Now it would be fun if the gun-wielding woman turned out to be Mona the Mouthpiece, having become much more aggressive since she turned to smaller hats . . .
It’s over when the fat man screams ! Tomorrow the gun flashes only it is Lee shooting the gun from Duval’s hand or maybe Tracy popping one off in the air (no bleeding there) to announce his arrival. Being the star of the show Dick should always show up at the climax, with flair.
That’s what Gabriel gets for interfering with Ms. Duviel’s rightful inheritance. There wouldn’t be much point in getting Boredom to marry her and then “accidentally” fall off the Fiesta Deck of the honeymoon cruise if he gives all the money away first.
Oh my God! A genuine Film Noir strip – with perfect tough dame dialogue! (I picked the right day to look in on Tracy! Of course, Tracy will bust in before anything violent can happen, but for now, I’ll savor this strip.)
1- BORDO: Yeah – you’re gonna get it now, boy…uh. Hang on. I gotta gun in here somewhere…
2-: NO MATTER! I CAN TAKE YOU OUT WITH THIS THINGEE! Might take a while though.
3- THE MASKED TABLE TURNER: I’ll take that, moron! HA! You two thought I was – in Fatty’s case – nothing more than a cog in your blackmail scheme or – in BORED-O’s case – the hottest piece you’d ever get! Well, this whole time I’ve been playing you against one another to get to this payday! MEN ARE SO STOOPID!

now Gabe can’t be THAT stupid, as to not anticipate a situation like THIS happening…
I’m sure he ALWAYS plans for any and every eventuality…
I get the impression that he looks at the big picture and the long game…

Good morning™, all!
This is already more than just a two-way confrontation and I think it’s about to get even more complicated once the police get into the act.
I assume that the USB drive has the key to the cryptocurrency, for those worried that the crypto has been forgotten from the story.

Looks like Eline took some punishment in that fight…but not so much she can’t give Gabriel a fatal dose of lead poisoning.

With the new Deadpool movie coming out, thinking that gun is close enough to have “Smile, wait for the flash” etched around the muzzle for all to see!

Will Charles be on the carpet with GC bigshots for showing a pistol pointing out at the audience ?

Today’s strip is excellente. All 3 panels look fantastic! Mizz Van Duivel looks bad a$$ in that 3rd panel! Kudos to Eric and Charles!

Oops, I was mistaken. I thought it would be Tracy recording the conversation, and busting him.

you know, now I’m starting to think Bordy IS packing a gun in his case, but Ms Drivel beat him to the draw…
see what I did there?…
