the entire MCU team seems to each be doing their thing to contribute yo the investigation, but Dick is doing the supervising while the crew are doing the grunt work…
But will this knowledge matter as the bomb or whatever will have gone off before they make that crucial link of Jr. being the cause of whatever calamity is slated to occur and by then Jr. will have his outbound flight assured by whoever is behind all this skulldugging malarakey.
And he always carries equipment with him for disabling security cameras, ‘cause he knows the TA cops are deaf and too busy watching cat videos on their cell phones to notice a murder behind the door they’re supposed to be watching – but the cameras would have picked it up.
Totten was there to bail out a real employee. Pretty amazing coincidence. How did he know Spring-heeled Jack would be there, why did he want to murder the terrorist, what was Springy after? ESP at work.
Still makes less than Col. Mustard in the kitchen with a lead pipe.
135th Airborne was one of many deception formations the US Army created during World War II. Its emblem was a tarantula against a yellow background, which we have seen on Junior’s ring.
How shocking, Tater-tot was an electrician. Which, while it partially explains being able to read 70 something year old circuit diagrams, does nothing for the revolting excuse for writing that this story shows.
1- DT: YIKES! DUCK LIZZ! HE’S GOT A BEAD ON YOU! LIZZ: SETTLE DOWN! I’m just playing Call Of Doody – a First Person Shooter game…
2- : …See? Here’s the squad I assembled. This one here is me. DT: You’re a guy? LIZ: Yeah. Wanna see what I’m packing in the shorts? It’s one of the options like the kind of weapons you get and…
3- : …who your boyfriend is. Here’s mine. DT: Hmmmm…I would a picked… WAIT A MINUTE! SHOULDN’T YOU BE WORKING ON THE CASE??? LIZZ: Done! I reclassified it as a Cold Case yesterday and sent it back to Homicide.
DT: Oh. Uh…good. LIZZ: BAM BAM BAM! TAKE THAT, SAM!
DT: You named your boyfriend “Sam”? Uhhh – he seems to like it “rough”… LIZZ: Yeah he does!
The cameras would have to be wireless for the jammer to work. Coax is shielded, so the souce would have to be very powerful compared to jamming 2.4 a 5 Ghz signals, a leaky microwave could do that in the right setting. I would have used LED Infrared emitters, myself. Sewn into the brim of a hat and parts of a sport coat they would wipe out any cameras view of my face and body, without running afoul of the FCC!
Electronic Counter-Measures means that he was a jammer. There has to be some kind of wave, usually RF, but also infrared and others, in order to jam. This means he was likely MOS 98G (back in the day) or 35P these days.
I’ll be curious to see how he managed to jam a wireless security camera without disrupting all other wireless communications in the neighborhood. Most jammers are not directional, you just blast out your own wave, hoping to disrupt target comms.
But this is a comic strip so hey, ho, let’s go! Jam away!

Okay, Junior is an electronics expert—-which fingers him as being capable of disabling cameras just before committing a murder.
Art a little hazy in the long distance shots, but another piece of the jigsaw is in place.

Like Lee, Lizz has embraced that nail polish that’s the same color as your finger. A new fashion trend revealed on Dick Tracy of all places!

No such outfit as the 135th Airborne…obviously the artists are keeping reality at bay.
