    So is this supposed to be Locher’s tribute to early televisions great masked hero, El Kabong?

    I’m with the Ambassador What is going on here. Looks like Marlon Brando.

    ##Pig on Wheel Sighting!

    Last night on Antuque Road Show someone brought in a “Pig On Wheels” a Pull toy from the early 1900’s I think he said was worth $500.

    Kids T-shirt: “If my music is too loud, you’re too old.”
    My response: “I aint that old, turn that bleeep down!”
    Let’s hear it for El Kabong!

    Technically, it is “Good morning” to everyone… and I’m an hour behind you, Joe.

    …We’re back at no-advance-at-all again with Ricardo Tracy.

    The Ambassador appears to have been smoking opium. I’m surprised he even noticed the commotion.

    I thought the Ambassador was going to have his lackey take care of things?

    TRUE !

    See to it …” were his instructions, and I thought “High Note” Tons, would’ve done the Mexican Hat Dance to intervene and please his master (?)

    Nothing is going on. That’s the whole freakin problem.

    Here we are about to have another Father and Son brawl and in that very room the Father’s violin holds a “powerful bomb”, one that could kill or maim one or both of them.

    Handled correctly, such a tragedy or near death experience could be used to bring about a warm heart-felt reunion.

    It might be a big PLUS to introduce that sort of quality emotional experience in the strip, one to trigger reader “empathy”. The strip has been void of those “senses” for a very long time.

    The last real occasion was Kilian’s 1997 (July to Dec) “Class Reunion” story with Tracy’s High School sweet-heart Betsy Deare who died (arguably, Kilian’s best story).

    Since then we have had “uncharacteristic” FEAR tantroms from Tracy (in the Tigers cage) which some may find and describe as as a story fully charged with “emotion” - but sorry, I could never count those “fake-like”, unworthy displays.

    What happened to that fellow … what was his name … oh, it’s still printed on every strip: Dick Tracy! That was his name! What happened to him? This strip used to be about him – remember? He used to be the hero! Then he got brain-damaged and turned into a passive observer, just watching the hallucinations go by, and lately he’s not even seen passively observing. Others have taken over even that role. The prognosis is not good…. :(

    “What is going on here?”

    I think the perfectly correct answer to that is: Absolutely nothing of interest.

    Once inside the embassy, the ambassador takes care of all security measures personally. Usually a bored look and a droll “What is going on here?” is sufficient to stop most brawls.

    so the violin went through an x-ray machine, BUT it has a bomb in it.
    I am not following this strip so close any more, but I see I’m not missing much. Well, I am missing Dick Tracy. Didn’t he used to be in this strip? Like, as an action hero or something?

    This strip needs a kind of viagra, to hold our interest up.

    Hhhhmmmm, the kid did recognize the strad on Sunday. I wonder if he knows how it got back into Phil Harmonic’s hands and what’s inside it?

    When violins are outlawed only outlaws will have violins.

    So if he strikes his kid with the violin, it may be El Kabong causes el kaboom.

    The first story he was in was a good one he tangled with Sleet , who from memory already knew him , I wonder if she is now out of jail and has kidnapped him .
    I suppose the next story will start off with Tess getting tickets to the races and will be titled Tracy’s Day At The Races
