    Aw, Junior’s not all bad! This is so heartwarming!

    And for all your portraiture needs, might I recommend Images by Floom Photography?

    Virgil isn’t afraid to take chances! Will Tracy hear the shot?

    I hope it’s a two for one shot! Poor Jr., always that Picasso face, and short arms, too….

    “Be quiet or I’ll shoot you in public while surrounded by witnesses. ” No logic in any direction. Sigh. How does Junior play the guitar with foot long arms? WHY HASN’T TRACY QUESTIONED THE FATHER? Which would lead him to the son. Which would lead him to Virgil. Sigh. Instead of Tracy doing any real detective work, the villain has to come to him and make him self known. Sigh.

    If that bullet hits Junior, Dad may never find what’s left of the $2 Mil.

    Leaky figured out how to post pics! Remember Leaky, we are given power in order to see what we will do with it.

    “Look out! He’s got a gun! Which he’s aiming at me from a few feet in front of you, and just said he’s going to use on me, but for some reason you’ve decided to do a Helen Keller imitation and pretend you’re blind and deaf!

    So Mister Subtle spends two million to kill someone by remote control, and then just whips out a gun and shoots in the middle of a crowd at a crime scene. Talk about “people unclear on the concept”.

    Looking at the upward angle of Virgil’s gun I’d guess the bullet went OVER their heads (if I hadn’t read ahead).

    Note tomorrow where it hits !

    That’s another reflection of careless ART by Brozman

    Getting thing done logically by this team (as fishbulb noted) seems beyond them, while some people like to wave a FLAG to tell you that Gould “selected” Locher to “carry on” his great heritage.

    In sync with that idea, Dicky has squashed the “Major Crime Squad” and back-seated Sam Catchem this past year and a half I’m sure Chet would have been as ‘PROUD as PUNCH’ of Dicky’s action !

    Leaky, that’s Stan Laurel on the bottom, but who’s jumping over him? I’m extrememly glad, and so was he, that it wasn’t Oliver Hardy.

    Maestro said, “Don’t try to fool me again,” because that’s how Harmonic Jr. got the strad….”Look dad! A flock of pigs on wheels!” Maestro had to look, so the strad was grabbed…

    Flight Suit………I still dont have this down pat. I need to learn to put captions on these.

    Marg………Even though it looks like Stan Laurel, I dont think it is.

    It’s suppose to be a picture of Frick and Frack. LOL

    Leaky, I type the caption first, leave a lot of space, and then put in the picture.

    Crime-committers textbook, lesson one: Stay focused! You went to the embassy to bump off the ambassador, not some idiot kid who sold you a Stradivarius. Shoot the target first, then go for the recreational victims!

    Even if Junior gets shot, his scarf will live on and duel to the death with Virgil’s.

    Flightsuit, where are you getting those Strads? They’d make great “convincers” in case we go to war against guys in submarines again.

    Shouldnt his Gun say BANG instead of pow? All the other crooks are gonna laugh at him.

    And since the gun is a semi-automatic, shouldn’t we be seeing a spent casing flying out of the auto-ejector?

    This guy spent time and a lot of money to pull off an assassination only to go “POW” with his gun in front of a bunch of witnesses. The only reason Tracy comes out ahead is because the baddies are inconceivably stupid. This strip should be called “Stupid vs Stupid”, reminiscent of MAD magazine.

    Plus Tracy probably will not recognize the “pow” as a gunshot.
