    Well, I think the text “José Marti Habana” is a bit too obviously typed into the picture.

    Specs should be happy to get a ride in a nice-looking executive jet (even if it is a ride to jail and he has an terrible headache).

    Now or never for Ivanov. Will he admit to taking the glasses?

    By the way, I think it’s simply brilliant of Joe and Mike to create a character, Spicy based on Chester Gould’s daughter Jean. Very nice tribute by them.

    It is clear that Ivanov took it but I was hoping that he would hand it to Tracy. Well he has his duties to fulfill. Maybe he would return it after his bosses had a look at it.

    I suspect that Tracy has a nasty surprise waiting when he arrives back in Chi—er, the City!

    I predict that Ivanov will now hand over the glasses to Diet.

    *ONLY** 14 comments so far?!?!? Geez, todays strip must be a let down! BTW, I searched the last few days and NOWHERE did it show ivanov having the goggles so I don’t know what everyone was speculating about the other day..unless I missed it (which I doubt since I went back to before the explosion scene)

    Panel 2 – On Specs and Spicy . . .Diet: “It will be up to the Courts to decide”

    That leaves something of a “Puzzle”, a Big Question Mark (?)For what exactly, did two detectives (Russian/American) fly to Cuba to apprehend them ? Suspicion of ‘what’ American crime ? Stealing a pair of Goggles. Information picked up from street “hear say” ?Or is it, on suspicion of ‘aiding and abetting’ in a Bank robbery that has not been SEEN to be investigated by anyone in the strip

    Have a vague recollection of John Locher ‘blowing a whistle’ on them on going to Cuba, but the Weight and Significance of their Crime - (to trigger/justify pursuit - to another country) remains fuzzy ! (?)

    Maybe, it’s function of Old Age (?) But it ‘eludes’ me !

    Sorry, I meant to say Spicy asked specifically about the goggles, and it didn’t happen until Tuesday’s strip.

    So – will we ever see Specs’ eyes? (And will they be the pinwheel Lunarian peepers?)

    I’d guess that DJ stole the glasses, and has sent them on to the Apparatus. That way, DJ will make some profit, even if the casino job went bust.

    According to an article from the Sun-Sentinel there is an agreement that was signed in 1904 but was suspended in the ’60’s when Fidel came into power. As of right now extradition from Cuba is almost impossible to do. I can’t post the link as I am on my tablet.

    Good of old Diet to have his private jet waiting in Cuba to pick up Tracy and the entourage. This could turn into a rather interesting flight back, if certain birdies start to sing….

    @ Neil Wick

    @ Charlie

    Well here it was, that I was hoping it would transpire that I’d overlooked some EVIDENCE that would provide some well reasoned “justification” - for a High Powered team of Detectives to go to Cuba. ! (?)

    Had it been Bonnie and Clyde boasting a long list of “murders” (including 9 police men) and witnesses to those crimes, one could easily appreciate an effort of this magnitude !But that doesn’t seem to be the case here . . .The “weak” justifications ‘floated out’ here were . . .

    “PRESUMPTION”“STRONGLY IMPLIED”But they all seemed so shallow - No evidence ! ?? No witness who saw and could put a hand on the Bible ! ??

    So, what’s the “charge” then ? Petty theft ?For accepting (in good faith) glasses offered to him on a Tray?One would have hoped that (on April 30) Porfiry might have elaborated on EXACTLY what - the ‘Initial Crime’ in Tracy’s country WAS (and who had ‘observed’ it ?)Shudder to think that a top KGB man was coming to A Crime conclusions based on - “Hear Say” (?)

    Diet ‘said’ “the Courts will have to decide”But On What ?My guess IS, we’ll never hear “another word” about this Before we realize it - Tracy will have done another Speeding Bullet - and be there “tangling” with Notta Chin Chillar

    Not a “spec” more on Specs and Spicy !

    My Apologies !

    The ‘date’ mentioned in my above post - should have READ “March 30”.

    Afraid, I’ve done “my own” Speeding Bullet and jumped a Month ahead ;-)
