So, just taking inventory today, we have a man’s footprints going both ways and gunpowder on the back of his fingertips. I’m not sure what we’ve learned.
Shot in the forehead? That does make it seem more like a homicide … I’m far from a gun expert, but it seems to me you really have to twist your arm & gun hand around to aim a shot directly in front of your face, & essentially pull the trigger from behind, unlike, say, aiming the barrel at one of your side temples. On that sunny note, enjoy your Sunday breakfast everyone!
Obviously this Tracy adventure took place a long time ago, perhaps the 1960’s or early 1970’s – not a latex glove in sight or being worn by any police. The doctor handling the victim with his bare hands- just lovely (gross) ! .If set in present time Tracy will have a special topic to present at the Police Conference he is attending being :“Crime scene preservation and DNA procedures” to be followed.
The murder happened, the Argintine Police finally got there and found the cleaning lady buffering the floor around the body. Fortunately Inspector Noname knew Dick Tracy was in town attending CopCom, so Tracy was pulled away from his seminar on letting criminals escape because Inspector Noname and his entire police force are too baffled and incompetent to solve a perceived murder or suicide and only the famed Dick Tracy can solve something so odd and complicated before he leaves town. Currently the coroner is finally examining the body which has apparently been lying there the entire time that everything else I described takes place.
1- EENSPECTOR: Permeet me to summate the see-tu-ation, Senor Deek…
2-: …But first allow me to pull the body away from the chair as it detracts from the scene of the … place where no crime was committed.
3- DEEK TRACY: Yes. That helps a lot. I can now better see that he is indeed dead. Why was he wearing a blanket though? It’s hot in here! EENSPECTOR: Then why are you wearing a coat? DEEK: Touche~
4- EENSPECTOR: But let us first geet a medical opinion. HERR EICHMANN: I can confirm from my vast experience in my previous occupation that er ist TOT! KAPUTT! KEIN MEHR MEIN HERR!
5- HERR EICHMANN: I haff alzo confirmed that he has no pulse, ja? Und alzo, the presence of a hole in his head where one probably should not be… DEEK: Excellent work. I could use you in Tracyville, Herr Eichmann. HERR EICHMANN: Nein, danke! I am safe…I mean “happy” here!
What was the guy firing? A black powder pistol? Unless there are powder burns from the muzzle flash at close range, the powder residue on the hand that fire the pistol are invisible and only show up in tests… Also, what’s with the can of beans? Should we be singing “Hand Me Down That Can of Beans” from “Paint your wagon”?

This story is almost as cockamamie as;
*The idea that Firestrike was a stud as a young man!
*Suggesting that Gweedo’s goats enjoy their occupation!
*Believing that Neil thinks the strip is not perfection!
*Thinking that someone out there actually enjoys JPUZZLEWHIZ’s super lame jokes!

The body has been laying there the whole time?

Well unless Miss Randal was wearing men’s shoes, she’s off the list.
Looks like someone rendered the victim unconscious then used his own hand to fire the fatal shot.
