Prior murder attempts 4/2/78 (snakebite) & 4/21/78 (literally thrown to the lions). However, that’s just Max Allen Collins “Return of Haf-and-Haf” storyline. Think the tally is higher than twice if you go back to Gould’s original 60’s continuity.
Well, we mustn’t forget that Zelda is not quite the innocent she is being portrayed as today. Zelda was a home-wrecker who was having an affair with Haf and Haf while she knew he was married.

Haf and Haf was having an argument over Zelda with his wife Dolly. Dolly picked up a poster of Zelda’s act and was waving it in Haf and Haf’s face. Haf and Haf picked up a machine gun and blasted Dolly through the poster.
Prior to this, he was a small timer who taught crows to steal purses. Because of Zelda, he committed murder and later, worse.

Twice?
Let’s hope the third time ends much the same. ✨Neil Wick over 5 years ago
Good morning™, safe performers!
Dick Tracy will protect all performers.

He will need some sharp shooters, with guards to watch at a distance. (We don’t want Split Face getting a rifle and using it.)

Good morning™, dedicated actors !
I hope her trust is well founded.

Never fear. The Caped Crusader will make a cameo appearance and help save the day!

I personally believe that Tracy will save Zelda; this does not mean that she won’t come within a hair of losing her life, of course.

Maybe she’ll be lucky and he’ll get killed by Tracy or Sam.

Even though he tried to murder me twice. I think I’d be having an anxiety attack by now.

I think a nice vacation someplace far away may me warranted on Zelda’s part. Too bad she had “obligations”
tsull2121 over 5 years ago
is it just ME or does Zelda look “not so great” in these panels?
she looks like an escapee from Area 51

Girl talk. Today, Zelda expresses her trust in Tracy; a model for us all, or a fateful mistake? Will Tracy save her day? And everyone else’s?

I guess Zelda insanely throwing drain cleaner on Tuzon’s face to bring back Haf and Haf has been retconned away.
