    Good morning™, all!

    So, I said yesterday something about abandoned warehouses, but this one is more an abandoned factory.

    This might possibly be the most boring week in Dick Tracy history!

    Of course, it still doesn’t compare to Firebutt’s lovelife!

    @Gent

    and that’s why I address him on occasion as ‘Sir Charles’…

    it’s my sign of respect for a worthy artiste…

    I will henceforth address you as “sir Suckup” ;-p LOL !

    Chester Gould’s old “Sawdust” & “Invisible Tribe” strips had more plot & narrative drive than what we’ve seen this week.

    Why does the clock have IV for 4? Every clock I have with Roman numerals has IIII ! Even though IV is correct, clocks for some reason have the IIII!

    I’ve seen stories of old abandon warehouses and factories with stuff left in there, but I still think it might be a criminal’s hideout.

    If the old company had an exclusive contract with the military, does that mean ♪♪"The only way is up"?♪♪

    Day 5: Five days with no plot holes! I don’t mind a slow build, so I’ve no complaints. It appears this location will tie to the story that’s coming. It’s past history may or may not be an element… It could be “Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.” Let’s see how long the logic can continue! Maybe even into a whole week of story!

    Bit of trivia. For many years the largest four sided clock in the world was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A few years ago the Saudi’s built one in Mecca that dwarfed the Milwaukee clock. I was actually a bit disappointed when I saw Big Ben the first time. In my mind it had always been much bigger than it was in the flesh… Not that it actually has flesh.

    The clock face is interesting. For the numeral 4 it uses “IV” which, of course, is a proper form of a Roman numeral. But the majority of clock faces with Roman numerals prefer to show 4 as “IIII” rather than “IV” (for aesthetic reasons, as far as I can make out). I have three clocks with Roman numerals in this room with me and all three use “IIII”— Tracy needs to investigate the designer of that clock face! They are clearly up to no good!

    The building appears to be an amalgam of the Merchandise Mart (1930) and the Reid, Murdoch & Co. building, which is two blocks east on the Chicago River. “Britannica” is above clock face, as headquarters of Encyclopedia Britannica is now located in the 1914 landmark structure. For decades the Merchandise Mart was the largest building in the world. It had its own zip code until 2008. It has an ‘L’ stop served by the Brown and Purple Lines.

    I wonder if the foxes on the clock face represents the originsl owners (Urie and Pounds).

    It continues pointing out nothing. Everything we have seen this week could have been shown and told in one 3-panel day.

    They made soldier’s gear in the clock? Not only does Eric need to learn how a story works, he also needs to learn how the English language works.

    The art is terrific—I’ve got no complaints—-haven’t been in Chicago since April 2004 but I’m having fun reminiscing.

    But can we someday get back to the planned mass jailbreak?

    Urie-Pounds is famous for its enormous clock and Arnold Palmer was famous for his enormous c… “I had to say it!” (Almost).

    Now…where did I ever hear about that…?

    On their way back to the Station House, Dick n’ Sam discuss Tracyville history…

    1- DT: The clock in that abandoned building is only right twice a day, Sam – so it’s got you beat by at least one! SAM SLAM © HAR HAR HAR!

    2- SAM: I’m wearing one of the items they used to manufacture there! DT: Oh yeah? What is it – your ugly hat? Ugly suit?

    3- SAM: Nope. My military-grade truss! Really holds things in. Wanna see? DT: Just shut-up, Sam…

    After a week of set-up hopefully the story will be worth it.By the way, I maybe mistaken, didn’t one of Tracy’s rouge die or was capture because he fell on a clock tower’s hand?

    Wonder what an abandoned factory that made military gear can be used by a criminal enterprise?

    Or maybe as someone suggested they’ll literally find a few skeletons to start a tough murder investigation……….
