I learn so much reading comics. Today the word " Virago" – a loud overbearing woman : termagant. 2. : a woman of great stature, strength, and courage. viraginous.
Finally the “Darbies” (handcuffs) are placed on the fat guy. I wonder how many sets of cuffs Sam had to use – two minimum, three sets maybe. The action was over too quick. What happened to Mr. Borden?
Well, are all 3 of them under arrest? I’m not so sure that Bordy will be in much hot water except possibly with the misses if he has one. Apparently he shot the gun but didn’t hit anyone. The lovely hat lady brought the gun and held it against big boy but she didn’t fire it. Being a floozie and playing around isn’t “arrest worthy.” Gabe is the blackmailer and he assaulted Mizz Duivel. They could charge him with attempted murder I suppose. I’m just assuming they’re all under arrest until Tracy and company figure out who done what…
Looks like Borden was free to go. Well, he is the owner of the local baseball team, and he provides luxury box seats for city officials, including the police.
I was watching one of those police videos on you tube yesterday and the woman being arrested was screaming that she was non-verbal and so couldn’t be arrested or questioned.
Both arrested without incident, eh? Why couldn’t we see a little bit of a fight or at least some resistence to the cops? Why must we always be told instead of shown? It is quite a conundrum: An action strip with hardly any action.
Best wishes for a successful surgery and recovery. When you’re well and your doctor approves it, consider donating blood. Many life saving surgeries and emergency situations (like Flight for Life) required blood transfusions. (Retired hospital healthcare, spouse of an OR nurse and blood donor for 30+ years).

WOW! What a dud of a finish. What made me think that Gutman would put up a fight? Eric fooled me again. Is he going to leave Cherry and Sarah in the wind? Probably…
Someone posted that CK indicates another week or so of this saga. Maybe, just maybe some of this mish-mash will then be explained. On the other hand, maybe it’s over. We lose either way. Go back to graphics Mr. Costello, pleeeze

2- DT: I hate family squabbles! Why can’t you all work this out in a reasonable manner? SUPER TRAMP: WE’RE NOT RELATED! DT: Really? My keen sense of perception indicated a family resemblance. OH! I’m confusing Tubby’s mustache and goatee with your lack of “personal” grooming, madam.
SUPER TRAMP: YOU RELEASED THE PHOTOS OF ME AND BORDEN??? YOU FAT BASTERD! MR. TWOBYFOUR: Important decisions are made on the basis of the information I provide, madam!
SAM: That’s true. I decided to buy two issues of Tubby’s Town Topix in case I wore one out while rubbing one out! MR. TWOBYFOUR: EXACTLY MY GOOD FELLOW!

in the second panel, Dick has the look of irritation at hearing all the whining and doesn’t want to put up with anyone’s schitt at the moment…
and where is that puss, Ball-less Bordo?…

Ha! Tracy doesn’t know what Virago means so he told him to shut it.
Psst – What does Virago mean?

Borden was so meek, Tracy thought he was a bystander and told him to go home and stop interfering with police business.
