The Margies are apparently one of the sponsors of the costume contest.At first I thought that Big Margie was running a till for the snack bar that we see in the background but she’s probaby registering people for the costume contest instead.
Big Margie’s scheme involves not only a Ponzi scam but also some kind of insurance fraud: it’s the latter that worries me. For example, if her plan involved a phony fire, it could easily get out of hand and become super-deadly. Little Margie is complicit only because she trusts her smarter sister; she really has little concept of good or evil—she seems to have the mind of a child. Middle Margie for the moment remains an unknown factor. She probably “should” be part of the scheme, but there is as yet no evidence.
The cosplayers are a great bonus in this story. I bet Shelley is having a ball creating them all!
Risking jail for $10,000? Not believable given what we know. Big Margie appears to be the brains and little Martin the muscle. Who knows about middle Margie. I’m hoping for two more to pop up, Tiny Margie and Enormous Margie!
Gee, we go from trainloads of gold and million dollar heists, to $10,000…..divided by 3 yet. This will be like a vacation for Dick, lol……but still a fun story for us!
$13,000 = “rich?” (yes, I know for a lot of people that would be a good deal of money, but when we’re talking Tracy villains and schemes….)n The Margies are shaping up to be the lamest Tracy villains since that Puzzler character who was hacking Scramble cartoons a few years ago.

Insurance?

Here we go. Big Margie is planning a robbery combined with an insurance scam to net her $10,000. The 3 Margies are the villains.

I’m not immediately flashing on who today’s ‘Cameo Cosplayers’ are portraying, so someone else will need to step up.

That’s Pirate Captain ‘Straw Hat Luffy’ from ‘ONE PIECE’ to the right of ‘Big Margie’ in Panel One.

That Little Margie is one goony lookin’ broad but I love the rendering.
Coming on late after an extended phone call to say good morning, hot off the camp fire coffee, Bill !

What’s this? Skullduggery and nefarious doings at a cosplay convention? Tune in tomorrow – same hat-time, same hat-channel!

It sounds like LIttle Margie is a bit slow on the uptake. Pity she has to have such an evil sister. Sounds like Cinderrella with a twist.

Where is middle Margie? Is she part of it?
Little Margie seems to be part of it, but completely clueless.

Almost reminds me of the three bears from the Looney Tunes.

Off-Topic …
Anyone have a suggestion for a place where I could post the different icons I’ve used, where they’d all appear on the same page in a gallery format?
… for historical purposes.

We’re over 100 Comments for the day …
… which I’d feel better about if ‘LUANN’ weren’t already well past the 200 Comment mark.
