MCU were to storm in recklessly. But, even so, I think one or both of these guys is likely to be eating lead soon. Teevo is expendable!

    Enjoy the strip on a day-to-day basis w/ the pacing & daily cliff-hangers. Much more so than w/ Locher or Killian.

    But in the big-scheme-of-things a.k.a. overall narrative I’m often at a loss. Tracy & his team aren’t covering all the entrances/exits so Teevo can waltz right in?

    And time-wise…how much time has passed for Teevo to see Tracy on screen, have confrontation w/ Patton, shoot Patton, plant virus, flee police HQ, race to Panda’s Talent Agency in stolen police cruiser & now have tete-a-tete w/ Panda?

    All the while while Tracy declares search warrant & kicks in front door when he hears gunfire (Mumbles & Littleface presumably)? What has Tracy been doing all this time?

    Sorry. Don’t mean to be Grumbly Gus but I gotta call it as I see it. Stuff like this frustrates the heck out of me.

    Panda almost looks alien today. I thought he would be smarter than to take on Tracy and company. Teevo continues to prove he’s worthless, even to his own gang. He has a police car and their communication is out. He should be able to get out of Dodge on his own. And hello to VistaBill, glad you’re okay!

    Number 13!! Uh oh! dunno if thats lucky or not! lol! the way i see it is that panda is gonna end up taking out some of his own men… .with kadaver’s smoke pellets limiting line of sight contact and pandas shotgun firing randomly, it wont be pretty. also, perhaps teevo might accidentally step in front of the shotgun lol. naaah.. ironic justice would be patton putting teevo away for a long looong time (and maybe giving him just a “mere flesh wound” while he’s at it lol) i wanna see what happens with doubleup and blaze.. will she defend davey and sacrifice doubleup? its possible, he kinda creeps her out anyway.. and feeling the bite of the bullwhip didnt earn him any friend points either. i can see blaze turning n her gang sooner or later

    Usually in these scenarios when the crooks shoot it out with the cops it doesn’t end well for the crooks. I don’t see Panda or Teevo surviving this, do you.

    I’m thinking the two guys in today’s strip won’t make it out of this mess.

    I guess there are two types of people – the fighters and the runners. Who else besides Panda is dying to shoot it out? (figuratively speaking)

    Yep. I’m betting the rest of the week and Sunday is going to be a real hot, “shoot-em-up” time at Panda’s!!

    Teevo is a true coward. That is un-American. I hope he gets shot!

    Reminds me of the sawed-off shoot out with Pike’s masked men in ’73, which resulted in another hole-y hat on the wall.

    You wonder who is responsible for the Teevo character in the first place! Ahhh – Mattie’s “genius”, Locher! Mike and Joe have ceated a good way to dispose of a character that never should have been created in the first place.

    We’re going to start mocking people because they guessed wrong about future plot developments? Really? Seems like a lot of people here have been wrong about a lot of things. Give me a break.

    Did you hide out at the “old granary”? 8^)

    I think Teevo is just lucky that Panda is to busy with Tracy and Co. to mess with him right now. If his cover is blown, then he is of no use to Mr. Crime anymore. We could just flip Panda’s image in the last panel and change his word balloon a little.Anyone want to suggest Panda’s line? Teevo’s last words leave such a great opening.

    I personally like the idea of Teevo repenting and finding redemption by helping out the law from the inside…..be ironic if as Tracy was, say, about to be shot….Teevo saved him by nailing the perpetrator first……yeah, and I know I’m taking the road less travelled here, lol

    I really can’t see Teevo redeeming himself after shooting Chief Patton and running away like the cowardly dog that he is. Panda may be crazy, but at least he’s showing some backbone here.
