    I believe this elephant is eavesdropping. I have experience in these sort of things.

    Yes, he was a shape shifter. Just look at that new face in panel 1.

    RINGO: “In fact, this is all new to me. I had another occupation. ’ AND we are about to hear the release of this weeks “tit-bit”, a colossally stupid story twist, possibly the worst ever written in 77 years of Dick Tracy.

    It’s that he is in a “wItness protection” program . Placed in the Circus by the FBI to hide him from those that wish to kill him. Aside from ZERO “experience” as a Ring Master, where do the Feds HIDE him ?

    Of the (Deficit) numbered amount of places available, he is “hidden” right AMONG the people who want to KILL him ! In the Circus (?) Untouchably far fetched !! (A quantum of “exclamation” marks needed here)

    Not the best ACTION oriented tale ever written, in fact, one could say things have “stood still” for ALL of the EIGHT weeks other than for the singleton event of shooting the Trapeze Artist. And up to end September he’s still there, ELEVEN plus weeks, and counting.

    NEED I add that Ms. Karen Ennen’s introduction is a non event and of absolutely no significance, Just a “diversion” of no import, a sort of “flyer” to inject a little change in an ULTRA dull scenario. Put it on the disengenous “not needed” shelf, along with Tess’ credit card scam

    Then, wait until you hear the MOTIVE for that killing. She was shot before SHE could kill Ringo, because the shooter wanted to have that pleasure. Yet another character moves in to do so (and isn’t shot)

    Is Locher’s clock still ticking normally ? I don’t know, but if Capt. Joseph Medil Patterson were still alive, little Dicky would be on his way for a session in the Woodshed.

    It’s a Trojan elephant, LeakySqeaky! Soon, a small band of men will pop out of the bottom and shoot Ringo (or should we call him “Wrongo”?).

    Actually elephants are pretty good at sharpening their own tusks. I used to know an elephant on the Ringling Bros red unit who did just that. He was the only performing male asian elephant at the time and as such the only one with solid tusks. (The females tusks are hollow and fragile and easily broken - that’s why they are so carefully trimmed in circus acts and elephant rides.) He used to lay down and rub his tusks on the ground around him. They trimmed about 6 inches off his tusks about 1973 and my ex-husband was given one of the pieces as a momento. One side of it was flat from all the sharpening.

    Maybe the possible new writer (gotta be sure I ain’t bleeped) will develop Agent Enema into a hottie. That would at least be interesting. Wonder if Liam ever bleeped the strip for bad taste?

    Forget the Tracy saga, let’s all follow the Mattie saga.
