    Clearly Howell and Jimmy are deplorable and vile

    Was they who sent the shooter. Been waiting for a while

    For news of death of Frieda Frisk, their records she did find

    The baby merchants mutter now. Unscrupulous. Unkind.

    Frisk has got the lowdown. No if, and, but, or maybe

    Truth for Lizz is gratis. Revealed as a Howell baby.

    Good morning™, Sunday readers!

    Eduard Delacroix was one of the main characters in Stephen King’s novel, The Green Mile. I wonder if that’s an intentional reference. Eduard was sentenced for murdering his family.

    Forsooth! It doth seem to be, the time to share our poetry…

    “There’s something about Frieda,

    Like there was ‘Something About Mary.’

    Perhaps that is just hair gel,

    ‘Cause she really is quite scary.

    Lest she has dreamed to fit right in,

    With Curly, Moe, and Larry.

    Don’t sit too close or lose an eye,

    You’ll need to keep quite wary.”

    Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk…

    I find that response odd “She was always very nice to me” almost…autistic.

    I find it interesting to see how Frisk is drawn compared to the others. We’ve already had a number of crossovers where characters interacted while being drawn in wildly different styles. But here it happens even though all the characters are original with Dick Tracy. Frisk has that particular jagged and angled style of Dick Locher, while others go more back to Gould himself.

    “Lizz was always very nice to me.” For one thing, she’s working with me to make my hair look less like blonde crabgrass.

    Sovereign citizen?

    Is that some new way of saying domestic terrorist?

    Here is more about the incident in Casper, Wyoming, involving Randi Garrett:

    https://trib.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/casper-police-release-video-of-man-shooting-officer-say-second/article_403e6582-fff3-501f-9424-cd4a6d1d6a14.html

    The other officer nearly died (his heart stopped multiple times on the operating table) and was off-duty for 6 months.

    I was confused about the “sovereign citizen” description. I found out that a sovereign citizen us one who basically believes that he or she is above the law. Here’s a good discussion of the phenomenon:

    Another Take  about 5 years ago

    1-DT: I didn’t know you did Speed Dating!

    PRIMM: Really Tracy? We got 60 seconds to make a connection and that’s your open?

    2-DT: I might start slow but I end like a house on fire baby.

    3-PRIMM: You better have a gas can handy because the heat you’re putting off wouldn’t brown a piece of white paper.

    4-DT: Well then, put it this way. We either make a date and call it quits for the day or one of us has to go over and speed date that guy with the dating Cliff Notes.

    5-PRIMM: Well played Tracy. So? Dinner at 7?

    Not feeling the depiction of Det. Friske in today’s strip.

    Detective Friske is the narrative equivalent of a black hole, sucking up all narrative drive and suspense, & leaving a void.

    Frieda Frisk has an overwhelmingly androgynous look today. In fact, at first glance, I didn’t even recognize that it was Frieda: I thought Tracy was questioning some (new) ill-groomed blond gangster. And while the dailies’ version of “Glenn Close” Frisk reads as a strong, silent type ex-cop turned PI, this Sunday variant does indeed hint at her being a lesbian, especially in that odd last panel statement.

    That should be irrelevant to the Howell babies case, unless Clair makes use of it….
