What does family mean in this context ? Does he come from a family of criminals many of which are doing hard time or is the chief’s use of “family” merely a cryptic red herring ?
Why is it “herring” when it could be Sockeye, Grouper, Pike, Cod etc. ?
I think I’m beginning to understand. Dick Tracy is no longer a serial narrative strip telling a coherent story, but a daily gag strip, & some days the gags are funnier than others.
You (whoever you are, we haven’t decided – if you looked differently and had a different spelling of your name) are yelling at this poor slob for the problems with the video surveillance system rather than watching loud cat videos instead of watching the door to the toilet (either loud cat video, or he’s deaf not to hear the killer go in and commit murder)?
Just more waste of precious comics space. Story coulda moves along but we just gets notheeng valuable once again. We already knows he was there legitimately. That is what his sign in entry means. Duh. Just more pointless dialogues and monologue. And why thems even talking about CCTV footage now after so many days of incident? Thems shoulda already look at all that by now.
IT guys can’t explains? What is we paying em for anyways? Not tells me thems was updates the macrosoft systems again and then them cameras was all goes off then.

3- PAT THE BUNNY: SHADDAP! Whadaya know about Batman smuggling musical instruments into the jail and wailing on Bee-bop Jazz all night??? TSA GUY: Uhhh. Nothing? I work at TSA? Also I don’t think that’s Batman in the picture nor do I think that’s a music refer…
4- PAT THE BUNNY: SHADDAP! Now get outta here and get me some answers! AND RIP THOSE QR CODES OFF YOUR UNIFORM!
TSA GUY:sputter/shudder But they open a link of the subway time tables and… PAT THE BUNNY: OUT!
5- LEE:Geez! What’s the old fart yelling about now??? Did his laxative kick in unexpectedly hard and fast?
“Inexplicable how those smiley face stickers got onto the camera lenses. And that it took a week for anyone to notice something was off. NObody is THAT happy! We blame either Martian infiltrators or Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.”
Pat apparently belives in the “sh*t rolls downhill” principle. The media is dumping on the department’s camera failure. Pat is dumping on this guy. Who will this guy dump on?

Face now turning crimson, Pat Patton makes it clear
Find the source of camera glitch or payment shall be dear.
I.T. can’t say what on that day did cause the camera jam
Killer took advantage to dispatch and then to lam.
Patton won’t be placated. “This mess is front page news
Hit the street and gather facts. Find something we can use
To find the killer bold and free, and place him in a cage”
Meanwhile, Lee begins to see. The wheels turn for our sage.
Legitimate his presence. Yet two birds with one stone
He may have killed without blood spilled. Actions he shall own.

Perhaps they have installed an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) generator in the clock tower that can jam cameras and computers or anything electronic.
