Suggests there is a lot more action ahead rather than watching perfume being made, watching robots fight and kicking one on the ground.
There is enough happening to make you “think” there has been some “input”… a little more than Locher moving events forward in the usual dull and sedate manner.
B.O. is thrown out of a car in Iowa to walk home. A gang member is caught in a Bear trap outside Sunny Dell Acres, Gertie stands ready to shoot, while Tracy slugs it out with One-Eye at the Casino and appears to rip off a mask.
Must admit, a lot MORE happening at the “same time” in one week’s panels than we have seen since Collins left. Enough to bring the brain cells to “attention”!
Could say, “presentation” (there), has moved up from “F” to “Pass”!
Thanks Sydney Phillips for the link. Looking ahead, improvements may be on the way. Those future strips are much better than what we have been seeing for a long time.
one eye—you know, one-eyed JACKS!
….those used to be the wild cards in my poker games as a child…one-eyed jacks and suicide kings!
forgive me if I am stating the obvious….
It’s not my intention to appear “insensitive” (Age wise, I’m not that far away), but scratch below the word “recap” and you may find that it is an euphemism for “nodding off”. The “recaps” are often one revolution per minute faster than “stalling”. When he wakes up he often needs to “crank” the engine.
It seems that for many years, that has been the state of affairs in “Locher Land”

Ol’ One Eye must have an IQ of twice that! Big Ace might see a few holes in the plot and One Eye might find himself on top of Queenie.

The way the banks are going these days, B.O. isn’t stupid…he’s smart!

At least, for the most part, we’re not suffering through recap after recap even if the storyline isn’t the greatest.
