that snake teevo shot pat! even if teevo DOES survive the eventual shoot out at crime’s hq… he’s gonna be cooling his heels in the slammer for quite some time! next up SHOULD be the outcome of the mumbles little face shoot out. by the way, joe , EXCELLENT pic of patton on the ground!
Every businesses nightmare. A virus that is placed on the server from behind the firewall. I hope that the communications is the only thing that got hit. Davey may have some hidden talents we didn’t know about, or Teevo knows more about computers than I thought.
I found that after being “number one” the thrill is kind of gone. Like when Jim Morrison was told he would never be on the Sullivan show again and said, “I’ve done the Sullivan show.” Awww, I’m just bummed about Chief Patton. Never thought I’d have an emotional attachment to a comic strip. Fantastic work, Mike and Joe.
Pat Patton was shot in the line of duty back in the Big Boy days of 1929-30 and pulled out of it fine. Spent a few dailies in a hospital bed, a few more with his arm in a sling and then helped DT round up Ribs Mocco. He’ll be fine. Teevo is another story however. He’s going away for a long time.
TEEVO MUST DIE!The dirty fink shot our beloved Chief Patton; he pushed the button releasing Mylar’s Virus into the com system; he’s using a squad car with emergency lights and siren to race to the aid (he thinks) of Mr Crime! He is, for the moment, my Public Enemy No. 1, Wanted Dead or Alive! (Yeah, I likes me a little “frontier justice” at times like this.)
Weren’t there two shots? Did Teevo get off both shots? It’s kinda hard to miss at that range. I suspected that Pat was pulling out a 1890 vintage single action .38 revolver that wasn’t cocked. No match for a Glock.
more like timmy stayed up til 1:15am to wait for the new strip to post lol. so i’ve been #1 TWICE already, and i am fine with that. my quest is done… mainly because i REFUSE to stay up til 1am again! lol! :-D
I think Teevo could get out of HQ because not everyone would be aware that he is a mole. I guess the shoot-out with Chief wasn’t witnessed by anyone and then the focus was on the Chief.
I was afraid of something like this. The Chief is a lot older than Teevo, and even if his gun had been cocked, he’d have been hesitant to fire.Teevo, on the other hand, had nothing to loose.Going to Mr. Crime’s lair isn’t a good idea – if Panda didn’t tell anyone who the mole was, Teevo might get a 9mm greeting from B-B Eyes!
Almost forgot —Great art today – especially panel 1!And another unexpected plot twist!Who’d have imagined – a real mystery adventure comic strip! (Could this lead to a revival of the genre?)
The muerte vine is way too good for Teevo. It’s the barracuda for him! (The vine can have the leftovers of the ’cuda’s Teevo dinner … if any.)Great poem, wndrwrthg — one of your best!
There was another barracuda, right? The Muerte Plants appear to be an old school Death Trap but may take too long too consume someone. A barracuda pool on the other hand could take care of a rat very quickly.

I won’t ask how Tricky Teevo got out of thebuilding and into a car. There’s nothing like a good plot complication.

Huh. The little rat was a better shot then we thought. Well, he’ll get his or my name isn’t Laramore…and it isn’t!
brinrik over 12 years ago
I may be wrong but I think I remember Mike commenting a while back that at the end of this arc there would be as many as 6 die in the final shootout.

Lets not kill the Chief off yet. All that we know for sure is that he is on the floor unconscious.

Teevo will be eaten by the vine!
wndrwrthg over 12 years ago
Ah, to be number one on the ol’ message board
For some, it’s the apex, to others it’s abhorred
Such a race, for some, to be the one who’s first
Only to become the subject of scorn and silently cursed
Oh, what we endure for this brief moment of glory
But enough of that, let’s get to the story
The chief is down, a victim of foul play
The word goes out, someone will pay
But what’s this? Smoke curls at the chiefs side
Hopefully he put a big hole in that rat Teevos’ hide
Communications breakdown, man it’s a pain
An airwave takedown, now that’s just insane
No virus was the cause of this dastardly bug
Teevo, it seems, simply pulled the plug
Now he races across town, seemingly to seek redress
For what has become a really big mess
To the edge of the cliff we find ourselves once moreNever really sure of just what’s in store
So on tenterhooks we wait with our breath bated
Will our expectations ever be sated?
Thanks, M.M.M, VistaBill, mzkdad, Det.DD, Mike Curtis and margueritem, for the comments yesterday.

Didn’t see that coming. The chief can’t leave the Tracy / Catchem / Patton trifecta.

Well, since Teevo survived. There will be at least three deaths coming up.
