Let’s see if I have this straight. Spacy is working on only one case. He heard that someone is giving out $1000 bills and he wants to find him. He gets into disguise to try to catch him, then encounters the person giving away the $1000 bills and is so shocked that someone is giving away $1000 bills that he fails to bother to stop or follow them. Yep. Think that’s it.
If Inspector Clouseau or Fearless Fosdick were stoned, they’d still do a better job than Spacy. Is the objective here to make Spacy look so pathetic that we all ask for a mercy killing?
OldTracy, You’ve hit the nail with the hammer ! Both Clouseau and parody Fosdick would have performed in a more intelligent way.
Now I’ll bet, we can expect a week or two of ‘circling the wagon’ with accusations that he’s David Dollarbills D’Bunkum.
Although it was surprising to note how Locher suddenly picked up the pacing on Sunday. All six panels going forward. Even SimpleSimon joyously ‘tooted his horn’ about it.And you can score that as the first observation he has got right.
Can’t wait to hear his reaction to the new POLICE building sign design just over the horizon.
“Have I found my man?” Well, duh macspacy. unless every homeless guy in macnapperville hands out $1000 bills – ya think maybe you did?
then in typical thick spacy fashion you lost him in matter of seconds. great work mac.
OldTracy, I’m at my wit’s end, too. I keep making guesses as though what Locher shows us contains actual clues, but I’m out of sanity-based notions.
So my guess du jour on Day 666 of Realism Held Hostage? This strip is Satanic propaganda. It springs from an alternate Spacyworld in which the Antichrist has held sway over humanity since the start of the millenium. Thick Travesty is on the trail of a group of closet Christians who seek to revive their religion by following its tenets. They practice charity, forswear material wealth and live among the poor, while growing long hair and beards in imitation of their spiritual master.
The evidence has been there all along! Consider that in medieval art demons are always shown with grotesque anatomical distortions. How else to explain Sam’s misplaced genitalia, Liz’s sinister horn-hair and Thick’s proliferation of oddly-placed hands? Why else would Thick obsess over a harmless act, when he could be investigating an unidentified corpse, possible embezzlement and industrial espionage? And above all, why else would Locher be doing his damnedest to drag this strip straight to Hell?
BB! We missed ya, man! Tell me what Macy is gonna do with the newlyfound grand? Get some bling for his chariot? Get some toot? Get stoned? He ain’t gonna turn it in, will he?
Just realized … chuckle … Thick will now run back to Police Hooters with the money … snicker … totally unaware that he has been watched and followed by D-cubed’s agents, who have been aware of his clumsy presence since he hit the streets. Tomorrow’s edition of all the papers will carry pictures of Thick taking a pay-off in that broad daylight rainstorm.

Locher must’ve burned himself out on Sunday’s strip because today’s is childish.

BASSMANBOB ! So good to see you back on this board.
I somehow missed your early post. Just now seen the comment by morrow !
Think your ‘being back’ is more meaningful than Dicks !

“Have I found my man?”
Well, since he just DISAPPEARED IN THE RAIN, I guess not, Dimwit.

The rain has stopped again ! And the coldest winter in 1000 years is on the way (Duck Al Gore !)
But it occurs to me that if Omama Care can force people to buy Health Insurance, it just might require Locher to return Tracy’s ‘signature’ hat …
All for his HEALTH of course !
