Mike’s storylines this year have not been bad…it’s these breaks he needs to take which loses rythym. It sometimes feels we are reading two different versions of the same strip. That “transition week” a few weeks ago droping hints for a future story was written by Eric but felt like Mike did the ploting.
Costello has an issue with pacing – It’s like he’s adapting a novel, not writing a comic strip – but as we all know – if Tribune is happy with Mike choosing Eric to be his “alternate” then there’s nothing we can do about it. Could be worse – look what happen to LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE in it’s last decade…. :( (Which thankfully Mike Fixed!) Mike’s most likely overseing these storylines acting a a Defacto “editor” on these like the MM.
Does Tracy even have the authority to deputize? Anyone know what the policy of the (Chicago) Police Department (surely Mike’s done a little research) does he have the authority? I’m sure Pat as a Chief might have the authority, but Dick’s only a senior detective and squad leader.
Good point, and if a small ring can protect the wearer, then a larger vest with the same tech would offer even stronger protection. Seems our friends here are quick to question without realizing the obvious.
I don’t think so…but there may be some connection…
