introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Apparently the Stuka has now tipped back onto itâs belly. Which one is live? probably the stiff lying down. Anja would not be believable. Never heard the shots!! And no silencers either.
Panel 3: Weird perspective. Instead of someone trapped under the plane, it looks like the legs are upright, that the Stuka grew legs and is tap-dancing.

In inflicting pain that canât be stopped
The Tracy strip canât be topped
From inane dialogue and insane plots
It makes a reader want to plotz
As the Stuka dances a little jig
Wishing that it were a Mig
Lizz certainly does seem surprised
To find that Tracy is not demised
His death she had greatly hoped
âcause he is really such a dope
The canopy is repaired again
Itâs another continuity sin
Now where have I seen that shape before
Why itâs the rear turret on a B-24
Johnny Nothing has been shot
Then he fell, the distance was quite a lot
Still he lives, and by the plane he was missed
You would think he would have been squished.
Thanks Panel-Panner and (?) Margueritem from yesterday.
Good observation on the dancing Stuka, PP.
Liz, you really donât want to know what Tracy was doing in there. Trust me on this. Further, Tracy really doesnât want you to know what he was doing in there.
Locher, the rest of us still want to know: Anja was firing at the Blank, then aiming at Tracy, from the left rear of the aircraft. At that position, there should have been no way for the plane to hit her. She had to run several feet to get under the nose of the plane once it started to fallâŚ. maybe a sudden impulse to off herself?
Those look like a womanâs shoes in the last panel, though that means nothing.
I have to agree with Radish. I think Anja survives at least long enough to explain why she wanted to kill Tracy.
Gould used to draw Lizz with a âheart shapedâ face not square jawed like she shares with Tracy. Also we never saw her pupils but had that curly q joining of eye/lash almost question mark like. She was also drawn almost always in the most provacative sexy dresses. I really dislike the way Locher has changed and made Lizz to look. Ugh!

Well, 436 I canât wrap my brain around the fact that Lizz looks different in every panel she appears in. Itâs like snowflakes, no two Lizzes are alike! No consistency.
Sad thing is this story is so carelessly written the dead body on the stage wonât even be âMENTIONEDâ again !
Think about that, on July 17th asTracy on stage, bandage on head, apologises to the audience for the long intermission
And hear the laughable rational (motive) for Anjaâs action -* âshe wanted to be in the spotlightâ!*
Is she perchance the grand-daughter of Selbert Depool (1941) With most of his life in an Insane Asylum we canât even be sure if he was ever got in with a woman !

Relevance to Dick Tracy (?) :
In a recent interview Mort Walker implied that his early success spured him to keep on doing better and stated that âIf youâre not moving forward in this business. youâre moving backwardâ
Dick L. Somehow got it all âmixed upâ. Tracyâs not moving forward to catch a bad guy heâs just running away till the bad guy gets killed by someone else, who he said, did it â âjust to be in the âSPOTLIGHTâ !
I was thinking the Blank had to be dead. He was standing on the fuselage just aft of the canopy when he was shot. No way to brace himself. From that height, even a flesh wound results in an uncontrolled fall which has to be fatalâ probably a broken neck if nothing else.
Anja got crushed under the nose of the planeâ donât ask howâ so of course sheâs dead.
The guy Locher forgot died early on in this story and was ignored, even though the audience was full of cops. So, of course heâs dead.
That leaves Tracy. He rode the plane down, and even given the miracle of getting back into the plane while itâs falling he wouldnât have had time to strap himself in, so now heâs hurting and wishing he were dead. If Liz ever figures out how Tracy spent his time, she just might be inclined to fulfill that wish.

Panel 2 - âWhat in the world are you doing there?â
Waiting for a streetcar. Haw! Haw! Haw!
Panel 3 - Two bodies? Nothing makes 1. Anja makes 2, DT makes 3. I guess DT is the one thatâs still alive.
But I tell ya one dang thang. The plot is a whole lot easier to follow than Brenda Starr.
And the plane landed before Gertie caught her crooks.

Not much to boast about. !
