I see there is a lot of pro and con discussion about the crossovers today. I thought this was a pretty good story, and a very good rendering of the Annie cast. I sort of hope that Mike and Joe tone down the idea of crossing over with all sorts of other comic strips, though. I don’t want Dick Tracy to lose its’ own special “feel”.About today’s strip: If Oliver is talking about helping Tracy and company “wrap up this case”, then where is that jet flying to? Back to Tracy’s City? Was there an airstrip on the island? Or did they all make it back to the City off panel, and now Oliver and Annie are going somewhere else?LOOSE ENDS! Unless there is major explaining scheduled for tomorrow? What was really going on, on that island, who was Axel trying to “sell” Tracy to, who were Axel’s bosses?Some of you like to nickname endings according to previous stories. “Sweatbox endings”, etc. This feels like a LOST ending to me – lots of hints throughout the story of what might be happening, all sorts of mysterious stuff on an island which had a famous “incident” at one point in its’ history, but, at the end we really didn’t get any explanation for half the stuff they teased us with over the course of the show.
