    There appears to be paperwork on the passenger’s seat. So I don’t anticipate any sort of abduction.

    Who would want to get in with an old sweatyman like him?

    frankly, you wonder why a young girl would even talk to a sweaty old man driving by slowly in a car, these days

    An old Rolls maybe? Sweatbox seems to be able to afford whatever he wants. (I wonder if Mole is close by? Hope so.)

    MOLE!Even if Sweaty Simon has “honorable” intentions, I don’t like the idea of the old potential murder suspect approaching a little girl directly rather than seeking out first her parent or guardian….

    Yes, I hope Mole is near. Just in case.

    I suspect that Mole keeps an eye on Toad.

    I will be disappointed if there is a DT shoot out and this is over by tomorrow. The stories just start to get some meat and POW POW and its done.

    i dont like the looks of this…. sweatbox isnt up ot any good.. if he WAS as harmless as everyone THIKNKS, then he wouldnt be named “SWEATBOX” to begin with.. he’d be just plain old Simon. ONLY the villains in tracy strips ( for the most part) get the weird names! lol!

    The Chi Tribune has a different last panel for today’s strip. In the paper, Toad’s mom is asking Mole to call Toad for dinner.

    Back to complaining about the strip again. I knew it couldn’t last. Someone must have turned on the beacon.

    I’m tired of your games, little man. Cease your actions immediately or suffer the consequences.MPH

    Sounds like a case of identity theft. Better call Tracy.

    “Today it appears that our young star player is in the passenger seat with SWEATY/OLIVE OILY’s boyfriend.”******************Toad is not in the car, and let’s hope it stays that way. Regardless of Mr. Baux’s intentions for her I wouldn’t want to be a passenger in a car driven by someone who can’t seem to keep his eyes open.

    Matt, I’ll have to think of you as “QUICK DRAW McGRAW” ??

    The ink wasn’t dry on Morrow’s post to SDM before there you were, appearing with an identity denial ?I’m going to suspect you two, (or is it three ?) share the same computer ?

    Haven’t you made this warning TWICE before to SDM ?

    Seems he just ignored them (?) Perhaps,he thinks it’s just plenty bark and_NO_ bite - confident there would be NO follow through ?

    I’ve NEVER been shy about my opinions, so what possibly could be gained by ME by making up stupid handle and posting here?

    I guess that also applies to the wilandike handle you use on the Yahoo board? Granted that you sign your posts but wilandike is still a handle unless it is your middle name.

    You also do not post a profile for the wilandike account on Yahoo so that other posters can see who you really are. If you are so adamant about posting openly, why no profile?

    Otto, the activity today exemplifies what happens when you get up in the morning and skip the Prozac. Now, he has to double the dose to make up for it. Hear the Z-z-z’s? It’s kicked in and he’s napping. Everything is nice now…..

    Matthew Hansel, by saying the use of “handles” is “cowardly” you have just insulted half the board. Most of us do it for fun….we’re not fighting with each other and there’s no reason to “back it up” with our real name. You have in all liklihood insulted several who have fought for our country or served in a profession protecting others lives. Yeah, “cowards”. Right. And if you want MY real name, e-mail me at fredville_usa@yahoo.com and I’ll not only give you that, but my address so you can come and call me a coward in person, how’s that?

    Well, those papers in Sweatboxes car are obviously a police report, since he has Toad’s full name. But I find it incredulous he would want to harm her for breaking a window. Of course, it’s incredulous that was the first time that window was broken playing ball, and incredulous that the old man could abduct her anyways unless he pulls a gun….how’s he going to catch her? Plus she could probably beat him up anyways……naw, he’s probably going to thank her. And finally, incredulous that George and his husband’s involvement in this story has apparently ended, and the sole motivation was to intro a gay married couple…..what’s next, writing the captions in Spanish and making us translate, lol?

    I really should stay out of this, but, for what it’s worth, Matt Hansel is a real person. I’ve met him f2f on several occasions (we both live in the Chicago area). He has never been shy about voicing his opinions under his own name, so, as he pointed out, he would really have nothing to gain by creating a fictional persona to post opinions similar to those he has already has posted publicly under his own name..He and his friend, Jeff Kersten (who I’ve also met), do a fine job maintaining the DICK TRACY MUSEUM website..I can’t offer any absolute proof that Matt and SDM are two different people, but I can say that there really is a Matt Hansel, that he has always posted to sites like these under his own name, and that if he says he’s not SDM, I believe him.

    Mattie, that is not what tsull meant – and you know it! When someone hops on SDM, you come to his defense. Sometimes you chime in within a minute, all the while claiming to never read this forum. What did PT Barnum say…..?“You can fool some of the people some of the time…”

    Didn’t the earlier strip say ‘Toad’ was an orphan? She must have “Street Smarts” and knows better than to get in a stranger’s car!
