Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Sue Reel is like, āNobody tells me anything.ā Sheās right, actually. She didnāt really participate in planning the crime. She believes Artās lie that Paul Chandler is still alive. Iām sure that Lee knows that Paul is dead.
Suzy Q. is so behind on Artās dealings. She is surely or very nearly so, going to walk or at least get off light since she is helping the po po and there doesnāt really seem to be much that she can get hung up or over on.
āAnd your role in this āDaVinci jobā was what, exactly?ā
āTo know just enough information about the plan to feed Dick Tracy another effortless win while being detached enough from the crime to retain audience sympathy. Honestly, I thought it was kind of strange that Art felt the team needed a useless traitor for the job, but he just kept saying he didnāt get this far by fostering loyalty or common sense, so what can you do?ā
Now it can be toldā¦Art kept her in the dark about his other activities with the exception of the Da Vinci thing. His slogan must be the less my comrades knowā¦the less the authorities wonāt have all the dots to connect me with anything.
Once I drag my lazy self out of bed (in my defense itās only 6:45am and Iāve been awake for less than 40 minutesā¦.dont judge me lol) Iām going to post chapter seven of Trouble In Paradise on my message board
I re-read the first 6 chapters and in the beginning I realized that I may have made a mistake by having tracy respond to the call from Eikoā¦but then I noticed that I set the wrestling match for two weeks after the introduction, so chronologically he would be thereā¦but Sam is still in chargeā¦.something I will address in chapter 7 later this morning
I also realized that I unintentionally left the storyline on Tracyās vacation danglingā¦so that will probably end up being a āflashback storyā for the next one after Trouble In Paradise wraps up
The TRUE mastermind is arch-baker and counterfeiter Vincent Van Dough. Who, in his everyday identity fights a never ending battle for lies, profits and anchovy pizza with little pineapple chunks shaped like friendly little poodles on thee top. Maybe with a sprinkling of Red Hots.
Hey, donāt blame ME! HEāS the sicko. Poodles. Brrrr!
Mike clearly has gotten to like Art and Sue and is trying to finagle ways to extend their story and/or set things up so they could plausibly return in the future.
2-ā¦about that āmustache rideā you enjoyed while we waited to see if Tracyā¦ LEE: SHADDAP! Theyāre listening!
3-SUE:Oh! Gotcha! Who are you? Whatās your name? Can we go get a coffee and discuss where our relationship is going? OOPS!
BLAM BLAM BLAM!
LEE: She was coming over the table! I had to protect myself!
TRACY THROUGH INTERCOM: Youāre not supposed to have a gun in an interview and the suspect shouldāve been cuffed to the table. Remind me to schedule a protocol meeting, Sam. Sam? Whereās Sam???
Maybe itās just the ākinder and gentler natureā of the modern strip,but Lee seems to have a talent for EASING facts out ofpeople rather than breaking out the old rubber hose.
They should pipe Dekkoās interrogation into Sueās cubicle so shecan see how much he ācaresā about her.
The question has been frequently asked about Sue Reelās mustache, OK , I heard it said by a person not authorized to comment, when she goes out on the town she puts pretty pink bows on both sides of it!
Todayās installment would make a lot more sense if we knew what transpired in that first conversation, or interview, between Tracy and Sue. But Mike didnāt see fit to let us in on any of that ā so we donāt really know why Sue thought of calling Tracy when Art started to lose it. What did Tracy tell her in that first conversation? Something that might have put her on alert? Why must we constantly speculate about these things?
Sue Reel is either a very good liar or a genuinely naive blonde (with a disgusting mustache). She professes, in effect, to know nothing beyond the initial āda Vinciā scheme. If she is telling the truth, she may escape prosecution, or at least get off with no significant amount of jail time. Can Lee Ebony determine whether Sue is telling her the truth (or not)? Will she let Reel know about the so-far mysterious murder of Paul Chandler? Cui bono?
OT: Youāll be glad to know Iāve put Yeti to bed, so to speak. Just finished the second of three book in the series, and in the final one, he cameos as a lowly flunky for a revenge-driven fiend. Think Iāll make him the palace toilet cleaner.
My motto?If you cant KILL āem, humiliate āem! Works for small house pets too.

I donāt believe Art ever told Sue that Chandler was dead, at least not on camera. So I think sheās being pretty straightforward here.
