The MCU is shaping up: an awesome cop shop!And, yes, both Lizz and Lee are looking good. Sam’s doing great detective work, and Chief Patton is giving sound direction!
Ever since Sam was introduced in 1949, he has been depicted with a cigarette dangling off his lip. There has been major discussion in the past, on this forum, about Sam’s smoking. Most fans seem to feel it’s just part of who Sam is, and he should keep on. I personally wish the writers could find a credible way to have him quit, because I know how miserable it is to be in the same room with someone who is constantly puffing on a cigarette. And, I have always liked Sam as a character, otherwise. He is a great cop, has a good sense of humor, is faithful and loyal. These are all story book characters, but we care about them because they are well written. And I care about Sam, so I wish he could decide to give up smoking!
I like the chief’s logic in keeping Tracy’s disappearance quiet.Have to wonder if Tess is going to be actively involved in the search. After the raid on Mr. Crime’s HQ, I can’t imagine her just sitting back and waiting for the MCU to find him!
Of course, everybody in the MCU would be preoccupied with Tracy’s whereabouts, but have they heard about what happened at a certain ATM yesterday? Surely, it must have been on the news at 11, since the camera guy got an exclusive by being in the right place at the right time.
Number 18 today! hey, did lizz sprinkle some miracle-gro on her hair, cause that grew in awful fast! i like it tho… looks good on her and sets her apart. lee is still around which is good, and you KNOW the tracy private investigatin agency is gonna be involved, so we’re probably gonna see tess and johnny again… plus with the “return” of moon maid (my money is still on angeltop being an imposter) yoll DEFINITELY see moon maid, junior, sparkle and probably even joe as well! looking forward to this storyline(s)! great work team tracy!
re: Sam’s smoking, it’s not a problem for me. But these days one would be hard pressed to find a government building that permits smoking indoors. For accuracy’s sake, Sam probably should be shivering outside in the smoker’s ghetto whenever he has the urge to light up.
Please do not misunderstand me. I do not consider myself more important than others. I do, however, appreciate being able to breath without struggling through someone else’s smoke. Second hand smoke forces others to smoke, whether they want to or not. Is that fair? Are smokers more important than those that choose not to smoke? Remember, I said I cared about Sam. He’s a fictional character, but I really do care about other people in real life. It hurts me to see, and smell, what smokers are doing to themselves. My Grandfather smoked, and I saw how it shortened his life, and quality of life while he was still with us.

Lizz looks great with longer hair, and Lee Ebony is beautifully drawn in panel three.

It’s not Mrs. Flattop, It is Mr. Pops.

Ditto on Lizz. Her hair grows awfully fast though, ya think? At this rate, she’ll have the ponytail of Stiletta in no time!

Where’s Fritz Ann? Probably not far from Sam!

Luckily for Sam, Fritz Ann’s probably back at the FBI.

Sam is smoking? For shame showing that in a comic strip.

Number 12, next stop top ten! Love the steel trap minds of Patton and Catchem. They’ll have Tracy back in no time.

Agreed about Lizz’s hair. Longer is better.

OK, did I miss what happened to Davey (Mr. Crime). Last I knew he’d been hit and told Blaze to go on without him.

I’m just coming in on this. Is Mrs. Flattop Sr.‘s wife or Jr.’s? Or has there been a third generation of Flattop Joneses?

Regarding smoking, they’re smoking over in Annie today. Tobacco companies rejoice!

Go Lizz! The thought of her hooking up with Stiletta reminds me of her epic battle years ago with Keno, another professional knife thrower.

I am glad that Liz’ hair is a little longer. She is the “EMMA PEEL” of comic land!
tarabuff over 12 years ago
Lizz is looking very foxy! I like her better with longer hair than shorter hair.
