Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Freckles there seems uncertain about the new girl. Sprocket really seems uncertain about the Daddy Warbucks clone. Aaa, sheâll be running the place in a couple days.
She still doesnât really know anything about the job, except that itâs selling, which was written in the want ad. At least she has seen the oddly-behaving boss now.
Conversation between Susan and Sabrina. Susan: your boss sure is strange, I noticed he has no head phones on who is he talking to? Sabrina: " Heâs strange and we notice, strange, just the way he is". Or Sabrina could go Run DMC and say " Itâs like that and thatâs the he is".
What could top todayâs scene? Seeing this guy drink from a thermos the same brand of coffee, they have at MCU. Uh-huhâŚthatâs it! His symptoms came from drinking coffee loaded with caffine. All the more reason to switch to decaf.
When Susan gets back to the hotel or where ever She and Adam are staying. Adam: How did it go today? Susan: Fine, the boss has two-way conversations with himself. I can adjust to it. Adam: two-way conversations? Susan: yeah, the guy starts and finishes them. Adam: you donât think he has post traumatic stress syndrome? Susan: I donât think so, no body there mentioned if he had been in the military. He could be one of those âtrust fund babiesâ. Probably couldnât handle the social status.
âWho is that guy?â Susan whispered to Sabrina as Audie walked by, muttering to himself.
âHeâs this crazy guy I hired to just walk through with a clipboard every now and then.â
âWhy?â
Sabrina dropped her voice, âWell, some of what we do here is a bit sketchy. I tell everyone heâs in charge â so if the cops raid the place everyone points to him as the boss and the rest of us just claim weâre following orders. Heâs so loopy he thinks he is in charge.â
âDidnât work at Nuremberg.â Susan thought to herself as she planned to not come back tomorrow morning.
1-SABRA: Youâre in my chair. CHAINRING: Yeah. Shows initiative â like Iâm after your job. GREEN SHIRT:Wow. She mustâve been born in a chicken coop to be that âcockyâ.
2-AUDIE MURPHY: TALK TO THE HAND âCAUSE THE EARS AINâT LISTENING! HAND: I AINâT LISTENING EITHER! EARS: IâM LISTENING BUT IâM NOT HEARING â YOU KNOW, LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES SAYING âYOU SEE BUT YOU DONâT PERCEIVEâ
HAND: OH YOUâRE SO CLEVER, EARS! SMACK! TRY TO DO THAT! EARS: OWWW!
Boiler room mise en scène is well set for âSusan Keats,â though nominal supervisor Audie is a disturbing note for anyone not used to his auditory hallucinations. (Speaking of which, what percentage of Dick Tracy readers, a demographic skewed to the older side, will have recognized a line from a 1984 cult film, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension, a line not even mentioned in the IMDB âQuotesâ section?)
I still find reading Audie difficult, and am not at all sure whether he will eventuate as a villain or not (maybe just an unfortunate bystander when the smoke clears [not a reference to Canada being on fire and U.S. air fouled not only on East Coast, which gets the most news coverage from media based there, but also in the Midwest] and someone else has been the prime malefactor of this story as it lurches along from scene to unrelated scene)âŚ.

Iâm liking the girl in green next to âSusan.â I hope she plays a major part in this story instead of being a one-off background character.

Sprocket likes to be in touch with mother earth and sheâs thinking Audie is in touch with some other planet.

Audie is so far gone that it is amazing that he can hold any job.
