“Ye gods” or “Egads,” but not “Ye gads” or “Egods.”
Maybe Tracy is trying to emulate that British inspector he just met.
Or maybe Diet’s new weapon is a malaprop machine. Soon bad guys will be saying, “Revenge is like serving cold cuts,” “My prostrate gland is enlarged,”He babbled to the cops,” “Tracy, we’re holding Tess hostile until you get us a shopper out of here.”
They will be doomed, because in the comics a good tag line is an absolute necessity.
So, if the surprise was covered in a tarp, why did Diet ask Dick Tracy to close his eyes several days ago? I don’t know the reason why DT had to temporarily close his eyes, but he seems to have enjoyed it.
Oh man, something gives me a bad feeling that the “tarp” is a code for Diet Smiths’ pants. I don’t blame Detective Tracy for saying “ye gads!”.
Wow, the artist did a really good job today of almost making Tracy’s head a complete, perfect rectangle, in the middle panel. And his eyes are so open! No one is going to eat this man’s breakfast today without him knowing it.
The “tarp” is a pair of Diet Smith’s boxers. Under it is Dr. Froid who promised to work for the Jedi’s in return for early release. “May the force be with you.”

It’s a tastefully done nude plaster statue of Diet (aka Jabba)
And shouldn’t it be, “Ye Gods!”?

Ten bucks says tomorrow’s strip will jump back to Braces, and the weekend strip will recap the whole thing all over again.

I’ve got it! It’s a giant crime-fighting mecha.. Locher is transitioning DT into a Manga comic!

“Ye Gads”! “Diet, this has GOT to be the worlds largest hard shell taco in the world under the tarp. So THIS is how you keep your sexy figure.”
“Do Dorothy & Toto know about this”?
“Can I borrow your eyebrow tweezers”?

Maybe it’s a new writer for the strip?
