    CRIMESLOPPER”S: Know the players… is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

    Jack’s ‘eye-shadow’ in panel 1? High-octane terrifying. What’s up with that thing?! And in Panel 2, why’s his eye CLOSED, if that’s his only functioning one? Is he pointing a gun at the spot he hopes Tracy is still standing at?

    I don’t see the point in doing these re-runs to encourage people to only read the Sunday strip. The compacted Sunday versions are even MORE incomprehensible! Here it just sounds like King shot Jack because he was incompetent.

    I decided I was wrong and needed to take Locher’s advice. So, I went to Harrah’s and before I sat down at the $10 Blackjack table, I started schmoozing with the other players, including the dealer. Security threw me out. Except they had more than Locher/Broz led me to expect.

    What’d I do wrong, Mr. Locher?

    Can they drop this strip and run “Fearless Fosdick” instead. At least those plots would be more believable.

    The king of clubs looks a little too pretty in this strip. I think he secretly wants to be the queen of clubs.

    wndwrthg, I second your emotion.

    Or take his gun away.

    I’ve previously been under the impression that police feel uncomfortable when an unknown person who’s just committed a homicide is still holding his gun.

    But I guess these police are particularly mellow.

    Or maybe Locher forgot that there’s several other police standing politely in the wings.

    A number of readers have commented recently about hopes of being done with the tawdry, putrid card puns. I was also hoping, but no such luck. apparently someone gave the writer a very large manual of them.

    No pacing ! Closer to “marking” time.

    Seems like we saw 43% of today’s strip last week Sunday. What’s the upside for “repeating” it. again ? We already saw it for a SECOND time in the daily strips

    Perhaps Locher thinks we’re not just children … we are “challenged” kids. We have the see it repeated more often to understand it

    How about four ? Get it ? Get it ? Get it ? ??

    But that’s not the problem. Go and read a Chester Gould story.Then, it may come to you !

    Then, there is another problem. A new callous attitude Tracy has developed. No interest in the shot Jack. Is he breathing? Alive ? Needs an Ambulance? You don’t even have Tracy look at him. He is not declared dead ! Rather, you have Tracy indulge his curiosity by talking with the King of Clubs as a man bleeds to death ! Similar attitude with Cellphone and Baskerville

    I think that’s Stan Lee playing cards in the Crimegobbers handbook.

    So if The King is standing at a urinal in panel 5, just what is he holding in his hands?
