   Panel One:

   WE’VE MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE TENT!!!!

   That IS progress, yes?

   So now, just like in the Batman TV series or a James Bond flick, the heroes are left to perish in the diabolical trap, but they’ll escape, ‘cause the villain inexplicably doesn’t feel the need to wait around and confirm that they’re actually dying?

   Hmmm….

   So I guess this means Mr. Pops is currently unaware of Fee Fi’s heroic tail-pulling?

   The clown’s going to phone the police! How far away from the tent are Ringo and the clown? Or is the tent smaller (again)? Perhaps tomorrow’s strip will reveal something new in this (neverending) suspenseful tale.

   Good lord, that tiger’s distorted!

   Margueritem wrote, “Good lord, that tiger’s distorted!” Take a look at the clown’s pistol. Which way is it pointing?

   At Ringo’s head. It does look a tad like a cardboard gun, however.

   TRACY!

   No, that’s a tiger.

   Hmm. One would think that the absence of “being eaten by a tiger” screams and shrieks coming from the tent would tip Pops off that there’s been a … hold up. (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)

   The tiger lets out mighty growls
   Causing Tracy to evacuate his bowels
   Is Pops plan coming to fruition
   We’ll find out after this intermission
   Tracy quakes in the face of danger
   To us he has become a stranger
   No longer the Dick of old
   Down the river he was sold
   By a writer who no longer cares
   Causing us to pull our hair
   Will Locher do what must be done
   And journey into the setting sun?

   A 6 year old could draw a better tiger than that one. Even Flight Suit could.

    But I don’t need to; I’ve downloaded several weeks’ worth of DT tiger pics, and can copy-and-paste with reckless abandon!

    Been checking…if you just read every tenth strip, this is still a nonsensical slowly moving story.

    And speaking of comic strip parodies, this was just recently brought to my attention:

    As I type my rhyming retort
    I realized the clown’s teleport
    he moved to outside
    (when? Dunno. Why?)
    So today’s poem shall be true sport

    Tracy and Ennen are still in the cage
    facing down a tiger’s rage
    Grab a cat by the tail
    Or it’s claws will prevail
    At giving advice that’s most sage

    The advice is to end this and quick
    For of this circus I fear we’re all sick
    Week after week
    We can still hear the squeek
    Of the plot as planned by a (CENSORED)

    The clown points an obvious flaw
    In the plot; it sticks in our craw
    Where are the cops? What became of the feds?
    Surely they did not all depart with the dead?
    Once more the strip is just blah.

    This makes no sense at all
    But Locher sure has a ball
    Have a tiger or two
    And Tracy’s time is through
    No wait, that’s just the fourth wall.

    Please pardon this rhyming diction
    I know that this is just fiction
    Much like any trace of talent here
    (Not a joke, I definitely fear)
    Maybe in a month we’ll see some real action.

    …NAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH…

    The tiger went from being realistic to surrealistic.

    “Can you get out?” asks FeeFi.

    “No, but we’re real good at standing here and sreaming”, answer DT and Ennen in unison.

    “I don’t blame you, I’ve been screaming ever since this bit started.”

    The tiger answers ” You got that right. All I do here is growl menacingly and do nothing a real big cat would do. Mr. Tracy, I gotta ask: Why did you get in the cage instead of putting up a fight? Your chances should have been better against the clown than they would be trapped in a cage with me.”

    An entire week of nothing. & tomorrow a recap of the same!

    Come one, come all, see the fat lady, see the giant, see the tiger with the longest tail in the world.

    Did you ever notice that the only reason that Whiny, Panicky, Emo Moron Tracy succeeds is that his villains are even dumber? I mean, look at Clownie; his super idea is to get more useless cops to stand around and void their bladders while he gets eaten.

    Good Lord, DT strip is REALLY distorted!

    morrow said, about 1 month ago

    Pssst, Locher! …….Don’t worry about Ringo calling the cops…….. Macy already did………..and they came…….. and then Krispy Kreme turned the “hot” light on.

    Bravo for Paul Jones! He hit the nail on the head! No matter how stupid Macy and Co. are, the baddies are 150% dumber! I always ask myself why would DL make a buffoon out of a long-time Superhero? I never could answer that - especially when Mattie was telling us all that genius BS, the then Jeffie chimed in. Now I see he wants to showcase the baddies.

    LOL NotNorman…I’d almost forgotten that story. I don’t think DT is Little Black Sambo though…

    matthew, wherever you are, I read in one of your comments that you have some trouble drawing hands and spend a lot of time ‘getting it right’–this happens when you try to go from photos alone….please don’t be
    offended but this course is what you need….

    http://the-structure-of-man.blogspot.com/

    if you have the knowledge of the anatomy and what is going on ….hand rendering will become much much easier….
    it sure did for me…
    once again, don’t take offense….in the long run, this will save you much time

    this had better end in the next week!

    Ah, after not being here for a while, it’s good to see that I picked up right where it left off…this reminds me of the old television adage, “Tell ‘em what you’re gonna say, tell ‘em, tell ‘em again, then tell ‘em what you said”….

    Flightsuit–I’m a big fan of Garfield Minus Garfield. It’s so damned surreal, like today’s tiger. Wait! That’s it! Paste today’s tiger pic into the Garfield Minus Garfield strip and let the hilarity ensue!

    Locher & Davis…hmmmm, sounds like an old vaudeville team. No, wait, that was Franken & Davis ;-)

    That’s it for this week. Tomorrow is rehash Sunday followed by flashback Monday. This will be the time for all of you who can’t remember, or those of you who choose to forget, to have this ridiculous story pounded back into your head.

    There are ignorant folks who literally believe that “Little Black Sambo” was a black boy in Africa. But, tigers are not native to Africa and Native humans in Africa never dressed like Sambo did.

    JIM BROZMAN, the artist of this strip, is never consistent in how he draws animals and humans here.

    Well, in the spring of 1966, I had my 1st grade art students drawing Tigger, the stuffed toy tiger of Winnie the Pooh. And they knew how to draw the other Pooh characters, too.

    If I had taught them to draw real tigers, they would have done a great job of doing that.

    The tiger looks like Fee Fi is skinning it by pulling off its tail.

    NightHawks:

    Thanks for the link.

    Typically, I use the Andrew Loomis books for self-teaching and I find that they’ve done WONDERS for me (I have old, old copies of his HANDS AND FACES and FUN WITH A PENCIL and a few others).

    Between the Loomis stuff, photo reference and studying the heck outta other artists, I’m comfortable with hands. I know the underlying muscle structure and I know the joints and all that…where I struggle is getting them in proportion correctly to the rest of the drawing, but that just takes practice!
