So I’m to assume that an explosion will happen the second that the tower lights up? The governor is probably standing in a dangerous spot, but Totten has gone elsewhere.
Is that a light I see? Is it the end of this long, dark tunnel?
No, it’s the light of a clock tower which has already been lit before, at a press conference held during the day to show off the beauty of the lighted tower at night.
Still, I’m optimistic we’ll soon behold the dénouement, followed by a brief period of unrealistic optimism before our dreams are once again shattered.
Don’t worru Gov, since you are a politican, by the time you finish talking it will be dark and folks will be able to see the clock lights.
In the mean time, we the readers, find out that Team Tracy secretly removed the fictional xylon*, that, after 70 years, had degraded to the point that it was no more dangerous than a glass of 2¢ plain.
*xylon is a Greek word that means wood, and was also the name given to ancient punishment / torture devices similar to the pillory, or possibly this storyline.
1- FRED JR: Can anyone see that I’ve been working out my mouth muscles? Look how “swole” they are! GUY TO FRED JR’s RIGHT: I can! I can! So jacked! WOMAN BEHIND HIM: TIGHT BUNS TOO! FRED JR: Thanks. Well I gotta blow… Ummm, I mean that in the slang sense of “leave”. Whewf! Close one…
2- LIZZO: I wasn’t close enough to see Fred Jr’s ripped jaw muscles. Were they impressive?
3- CAB DRIVER: I guess. I just thought he had the mumps or had just had some dental surgery. So…did you need a cab or not?
OFFICER: The Governor is about to tell that long and pointless story about his little dog ,and the time it ate his souvenir tribbles and coated the living room with fake fur and googly eyes, when it threw up. AND that it looked ‘soooo cute ’ when he dressed it as Teddy Roosevelt. And then he does that little Red Buttons dance and the hand gestures. For now, I’m just gonna’ scream. And next time, I vote for a potato.

Panel 2 is comical after seeing Fred Jr at the podium in P1. Where is he?!?! Oh. Right there. Never mind….
(I know – P3 explains Lizzo’s dimbulb P2 moment…)
