There you go. Apparently, reality shows can be instructive. Also, apparently, they are actually ‘gators and not crocodiles. It’s not that easy to tell the difference from a drawing.
Hey, maybe the gators aren’t real, just high tech illusions…..I mean, who would keep 3 monstrous gators in his basement? Ok, I know, it’s a comic strip…-
About 15 years ago here in Kansas City, the police found an alligator walking down one of our streets. It turns out that for years an old lady was secretly keeping several alligators living in the pool behind her house and was studying and documenting their behavior. Bottom line, the gators were immediately and permanently transferred to the zoo and the woman went to court and paid a lot of hefty fines.
How many rounds does Tracy’s gun carry? I am betting Kadaver throws a few surprises at him that will cause him to use up his supply and leave them to face eachother man to man… or man to zombie!
Tracy expends three rounds to kill one gator at close range? I thought he was a better shot than that. Conserve your ammo, detective!Issue sidearms may range in magazine capacity from 10 rounds (most .45 cal police models) to as many as 17 (some 9mm models; most 9 mm police models have a 15-round magazine). Popular .40 cal models are typically 12 rounds. Suppliers include Glock, Sig Sauer, S&W, Walther, Sturm Ruger, and occasionally others….
I was kinda disappointed that Tracy’s encounter with the three Crocks/Gators/Raptors/Magpies ended so fast. I was looking forward to seeing him struggle at least a wee bit more.
It might have been nice, but it really only takes a few seconds to fire off 3 shots. It doesn’t leave much room for struggling, especially with 3 big ’gators in a small room.
This Sunday’s installment should be one of the most action-packed ones ever. Tracy has two more challenges to face in the next six days in order to make it home in time for the obligatory Christmas greetings strip (which I always look forward to).
There could be a “SweatBox ending” under the tree this year.

Watch, the next death trap will be solved by something he learned from the wedding show.

Dick Tracy listened to me and shot the Gators like I said he should. I just hope the people from PETA don’t get upset!

Abner Kadaver made one mistake. He didn’t tell Dick Tracy to come unarmed.

Are you sure you got them all though Tracy? Don’t walk across that pool unless you’re absolutely sure!

Tracy should be able to get a couple of pieces of luggage and a pair of shoes from offing the three alligators.

Gators have a rough skin. It’s aproiectile enough? Kadaver id like Blackjack, he loves to play with Dick (no pun intended)

Maybe Kadaver took the gators from the sewage system, urban legend has it there are gators there, and we are underground…

Good morning everyone…
Whew! I was afraid that DT had forgotten his weapon. He did forget to take it to the circus and the science museum.

Actually, I learned about a gator’s kill spot from “Swamp People.”

But everyone knows that gators are not as aggressive as crocs who are known man eaters.

Shouldn’t there be a lot of blood in the water after Tracy popped three Gators? I just hope the people at PETA don’t get offended!

Sewer gators would be more of a pasty hue, I’m sure.

At the request of OakRidgeBoy, Tracy still has an RPG stashed in that trench coat.

Now Dick’s going to have to fill out paperwork for firing his weapon. “fired at alligators…”
gouldstandard almost 11 years ago
Yeah, if all his “challenges” involve using his gun it would be disappointing….I’m betting # 2 will be a little harder at most, but # 3 a beaut!!!
gouldstandard almost 11 years ago
Kadaver should make # 3 a reality show quiz since Dick likes ’em so much, featuring “Keeping Up With The K…….”
