    Wait, the tiger hasn’t even had an appetizer yet!

    What a gory way to commit suicide. Eaten alive by a
    hungry tiger.

    When I look at the second panel, all I can hear in my head is the squeak-squeak-squeak of Mr Pops’ clown shoes.

    Hmm, Pop on top.

    It’s time to give that tiger a “Happy Fun Clown Meal”!

    I’ve been waiting for this day:

    Let’s All Drink to the Death of a Clown!

    (No, I didn’t make this video, but I’d love to see what wndrwrthg could do with the lyrics of this song…)

    Panel Two: Who runs without bending their knees?

    Panel Three: He’s goin’ all King Kong on us! Meanwhile, the giant monster who lives in the circus tent’s ceiling has returned and appears to be following Mr. Pops’s progress!

    Good strip. But I have a little suspect…maybe a new artist with Brozman? Hmmm…

    If not the tiger, the pig on wheels will catch him.

    And what about the other partners in crime? Did they all run in any direction?

    (Not worrying about finding any cop, of course)

    And, yes, the return of “valiant” Ricardo Tracy…

    Mr Pops, I told you to stay away from wild- animal exhibits. After what happened to Daniel’s accusers, you would think nobody needed to be told twice. But would you listen???

    What happened to your pistol and your megablaster gun Mr. Pops? Goodness how lame can this whole thing become. At least the Tiger might now become contented!

    Will there be a top to the cage this time?

  14. Carlo Coratelli

    Carlo Coratelli said, 22 days ago

    It’s true. Where is the gun???

    He was ordered to put the gun down by the competent police officer. Who then let him run off for some reason.
    This seems to be headed for the Chester Gould ending: the villain ending in a fitting, horrible death. This time as a tiger snack.
    Mr. Pops was not quite up to the stature of the other Tracy villains, though. Maybe we could borrow one from Spiderman. That strip has super-villains to spare.

  16. watcha

    watcha said, 22 days ago

    Nope, the 1/2 competent officer only asked him to put it away.

    STOP! Indeed, please stop. In fact this should have stopped months ago.

    Mr. Pops can really jump! Are we almost finished now?

    Real tigers don’t eat clowns. They taste funny.

  20. idarke

    idarke said, 21 days ago

    Now I get it. Tracy forgot to say the magic words “You’re under arrest” before, which causes villains to abandon all previous plans and run.

    If I have said it once, I’ve said it a 1000 times: Exotic animals do not make for good yard pets…

  22. kab2rb

    kab2rb said, 21 days ago

    Where is the other officer, back then there where no tasers, and DT did say your under arrest and STOP.
    I tried the utube video and couldn’t get anything saw pictures to the side that is all.

  23. Barry J. Williams

    Barry J. Williams said, 21 days ago

    A couple of takeaways here: Mr. Pops is no longer limited to a full frontal shot in just one panel…now he has the ability to “go places” and be silhouetted. The sky’s the limit…

    And, Kab2rb, what in the hell are you talking about? A youtube video for what??? For a comic strip? I want whatever you’re smoking…

    Fi Fe was a big blob on the floor after agent Ennis used her deadly fist on her.
    “That’s the last time she pollutes the air next to me” Ennis snickered.
    Dick and Ennis arrived at the Tigers cage just as Mr. Pops was finishing speaking.
    Ennis recoiled in horror when she realized the cause of the bad odor wasn’t Jabba but Tracy!
    Dick yelled at himself;
    “NO!”
    He hated when he had an ‘accident’.
    “Oh well, better deflect attention from me”. He thought.
    Whenever Dick was embarrassed he went to his happy place and turned into a different person. Today he turned into Apollo the Defender.
    “Dick Tracy wasn’t devoured! You’re under arrest, Mr. Pops”!
    Mr. Pops couldn’t believe his eyes or nose.
    “Wow”, he babbled to himself as he began to run away, “Tracy’s nuttier then me! This story sure stinks!”
    “You’re not taking me in!” he yelled while suddenly feeling a little Daffy Duck does James Cagney would be funny.
    “Hey, I AM a clown”, he thought while cracking himself up.
    “This is my circus! Mine, all mine!” He screamed while under his breath he muttered;
    “I’m on top of the world, Ma”.
    “Stop Mr. Pops”! Tracy/Apollo yelled out loud.
    Agent Ennis thought for a moment she heard Dick say Mr. Poops!

    Why was there a panel yesterday with them sneaking away only to have them back today making an arrest? Why does this strip have to be so incoherent?

    WTH?? This makes no sense…

    The jig was up the fat was in the fire
    Tracy had foiled the plan by failing to expire
    Pops was quite surprised and forgetting his gun
    He turned on his heels and away he did run
    There was no-one to stop him all they did was shout
    His just needed to take the next convenient way out
    But being rather possessive and apparently insane
    He began to climb up the bars of the tigers domain
    Once the cage had no top and then amazingly it did
    What could be the secret of its disappearing lid
    Will it be there tomorrow for Pops to scramble across
    Or will it be missing and throw him for a loss
    What thrills and action will be ours to behold
    When the next exacting installment of this story is told
    We hope and we pray it’s not a horrible illusion
    That this story is at last coming to a conclusion.

    Sorry Maxine, but I’m at a loss.

    Right. Where is Mr. Pops gun? And how come he can climb up the cage and Tracy and the useless FBI agent could not?

    dstufff said, 21 days ago

    This whole story line is so stupid! Why did it take DT all these weeks to annouce that Mr. Pops is under arrest? Mr. Pops should have been placed under arrest as soon as Tracy found out he killed Louise. Then again, if proper police procedures were followed, Locher would have to do away with these incoherent story lines!

    Bassmanbob, this is the second time you’ve accidentally called Della “Fee Fi.” Are you trying to hurt her feelings?

  32. VistaBill

    VistaBill said, 21 days ago

    After revisiting panel three, it appears that the cage is now nearly as tall as the circus tent. Mr. Pops lept to the bar near the now topless cage. As I remember, a few months ago the cage was only a bit larger that the tiger and was rectangular. Now it’s round! I hope we get to see the pig on wheels before this story ends. Perhaps Tracy will adopt the pig as a pet and we can see it in future stories.

    Flight Suit, would you believe I’m doing it on purpose to see if anyone is reading my stupid little side story?
    I didn’t think so.

    IT’S ALL SO CONFUSING!!!!!

    Thanks for pointing out my error.
    “Boy do I feel dumb”!
