Police now days more than ever live in a world of split second decisions. It has been proven a person within 21 feet can run at you and stab you before you can draw, present, and fire a gun. That is why parking lots are so dangerous, we are used to strangers getting close to us.
Unfortunately, police live in a world of strangers approaching and getting close to them.
If this story is set before modern times, since when would a female police officer be on patrol, at all. Much less by herself. Isn’t a fact that female officers weren’t allowed to do many of the things male officers are until more recent times?
If Sal, Big Boy, Cut, and Muscle are half brothers and all have the last name Famon (Famoni), then Maw was not the mother of them all.
Maw, Muscle and Cut were holed up in Maw’s house and a shootout broke out between them and an army of police Tracy had brought to the scene. Muscle was killed in this shootout. Maw, who would do anything to protect her boys and brought them up to hate police, swapped clothes with Cut and they both made a break for it out the back door. Tracy ordered the police not to shoot the woman fill the man full of lead so the cops all shot at Maw dressed as Cut while Cut dressed as Maw escaped. He was later caught and killed by Tracy who infiltrated his gang in disguise but Tracy took a bullet in the leg and lost a lot of blood. The story ended some time after Cut’s death when Tracy finally regained consciousness and pulled through.
Consequently, Sal and Big Boy must have had a different mother according to Jim’s retcon.
Sisyphos Is Officer Hart’s murder to be attributed to the Suburban Slasher? Or is it a completely separate incident? With only a little over a week left in the MM, I don’t see that we have time for old-time Tracy to solve all these, nor even for present-day interviewee Tracy to describe all in detail.
Hurry! Hurry! Scurry! Scurry! We don’t want to be late for a very important date!
Weegel @Sidyphos The Suburban Slasher story was prose story (written by me) that appeared in Mike and Joe’s PLAINCLOTHES site.
The murder of Officer Adrienne Hart is a case separate and distinct from the Slasher, a case that apparently ties in to Homeville’s Organized Crime elements.
Ray Toler @Weegel >/b>…and you believe that by referencing your other fan fiction writings in this Minit Mystery you have placed them into the DT Canon?
Weegel @Ray Toler That was precisely why I placed them there. And, it wasn’t strictly speaking, fanfic, though I have written such. It was more in the nature of a professional audition. Mike’s and Joe’s strip story in the same website became their first story in the official strip. Do you regard that as fanfic?
Okay, I realize this is a fictional cartoon, and “diversity” is the new buzzword, but is the “Mystery” going to be In what USA location would you find an African American Female, riding ALONE in her car in the 1930s.? Wrong on so many levels. Geez
Ruger .22 with hollow-points and suppressor (often mis-called “silencer”). But usually for a pro two behind the ear suffice. Six seems meant to make a statement….
Officer Hart either had something on the Mob or was just too effective in stopping their activity on her beat.
.22 revolver would be a better choice, no shell casings ejected at the scene; and 2 to the base of the skull was the preferred execution style…any more was a crime of passion or sloppy workmanship.
“Who drove alongside her car on her midnight shift” makes it sound like she was driving and he pulled up alongside her to shoot her, when in the panel, she is sitting in the car doing paperwork. Unless shes recording the miles she had driven during her shift, then wouldn’t that paperwork be handled INSIDE the hq and not in the car?

Good morning™, midnight shift!
It’s amazing when you can ask your victims to verify their identity before you kill them.

Good morning lady ex cops !
And people wonder why cops are antsy in questionable locales and even get that all too common now-a-times itchy trigger finger.

Were there black women as police officers at the time this story is supposed to take place?

Wonder what she did as the killer was specifically looking for her.

Is that the famous crime scene street photographer Weegee in the last panel with the 30’s style flash camera?
