    Good morningā„¢, all!

    Well, if unnamed Tonsils impersonator is dealing drugs, at least we donā€™t have a plot whose sole objective is murdering Tracy. This is an unexpected development, though.

    Good morningā„¢, dirty dealers !

    Looks like fake Tonsils has a more lucrative line than his lame music shtick. The stooge in P. 2. has a simian looking face.

    Okay. So both new characters are criminals.

    As Niel said, at least this isnā€™t a kill-Dick-Tracy story.

    Still, why the need to dig up old characters? Mike could have done this with new characters ā€“ and a better excuse for Flintheart to not have known the backstory!

    For some reason Iā€™ve been thinking that thereā€™s a third player, someone in charge of Tonsils, someone setting it all up.

    But now maybe not, maybe the Tonsils impersonator is in charge of his own doing.

    And Coffyhead thinks someone ELSE has distinctive looks? Mind you, he doesnā€™t look much like the old coffee pothead.

    Plegerā€™s drawings are slick today. And Mikeā€™s story is accelerating its pace nicely. The subtle plot twist of today was a pleasant one. I am happy with Team Tracyā€™s work here.

    Mike just connected the 2 most important characters in his tale. Now letā€™s let him explain the connection.

    The 2 most important characters aside from Tracy, that is to say.

    Suddenly there is a shout of, ā€œHands up! This is the police.ā€

    The perps freeze in place as the cops come out to collar them. Sam checks out the evidence to get his fingerprints on it. ā€œUh, Tracy? We got a problem. This is coffee.ā€

    ā€œItalian roast,ā€ Coffyhead snarls, ā€œfresh roasted! I need to get to a burr coffee grinder and an espresso machine ā€“ fast. My drug of choice is caffeine!ā€

    Of course ā€“ this is Tracytown! Thereā€™s a large population of criminals, criminal wanna-bes, or sad sacks mixed up with them somehowā€¦

    So, dealing drugs is how Coffeehead supports his habit.

    Well, this explains the hyper arms. Sampling the goods?On that good side, if he runs into a crowd during a heated chase, thatā€™d make picking him out easy.

    So let me get this straightā€¦we have a new singer that looks like the old Tonsils, and a person calling himself Coffeehead, but doesnā€™t look like the previous one. Right?

    1-LUIGI THE UBER DRIVER: If Iā€™m going to wait while you score then I expect a 5 Star rating!

    COFFEE HEAD: Weā€™ll see. You made us late when we stopped by your house soā€™s you could grab a coat. LUIGI: I thought I could take it. I couldnā€™t.

    2-ASTRO ANDREWS: (In his best Bing Crosby lilt) YOU felLOWS here FOR an AUtoGRAPH? ā™Ŗā™Ŗā™«

    COFFEE HEAD: WHAT THEā€¦? DONā€™T PLAY WITH ME BOY! Whereā€™s my ā€˜stuffā€™ and the two free tickets to the Ed Sullivan Tribute Show you promised?

    ASTRO: You have to ask for an autograph first.

    COFFEE: WHAT? FINE! GIMME AN AUTOGRAPH!

    ASTRO: Pleaseā€¦ COFFEE: ARRRRGHHH! PLEASE!

    LUIGI: HEY! YOUā€™RE THE GUY WHO IMPERSONATES THE GUY WHO HAD A HIT WITH GROOM YOUR POODLE 50 YEARS AGO! Can I get an autograph for my Ma?!? She loved that song!

    ASTRO: Now, THATā€™S how you ask for an autograph! Sure! And let her know Iā€™m available for a ā€œroll in the hayā€ at reasonable prices if she wants her teenaged fantasies to come true before she kicks.

    LUIGI: Oh, Ma will DEFINITELY be interested in that!!!

    Soā€¦why would they be there other than for business? Do they like visiting deserted warehouses just for fun?

    I suspect thereā€™s more here than just a couple of old characters. Thereā€™s no reason for Tracy to be upset by a Tonsils impersonator. How often has Tracyā€™s life been threatened and heā€™s walked through the Tracy collection without being set off? Itā€™s not just in bad taste. I think Tracy senses somethingā€™s wrong and here it is.

    All that rehearsing of the one song must have been the reason he previously was a no-show. (no pun intended)

    Vitamin was ā€œon vacationā€ from 1950-1978.

    Maybe he was in California

    Tonsils 2ā€”-aw,nuts.heā€™s a bad guy.

    Was looking forward to people being stuck on a cruise ship with him.

    Ah,well.Vitamin can always sign a Nervous Norvous impersonator.

    The syndicate has relaxed in some ways.Max Collins wroteme many times that he was forbidden to write narcotics ring stories .

    About ā€œchoice of villainsā€

    When they use an old days character,they say why not create new ones instead?

    When they create new ones,people say they canā€™t hold a candle to t he old ones.

    The creators of the strip may sometimes be tempted to take up zucchini farming instead.

    Many old characters are being brought back, but one of the best, B.O. Plenty has been seen very little since DL left. Also Dickā€™s family is seldom seen. I was among those fans who were delighted when the strip continued after he departed. I really donā€™t like it very much anymore. I hope it continues for those who are still fans, but it wouldnā€™t bother me if it were dropped.

    Little does Tracy suspect Yeti was Vitamin before he shaved off all the foliage heā€™d cultivated in England.

    Will Coffeyhead test the product & give his unvarnished review with the Tonsils impersonator, the way he did with the barista?

    It is refreshing to see that the so-far nameless Tonsils impersonator is something more than just that! Drug dealers are scum, but being one gives some unexpected depth to the faux-Tonsils and also give him a bigger part in this story. Consequently, I now think he will last longer, deeper, into the story than I initially expected. In the long run, though, I still think he is not likely to surviveā€¦.
