Locher calls this type of case a MYSTERY and his less articulate MIND that storyline is characterized mainly by ‘unexpected’ events, a style that points readers in one direction only to whip them around 180 degrees in the next
A review of the tale here will show the only technique at play is the ‘unexpected’, even if it contradicts an earlier ploy We won’t get anyting else, certainly not a ‘memorable’ Villain as that would give away the ‘surprise’ of who the bad guy is - as Locher builds himself a nest of ‘creative’ rest.
So story boards are no longer constructed with the conventional Tracy script of - CRIME - CHASE and CAPTURE. The way HE always saw Gould do it, and later working as a parter with Collins - again watched it succesfully at work keeping newspaper CIRCULATION (and their ‘incomes’) 8 times greater than it is now.
A good character ‘design’ artist of villains in the Gould mold when interested, ‘focused’ and mind ’off’ his Editorial Cartoons, yet he never properly grasped many of the other SKILLS of the trade. In the end patterning his own writing style after that of his weakest partner Mike Kilian The latter not familiar with earlier techniques, never used the CHASE sequence which allowed interesting action backdrops both in the city and out countryside as the Villain desperately tried to escape capture.
