Looks like Sweatbox is going to try to run down Mole, Toad, Tracy and Lee. Hope Tracy shoots him first. I would hate to see Mole perish protecting Toad.
Today’s art is particularly and powerfully expressive. It has a cinematic, Hitchcockian sensibility. I did fear at first that Sweatbox was intending to run over Mole and Toad and feared Mole was being heroically martyred out of the strip, but then saw that he was heading away from them, not toward them. Tracy should be able to get off a round or two as the car speeds away, but it looks as though Lee will have to get the squadcar rolling , only slowing briefly to let Tracy jump in….
I’m guessing the roads in that rural area aren’t exactly in pristine condition with the snowfall right now. Perhaps Sweatbox will do himself in with an accident? Or at least be stopped by a tree.
Mole = Gravel GertieToad = Sparkle (ball = hot ashes)Tracy sees the criminal flee, checkLee = SamNight pursuit, check.Headlights on, check.Criminal found dead, coming soon.
Is there a nice, cold lake where Sweatbox can go off the road and break through the ice? Drowning in cold, dark water would be an appropriate death for someone who constantly complains about it benig too hot.
Give Pouch his propers, he gave a good tipWhile under duress, a useful slip of the lip.Best not to dissemble when facing the MoleHis strong hands will dig a fresh burial holePouch heard the scanner, aimed Mole at the MarshTo protect little Toad he’d mete out justice most harsh.A happy ending for Toad, so give Pouch his dueHe helped Mole to find her, so please buy a fewOf his colored balloons your next trip to our cityFor a snitch he’s a good guy, though not very pretty.
even though I may look like SB with a beard I feel more like mole in his present state. I too do hope for a chase here, and hope DT gets to put a slug in that ole bum. We know that SB is unarmed so a high speed crash would suffice.Anyone that would deliberately force a kid to do anything (other than take out the trash) needs to know Mr. Pain. … We are seeing history made right here with the DT team. I bet this forum will grow to a couple hundred posts a day before long.
I expect with the icy roads and snow we are in for a crash. I hope that’s not the end of the story though. I’m still curious about all of those skeletons and what Tawara knows about all of this.

Speaking of ganders, what’s sauce for the goose… You’re the one who asked to see his picture but won’t show yours. Neither John’s nor my identity is in question. Just sayin’…
Remember, we were told Sweaty was in a marsh. So there could well be an icy patch or two before he meets his demise (although I’d like to see this one go to prison, and meet his end there).I’m still wondering when we’ll learn the age/gender/identity of any of the skeletons that have turned up.And what does George remember from Camp Freedom?
Ray, OF COURSE you remember meeting Matt! You were just standing there minding youir own business when an guy in his late thirties dressed in Dick Tracy frilly underwear crawled up to you , obviously wanting to be noticed
Well, well, well! Tell me, Mr. Locher, how is life since you passed the torch (and quit torching) the strip on to the current team and watched it reinvent itself, as it soared to new heights? And how is the foul-mouthed little wannabe who followed your every step and claimed to have an inside to your work? You say he’s still hanging around street shoots, hoping to meet someone “important”? You say you retired from DT trying to get away from him?

He’s getting away, and will we ever find out about all the skeletons?

Alright, this is the way Gould did things, no easy capture, the scum gets away, while Dick looks for his “Traces”

Now I guess that Mole takes Toad home in his truck and Dick follows the perp

I just love Toad’s face in the first panel, she looks relieved and safe, while running to her surrogate Daddy

Funny you met me in NY because all of my filming was in KY. I was not an extra I played the supporting role of Earl, the hostage trucker.

Actually, SDM, why don’t you rent the movie and watch it. I get a royalty each time it is rented or shown on TV.
