Interesting thought (for all you folks calling for Abner Kadaver to be a costume player here): To have Abner in costume here would be to admit that Tracyville is fiction – within the storyline. As long as Abner is “real” in this “reality,” why would anyone want to dress up like him?
Svengoolie is another matter, inasmuch as he has admitted that he is not real, in our reality or Tracyville’s reality. Heck, he’s not even Jerry G. Bishop!
That guy with the “Doonesbury nose”, eyelids at half mast, and the purse slung over his shoulder, is no stranger to Acapulco Gold and 500 sheets of Joker papers………. bet on it!
Not even 10:00 AM (local time), and already 60 comments and replies! (It is true, I acknowledge, that commenting tends to front-load heavily; that is, most commenting is done early, and many make it their practice to comment as early as possible.)
Honeymoon is amused at the stoner’s mistaking Tracy’s “costume” for the drab grey of Inspector Gadget, as well as at Pop Pop’s knowing response (“wowzers” [sic] ). So far, however, no sign of a crime! Maybe tomorrow/Sunday things will start to break….
I saw this article yesterday about this cute little girl who was running around the Star Wars Celebration con, handing out plans to the Death Star to everyone she could find who was dressed as Leia.
Oh my gosh she is a cutie! And such a marvelous idea and as a tribute to the late Carrie Fisher. I liked Rogue One better than ST7 myself. Now it can be watched as a lead in to ST4
Not everyone at the cons are young. I saw a photo of an older gray haired woman dressed as Granny from the Looney Tunes, carrying an old-fashioned bird cage with a little Tweety inside.

’I spy with my little eye …
- The guy talking to Tracy is probably ‘Usopp,’ from ‘One Piece.’
- ‘The Flash’ is clearly visible just to the right of Usopp.
- That’s ‘Black Canary’ on the far right of the first panel.

I’ve often confused ‘Inspector gadget’ with ‘Inspector Zenigata,’ from the ’Lupin III’ series.

Tracy is clearly ‘not’ cosplaying as ‘Robot Detective K.’ …

Figured out who the WITCH was in yesterday’s strip: Broom Hilda! Does that mean we’re just about ready for that Broom Hilda and Alley Oop crossover?

“Wowzers” indeed! I hadn’t realized that Tracy could be mistaken for Inspector Gadget.

So did he think Honeymoon was supposed to be Gadget’s niece Penny – the real brains of the, um, outfit? (no pun intended)

If Tracy’s there, crime’s afoot! Maybe we’ll see Sherlock Holmes there. :)
