If these two are making so much noise, why hasn’t someone knocked on the door to see what’s up? Oh, there is no door. There is no back round art. Hasn’t been for days. Since when does Tracy handle domestic disturbances? What happened to the crooks who bought the real strad? What is there sinister plan? Will we ever see them again?
I just can’t wait to hear why they are calling Tracy in to investigate a domestic disturbance. I can only think that since this is one of the most dangerous assignments for a cop, they see this as a way to get rid of some deadwood (or at least comatosewood).
Sydney said that it would take a week of backtracking to explain this. Bring it on!
Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait!
Philip Harmonic is an awful parent, not letting young Phil pursue his muse. I dare say Roy Dotrice’s portrayal of Leopold Mozart showed better parenthood.
Sonny boy stood rooted to his tracks
For daddy was having another of his attacks
This one gave him quite a particular thrill
For he heard his father utter that magic word, “kill”
Tracy was at home, his hard day done
And he was looking forward to a little “fun”
To Tess it had become such a bore
She just referred to it now as “the chore”
What excuse could she use tonight
Would nothing save her from her plight
She felt her wishes must have been heard
Because the plot was becoming more absurd
A domestic call came for the great detective
They could have used someone more effective
Such a piddling matter so it would seem
For a man of who is in such high esteem
But his luster I fear is getting worn
His days are becoming more forlorn
I am sure in his heart he knows how we feels
As we clamor for the “Pig on Wheels”.
And thanks to Merrymarg and Flight Suit too
We now have a pig that we can view
OK ! Let’s try to rephrase it for him (and you) - Let’s call it an incremental nudge, but really just a further STALL ! ?
I’m stunned by the speed (or lack thereof) of the coversation. What will it take to get Dick “moving” ? (not to mention Locher off the commode) Stay tuned well into next week.
In the meantime, why “cramp” free flow comment with imposition of meticulous exactitude

Nicely drawn hands today (albeit without fingernails).
The story? Not so much. I agree with Pops in panel two - he appears to be yawning and falling asleep.

Oh, my goodness! Those hands *do* look good! What happened!?
I mean, besides *IT* happening.
Marguerite, I hope you don’t mind if I add that pig pic to my Pig-On-Wheels blog post?
margueritem almost 15 years ago
Flight Suit, not at all. I got it off of Google. BTW, your pig-on-wheels was there, too.
FLIGHT SUIT almost 15 years ago
Well I sure hope you don’t mind, ‘cause I’ve already done it:

Marg, I just saw your reply. It hadn’t been showing up before.
That’s great news about my Google ranking! Now I’ll get tons of traffic from the millions of people out there searching for pigs on wheels!
FLIGHT SUIT almost 15 years ago
So Marg, how the heck do you embed an image in a post here? I know how to do that on other message boards, but here? I haven’t a clue.

Oh mighty pig on wheels save us please!!!
Let’s replace this with a pig on wheels strip! It can’t be any worse than this and is probably 100 timesbetter.

Wonder if the patrol will get there any faster than they did when Tracy was in the tiger cage?
