Splitface has pretty good and up to date information about the habits of his target(s) and the current and future positioning of his/her/their vehicle(s)…
Someones are getting an early Christmas present. A swank joint like Siam should have outdoor surveillance cams going. This guy could be watched doing his nefarious dirty deed and thus be apprehended before or right after leaving the package.
The Siam is owned by Am, so anything is possible. Am cannot be harmed. Still, the Siam is bound to attract a wide array of unusual guests. Splitface is going for a two-in-one bombing. Will his greed undo his plan?
Remember the Siam’s ad campaign which they stole from the “I’m at the Hilton” commercials: Are you staying at The Siam? Why yes SIAM as a matter of fact! Remember? No?
As a newbie, I am finding this very intriguing and entertaining. I am glad I have joined this group.
A question that I have that there may be no answer to is…. what is the story/reason for Splitface to have the somewhat odd yellow “poof-ball” hair on his damaged side? It seems like it must be purposeful in some fashion as a more typical rendering of a person wish such a disfiguration as Splitface, likely would have scant to no hair that would grow on the side of such an extensive injury?
Hypotheses I had are a) is it fake, b) is it drawn to signify something, c) is there some backstory I do not know about, d) did he have a story arc about using minoxidil on his damaged scalp and the results were not particularly “natural” in appearance? Obviously, my (d) idea is meant to be foolish and silly, but (a) and (b) also seem a bit unlikely too. So, I am assuming there is some sort of backstory I do not yet know.
1-GRANDPA: Brrrrrr! My brain feels cold. Get me a hat.
SHADY: OK but you know how that’ll make it itch and then you’ll scratch and wipe out a bunch of memories and/or bodily functions. I’m outta here if you scratch away your ability to control your bladder.
2-SHADY: (Hmmmm. Grandpa said to put this package where the sun don’t shine. No wait…
3-…maybe he said “near the Hotel Sime”. I think I’ll go with that.)
When one is devoid of ideas, recycle, and maybe it’ll help the environment. BTW, if Am or Warbucks are in this hotel and it goes Boom, will that negate any more Annie crossovers? Fingers crossed.
Ever since Warbucks made guest appearances in the strip I never saw him being offered or asking for police protection. Besides doesn’t he have the Asp and Punjab to guard him?
The Hotel Siam, based on past information and associations, suggests first and foremost Little Orphan Annie ( or more recently just Annie) crossover guest stars. But Mike has suggested the crossover will be with non-Tribune characters, and Annie et al. are Tribune Syndicate. So, we may be left guessing at almost anyone in the non-Tribune comics who might stay at an upscale hotel. Not very satisfactory for our curiosity. But Mike says the Reveal will come on Sunday….

Good morning™, detectives!
It seems that either the first of second target is a police car.

It’s nice to see that Splitface taking Clybourne under his wings has given the Magpie a new outlook on life!
