Aha! So it’s the old “dazzle-them-with-the-pretty-alien-chick-while-the-ugly-goon-sneaks-in-the-back-door-to-steal-the-Space-Coupe” trick! How cliché can you get?
Clone-Moon Maid recites her lines perfectly, just like a little robotic doll…. Is Bardoll sneaky enough to take down Tracy in Diet Smith’s private office? Or does the ambush wait until Sail’s retinue and Smith and maybe Tracy head for the stored Space Coupe? Will Sail succeed in hijacking the Space Coupe? Why?
Jeeze, all this speculation on why Tracy isn’t speaking!Why isn’t he?Just look at the two panels he appears in and tell me: how many word balloons can you fit in each panel?
I think Retik and Stellaluna are decent people. Sail has snookered them into his scheme with the promise of them going to the Moon. Ms Mysta-ry seems to say everything by rote. Like one of those dolls that you pull the string.
PS: I’m curious. Did Moon Maid call Diet, “Poppa Smith,” in her original incarnation? That term just seems a little strange for a woman to use that when addressing someone who’s not a blood relative.
Smith and Tracy spring a trap, soon Sail won’t be so smugBardoll’s brutal, strong yet dim, just a useful thug.The Space Coupe is well guarded, under Super-moonlit night Bigger, brighter in the sky: the Moon shines sans Space Coupe flight.Ghote and Sail did plan and scheme, all to no availManipulating Mysta in a plot destine to fail.Wishing so to see her kin, the Maiden’s overjoyedSoon sorrow and deep heartache: Moon Valley is destroyed.She’s had more than her portion of trials, tears and painDrained the bitter cup of agony; life filled it up again.No joyous reunion with loved ones on the Moon or here on EarthWithout her family and friends where’s the value of rebirth?
this is weird… even for tracy. i dont think thats our intrepid detective standing in front of moon maid lite at all…. he is PROBABLY waiting by the space coupe to catch bardoll.
Congratulations, Vista Bill! Your great-grandchild is one lucky kid! (And I can tell that by reading your comments here – Good Man…And a Voice of Reason.)
Allow me to add my congratulations and best wishes for a healthy new member of the family. As we used to say back at Wheaton Presbyterian, “Mazel Tov!”
Maybe Tracy has analyzed the hair sample Honeymoon got. Maybe he knows “Mysta” isn’t a moon-person. Maybe he knows who she really is. I still believe she’s a made-over human with deep psych programming.

Yes, this is the best yet!

But,as someone mentioned before, Diet Smith has a big security team… Where are they?

Is that really Tracy? Wouldn’t he say something to someone who was (is?) his daughter-in-law?

if it is a manikin, that would explain why he isn’t saying anything

There’s going to be trouble with Bardolllurking elsewhere as was shown in the last panel.

…..and again, Stellaluna is showing that she may not be on board with this caper!

Maybe it’s not Tracy, but Fearless Fosdick, and the clone has screwed up big time.

What about Sparkle?

I think Stellaluna and Retik are dirty. Anyone who even knows Bardol exists is a thug.

Is Bardoll a space coupe pilot getting ready to steal it?
ColonelClaus over 11 years ago
I can’t see someone of bar dolls physical size stealing the space coupe. He is up to something else

Smith and Tracy spring a trap, soon Sail won’t be so smug
Bardoll’s brutal, strong yet dim, just a useful thug.
The Space Coupe is well guarded, under Super-moonlit night
Bigger, brighter in the sky: the Moon shines sans Space Coupe flight.Ghote and Sail did plan and scheme, all to no avail
Manipulating Mysta in a plot destine to fail.
Wishing so to see her kin, the Maiden’s overjoyed
Soon sorrow and deep heartache: Moon Valley is destroyed.
She’s had more than her portion of trials, tears and pain
Drained the bitter cup of agony; life filled it up again.
No joyous reunion with loved ones on the Moon or here on Earth
Without her family and friends where’s the value of rebirth?
