God bless you Sam!

Good morning everyone!

Good Morning V.B.! :)

Judging by the smile on Punjab’s face, it will not be a pleasant meeting for Axel.

Likely a good idea for someone to take the first watch……

Amazing how one panel can invoke sympathy and sadness. I agree… God bless you, Sam Katchem.

Apparently, Sam’s going to sleep with his hat on. I hope his dreams are better than what happened to his family in the War.

Punjab’s polishing his sword can’t portend good things for Axel!

Sam’s comment strikes deeply. So few words, so much meaning. Punjab’s smile is enough to get his meaning across.

So apparently Tracy & Annie are going back to where ever they are staying. Do you think Axel might get tipped off when Sandy is suddenly at Annie’s side?

A sword to polish, and an Axel to grind.

Sam is showing his selfless nature. Bravo to him! The shading of Fritz Ann speaks volumns. Oh and Sam might want to sleep with one eye open considering the enemy is sleeping right next to him! LOL!

Score one for Sam! That should shut Fritzie up for a while!And nice to see Warbucks’ boys honing their tools for the coming game-time excitement—the Asp, his gun, and the unbelievably menacing Punjab, his blade. Tomorrow will be a good day not to be Axel!

I expect tomorrow’s strip to be really, really good! I thought at first we’d delay until Sunday, but now I think it’s timed so that the assault will be covered Friday and Saturday, and the confrontation with Axel on Sunday. But Mike and Joe always keep me guessing.

Aaaaand, just when I’m sure someone is about to make a crack about Sam and Fritz Ann… and hay… Sam brings a little reality back into the picture. (Nice job, Team Tracy!)

Sam ponders the past, wishing to help those in need. Punjab ponders tomorrow and making Axel bleed.

Great scene with Sam and Fritz Ann. I have the feeling she’s thinking she’d do the same thing.Nicely done, Mike and Joe.

Good morning DT and Annie fans. Sam has a good heart. God bless you Sam!

Sam wishes it was 1904 back when Coca-Cola had cocaine.

whoops! thats supposed to say “theres BEEN more movement of characters in the last three days”

Ok. This reader would like to know what happened to Sam’s Fam in the 40’s.

wish the strip would actually let him use that knife on Axel.

Mr. Stanton is such an awesome artist, just look at those hands. Nicely drawn hands even with no nails on Punjab. He seems to be giving his knife a little extra attention today. I would bet that tomorrow it will be put to use.

Sam and Fritz Ann..Rollin’ in the Hay???

Be Cool, Sam..the Asp is with you..

As an observant Jew, Sam is right to be thinking of his lost relatives, ahead of the High Holy days which start next Wednesday night with Rosh Hashana (the Jewish new year) and end 10 days later with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, often considered the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

I’ve been thinking (oh no!)… Someone here noted that the Silos and some others are the real deal, and not brainwashed hard hats, as Axel told his superior recently.

Could Axel be trying to put one over on his superiors? They probably bankrolled this operation. So Axel may be planning to take Kenyon’s formula and pull a double-cross. That explains some of the conflicting stories.

Old Wall Street saying: “Buy on Rosh Hashana, sell at Yom Kippur.”

Marvelous work, Team Tracy!G*d bless you! Sam…
