Fast moving & interesting story! Great art (just look at the detail on DoubleUpâs bullwhip!) And another fascinating entry by Jim Doherty! All that and our poets, too! What a special Suinday!
A blestful Sunday morning to all Tracy fans. Including âGwedo the Greatâ.________Excellent poem Eldo. Our Poet Laureate.__________Good comic Gweedo._______Be happy and healthy my friends.
Whatever happened to the consequence for Axelrodâs foot speed, when Tracy (Sam?) shouted - âFreeze!â ?
Not so effective then, (seems he got away â unless he remains standing, as Neil (compliantly?) envisioned him - unseen (?), âto the left of the frameâ . . . ??. . . so today command ⌠IS - âNobody Move !âAnd the main known suspects are âseenâ to remain in the room.
Note too, the charge is murder, not one of âsuspicionâ of murder.No wish to sound âpickyâ . . .(but Axelrod Speed?)You got to âimagineâ, they already have a âmotiveâ in the bag, and forensics in, that tie back to Jimmyâs gun, plus a reliable Eye Witness, (peeping through the door?) just as Jimmy pulled the trigger ? Not just simply seen (by a worker), running out the office after the sound of shots.
No Guess Work here. the case IS - âOpen and Shutâ!
The office has no windows? No light from the adjacent room? Is Doubleup going to lash out (pun intended) with his whip on two cops that have their guns trained on him? Hopefully, Tracy and Sam have their night vision goggles in their utility belts! Great poems, you two! Especially the 10 minute wonder!
The bullwhip appears prominently three times⌠Axelrod has gloves on but the hand the switches off the lights does not. It looks like a masculine hand but Blaze is the one unaccounted for.
I wonder if we will ever find out what actually become of all that gold. That is a lot of gold to be just missing or even just forgot about. Jimmy has to tie up loose ends to keep things hushed, surely someone has a story to tell of a big bunch of gold. âŚ.that is before Jimmy runs out of ammo âŚ.
The âtrain conductorâ is indeed a suspicious fellow. If he removed his gloves he becomes the leading candidate for switch flipper. This engaging story broke the ârulesâ when the crime took place off-panel. This simple twist leaves us to guess where the gold is and who will take the prize. Doubleup is cool under pressure. âIâve never seen that whip before in my life, officer.â Hy Pressure saw it, but only for a moment. I like the way Team Tracy mixes it up. Thanks for another fine Hall of Fame inductee, Sgt. Doherty.
Thanks to Willy007, Ray Toler, VistaBill, cpalmeresq, Gweedo, Neil Wick, Ashmael, Starman1948, morrow, Chris Sherlock, John Russell and JPuzzleWhiz for the kind words. Very much appreciated.
Wonderful poetry from Pequod and Avenger! Thank you!
From yesterdayâs strip, Axelrod, Jimmy, and DoubleUp gets word Tracy was arriving. Axelrod heads to the storage closet (to hide or escape, we donât know), but Jimmy stays to take his chances, and DoubleUp also stays.
Todayâs strip: Tracy and Sam face Jimmy and DoubleUpâbut no sight of Axelrod. Tracy and Sam are unaware of him, for the âengineerâ responded to Tracyâs question of âwhereâs Jimmy?â
So itâs possible that it is Axelrodâs unseen hand we see flipping the switch, for Tracy and Sam, having a bead on Jimmy and DoubleUp, had their hands raised.
Ah, but there is DoubleUpâs whip, on the desk, right in front of him. The lights go out, Tracy says âNOBODY MOVE! That means you, DoubleUp!â and DoubleUp snickers. Sounding confident?
Going from bright light to darkness takes time to adjust for the eyes, so if DoubleUp has reflexes of a cat, the whip will be a-lashing, a-lashing!
Gweedo the Great said about three hours ago: do you thinkâŚ..______Yes, we should indeed get a free trip to the awards ceremony.______Be well my friend.
Where was Axelrod when the lights went out?Since he seems to be the only person unaccounted for, Iâm guessing that on his way to the secret egress through the storage closet he found the light switch and flipped it off. Will DoubleUp try to take advantage of the dark and go for his whip (lying nearby on the table)? Iâm guessing that he will, as that would provide some action and excitement in the coming strips. Jimmy is a big, easy target and could be unintentionally hit if Tracy or Sam, or both, open fire before DoubleUp can disarm them with his bullwhip, bullwhipâŚ.
And look how the guy in overalls is âlooking over his shoulder with his eyesâ â Joe sure does pay attention to details, and he uses things he has probably observed in real life.
Since we donât know for sure who might be in the building the light switch couldâve been flipped by anyone but I doubt Jimmy or Double Up couldâve managed that maneuver. The most likely culprits would be Axelrod or another gang member. I doubt Blaze would risk coming in. We might not even find out who it was.

Tracy and Sam may be holding guns . . .
But it seems to me, theyâd be reluctant to pull a trigger in the dark, unless someone physically attacked them.
Canât be sure what youâll HIT if you canât SEE whatâs there.Could be unintended - âmanslaughterâ !

Jimmyâs cleaning up loose ends, thus his Lufthansa stunt
Unbeknownst to Jimmy, Doubleup has joined the hunt.
Fontane and Cork have felt the fork. Both of them are done
Now he aims for Axelrod, before he has to run.
Silence is so golden when the ones who cease to speak
Know too much of the gold heist, their knowledge bound to leak.
Yet dead men never tell their tales, they always stay so quiet
When questioned by authorities canât confirm or deny it.
Choo Shooz knows heâs paid his dues, his heist long in the works
Now wary of the fallout, for the threat of Blackhearts lurks.
Sam and Tracy on the case, for Jimmy they now search
They gamble on a bookie joint where Jimmyâs known to perch.
Welcome a wild party: Doubleup doubles the fun
So disarming and assertive, Jimmy reaches for his gun.
Sam and Tracy on the scene just in the nick of time
Tracy arrests Jimmy Choo Shooz. Murder is the crime.
As Jimmy reaches for the sky the room goes black as ink
Tracy calm and cool. Never been the first to blink.
Cowards pout when the lights go out. Doubleup just grins
Been in tighter spots than this, while chalking up his wins.
