Now I know who to ask for money. King of Clubs carries around briefcases full of money at all times apparently. Seems to me that Crimestoppers Textbook might want to say something about that, since I can think of nothing that would put a target bigger than this on a man’s back once that kind of thing became known.
Tracy doesn’t seem to be himself in the second panel. Clubby has lost some of the detail that was in his crown. I guess lunch was approaching and that tuna sandwich was calling Brozman’s name.
The Managers of the OTHER Casino’s who did the same “scam” on other clients as Jack did to B.O. Some strips back Big Ace implied they had already reported in ! Yesterday, the King of Clubs confirmed the wider scam to Tracy.
Am I unduly pessimistic (or underrating the “genius” of Locher?) to suspect that after the up-coming Big Ace sequence is over, we won’t hear one squeaky thing more about the other dishonest Managers ?
Of course we will ! I’m sure a man of Locher’s caliber will “tie up” all the loose ends. Why would he intentionally make Dick Tracy look mentally vacant , silly or “incompetent” ?
This surely doesn’t look like the Big Ace a week ago. The other one had an eyelid across both his eyes that looked like a spare tire from his belly attached to his forehead.
I wish I knew someone like the KOC. A lot of my problems would disappear.
In panel 1 Spacey’s head looks as flat as OEJ and it is offset to his left. Look where his nose is with respect to his tie. In panel 2 somebody has cut off his left arm.
“Gotta bait the trap”?? Didn’t BO and Gertie already do that?
Chubsy said (for Tracy) :
“I’m really not a police officer anymore !”
Now there must have been a good reason for Chubsy to arrive at that conclusion …
Could it be that Chubsy observed that since he returned from Washington DC (October 2007) on the Baron Von Klu Meister case (just under 2 years ago), this unrefective detective has worked completly ALONE (?)
Or is it because Tracy “repeatedly” ignores normal police proceadure and flys into situations like a “loose cannon” without apparently stopping to think (?)
Could it be because he forgets to use the built-in “Taser” in his Wrist Geenie when in threatening situations (?)
Think of him facing up to Jack, an armed Cole Lector, the Baskerville Hounds and Robot, Magnum Force. Putting them all away with a Taser would be a Whizz. Dizzy Dick plumb forgot !
The character is now sort of “loco”, a defective detective, action retarded with accute “memory loss”
I don’t know what kind of trap he’s setting. Big Ace said “meet me” not drop a bag off somewhere. The minute they see him their going to know it’s Tracy and probably start shooting. Unless he’s going to morph like Big Ace has been morphing everyday. Maybe Tracy will morph into a OEJ lookalike, give them the money, then morph back into Tracy and arrest them for possession of stolen goods..

Tracy: “I’ve forgotten how to arrest someone.”

I’m not sure you have any evidence Big Ace exists.
What about all these other casino managers who are supposed to have stolen money. Aren’t they available as evidence of something or other?

Seems like a template for him !

Couldn’t you call for a briefcase (or maybe suitcase?) of counterfeit bills, Tracy?

Think that boat cushion (or briefcase … looks like a boat cushion to me) could hold a whole cellar-full of money bags?
Could Big Ace be fooled into thinking it does?
