Gold behind Door #3 …?

Doesn’t T-Bolt look a lot like Lee Ebony?

DT friends I am not well … cannot sleep My Christians friends Pray for me to be able to sleep …love, john

I almost forgot about T-Bolt. She’s not allowed to know about the hidden gold, either. If there’s a fight between the factions, who will she side with? Probably not the BB-Eyes group.

I haven’t tried one of those ergonomic keyboards. I think it’s meant to ease strain on your wrists to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury.

Feel better.-—Is T-Bolt not trusted?

Is T-Bolt not trusted?____________________

It’s probably more Mr. Bigg wanting to keep knowledge of the gold to as small an inner circle as possible … though that might backfire into civil war, should the truth come out the wrong way.

Blaze and T-Bolt have very similar hairstyles, by the way.

I have a wild thought. What if it wasn’t Johnny Adonis that Mumbles saw on the beach, but actually . . . T-Bolt?1. T-Bolt was on vacation at the same time as Johnny.2. She’s tall and muscular like the Johnny we saw at the beach.3. As far as we know, Johnny is still recuperating from T-Bolt’s attack, but the Johnny we saw on Sunday looked completely healthy.4. T-Bolt recently had physical contact with Johnny.5. Mike Curtis has given hints that Mumbles’ sighting of Johnny is significant to the story.6. All was not as it seemed in the first chapter of the space story (Mystery of Mysta, summer 2013), and perhaps the same is true in this chapter.What I’m getting at is what if T-Bolt, Mr. Bigg, Venus, Melies, and Apollo are actually changelings, and T-Bolt took the form of Johnny because she had had a chance to study his appearance after beating him up? I know this sounds harebrained, and it probably is. But think about it:A) Mr. Bribery fell from a great height, crashed through a roof, and then laid there overnight — how likely is it that he survived?B) Venus recently hinted to her two cohorts that their appearance had somehow been altered. On 3/26/15, she said, “Melies, remember yourself! You know why Apollo and I are different.”C) The trio’s names hint a space connection.D) I know the idea of a race of alien beings from another planet is wild — but the strip already knows of one such race (Moon people), so why not?E) Perhaps the Blackhearts’ ultimate interest in the Space Coupe is because its technology is far superior to any interstellar craft their race has been able to create, and they want one for themselves.Okay, you can laugh now. :)

It’s nice to see T-Bolt no longer looks like a cross between Grace Jones and the Frankenstein monster.

Good morning fellow DT fans!

So, let’s break that idea down a bit more …

What if the whole Johnny Adonis beat-down really was just to get T-Bolt in solid with the Blackhearts.

It explains what Johnny Adonis was doing there.

And why Tess hadn’t been concerned.

It leaves Ms Steffihawke’s visit to Adonis “in the hospital” as a loose end, unless the MCU is in on the scam.

Thus, Adonis’ hospital bed is empty …

… while Johnny does leg work in Florida.

Neat and tidy.

Passes parse.

Got no answer for that one.

Get Well wishes to Mike Curtis, who managed to roll his car on Sunday. Only minor injuries. Remember, kids, wear your seatbelts!

I remarked on Sunday that Johnny showing up at the beach, when he was supposedly in the hospital, suggested that the attack was staged. Securing T-Bolt’s undercover status would explain the ruse. Why would Bigg’s bodyguard be so curious about the door? The look over the glasses in panel 3 says “undercover.” We’ve seen Lee Ebony go undercover before, which would link the MCU and Tess’s agency. Very interesting. Still, Willy007’s changeling theory is a lot more fun. Best wishes to Mike Curtis for a speedy recovery.

Good morning Tracy fans.-———John Russell said about 7 hours ago: DT friends I am not well….cannot sleep-——Praying for you John. God Bless You.-—————@Willy007: Thanks for posting the important facts.-—————@AnyFace: Thanks for the posting the analysis.-—————Have a bountiful day everyone.

Prayers go out to John R & All bewildered Dick T Fans…Jesus Loves You All…

I don’t know how you people figure these things out so quickly, but this theory about Adonis and T-Bolt sounds great! I hope y’all are right, it sounds like a good story!

I use them almost exclusively, although I will warn you; be careful on what ones you buy. They’re either junk, or the company doesn’t stand by their products. Try before you buy if you can.

thanks friends first sleep in a while … but need rest still not well… thank you all … you know that your love, care and actions for others will not go unrewarded … I am just glad to overcome so much pride (among other baggage) to reach out to some folks that I feel really care. sorry to be a burden, but I’d bet it’s all in the master plan.

.I must say thank God for a good, kind, patient, loving friend, my bride of 36 years, because among other things this farm is not going to wait on me to get well and good ole green eyes is such a trooper, never had a do-less or lazy bone in her cute little body.

@blunebottle and NightShade09: I believe that you have put the puzzle together.-———Get well soon, Mike. Praying for you.

Facially, perhaps. But I think T-bolt is taller.-———————————————————Maybe she’s wearing boots with a thick high heel. That’d boost her height by 3 or more inches, and add to her disguise, if it is Lee.

I just want to add my thoughts to everyone else’s, wishing Mike a speedy and complete recovery.Thoughts and prayers are with you, Mike, but please – no more car stunts, huh?

Mike, you weren’t driving at Daytona, were you? In the Tracymobile?

In Gould’s stories when one criminal tried to keep secrets and hide things from the others usually bad things happen. Criminals, by their nature, tend not to be honorable and think of themselves first. There are exceptions, though, like Sprocket and Silver or Bribery and Ugly Christine.

Happy Easter ! May you sleep well and peacefully !
