Of course Sam won’t shoot her, as he has no cause. Big Margie drops the rebar and Middle Margie reveals that she has been incarcerated. She can tell her story at the Station. Classic Catchem caps off another fine strip.
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay! The Shadow knows! Ha ha hah!
The Moment of Truth has come. Middle Margie lashes out at Tracy in ineffectual frustration and desperation at the thought of going back (!) to jail. Big Margie’s deadly assault from Tracy’s backside is cut short by Sam Catchem, a determined and wary veteran detective with gun in hand: Big Margie drops her rebar when so confronted!
Barring totally unforeseen interference, it’s all over but the paperwork. The cos con caper is solved, and the vandalism of the three Jewish cemeteries will be cleared from the books as well. Book ’em, Sammo!

Foolish girls, nowhere to hide
Escape for a moment, yet justice still abides
A knock on the head only delays for a few
The price that’s to pay when the piper is due
A spear in the hand, no match when face to face
With a very ticked off Jewish cop’s gun in firing place
Perhaps when all is done and the villians are put away
The store will be used to feed the homeless every day

Panel 1: Look of resignation.
Panel 2: Last great act of defiance.
Panel 3: Mad Marge with a full head of steam.
Panel 4: I love the radiant “look of shock” lines on (not so) Big Margie’s mug.

Middle Margie surrendered the evidence to Tracy :)

Would that count as attempted murder against Big Margie? That’s a premeditated action she’s taking even if the action was foiled by Sam.

Lucky Little Margie wasn’t there because she would have beenworthless in a fight.

I thought Middle Margie was the sensible one, but that’s really, really stupid.

Finally the big payoff for middle Margie’s last name and the evidence they’re trying to destroy: Margaret Thatcher hits Dick Tracy with her handbag!

Shelley’s doing a pretty good job on this strip! She can give Joe a break anytime as far as I’m concerned.

I wonder who Middle Margie’s “hubby” was in the slammer? Probably some 400 pounder.
