    Oh No indeed……….The tiger went over to Brenda Starr to do a crossover story, and got shot.

    Rhoda, let’s ship Mr. Pops over to ’ Brenda Starr’. Caressa’ll take good care of him…. heh, heh, heh!

    Uh, how does that cop know Fee Fi’s name? He certainly hasn’t been around enough to make anyone’s acquaintance…

    Thanks, Flight Suit. I sure like that Pig on Wheels that you drew yesterday.

    You’re too kind!

    Flight SuitGenius_badge said, 17 days ago

    Even if Fee Fi misses the hole in the tiger cage, Mr. Pops will probably land in a plot-hole.

    Mr. Pops, it may interest you to know that this clown’s a Single Lady:

    Is it just me, or is the art now declining to match the story? That cage looks different in each panel. A few days ago the clown effortlessly shimmied up it, today it appears to be several stories tall. What a sad mess this strip has become.

    Brozman it’s a good artist, but in the last days it’s not in shape.

    Hey Margueritem! The cop actually did know Fee Fi……. he’s spends his time at the circus when he ought to be out on the beat and his shirts are permanantly “starched” from the cotton candy.

    Tuesday has passed, Wednesday is here
    Perhaps we should all go out for a beer
    What can be said about the strip today
    Other than that it means a further delay
    To the ending of this story
    That has left us oh so hoary
    Heavy hangs our weary head
    As we view the strip with dread
    Today the strip seems more defective
    As if it has lost its sense of perspective
    Time and space are rendered moot
    Logic too, was given the boot
    Perfection is something we do not seek
    But this strip has become really weak
    A competent story would be a thrill
    Something better than this swill

    One balloon of actual dialog, three balloons of narration (the “oh, no!” doesn’t really count as much of anything). Locher continues his pioneering work on Comic Strips for the Visually Impaired…

    The end (of the strip) is near: Hope that writer will be over, BEFORE Thanksgiving…

    Actually the cop first met Mr. Pops outside the tent because of the phone call Mr. Pops made. And Ring Master kept saying he did do it.

    captainzero said, 16 days ago

    Let me guess: The poorly-drawn tiger mauls the poorly-drawn clown to death, the police consider the case all wrapped up and go home satisfied, leaving Fee Fi free to continue on with his successful career as a circus freak.

    “Comic Strips for the Visually Impaired” nails it right on the head. This strip is what radio would be like today if television had never been invented.

  27. OldTracy

    OldTracy said, 16 days ago

    Poor Mr. Pops! He’s being attacked by a giant and will be thrown into a tiger’s cage. If only he had a weapon to protect himself. You know, like a gun or something. Ohhhhhh! Nevermind.

    Best Divorce Letter Ever

    Dear wife:

    I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever.
    I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it.
    These last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you
    quit your job today & that was the last straw.
    Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had
    cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers.
    You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of
    your soaps.
    You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything
    that connects us as husband & wife. Either you’re cheating on me or
    you don’t love me anymore; whatever! the case, I’m gone.

    Your EX-Husband
    P.S. don’t try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving awa y to West
    Virginia together!
    Have a great life!

    Dear Ex-Husband

    Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you
    & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from
    what you’ve been.
    I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining &
    griping. Too bad that doesn’t work.
    I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that
    came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised
    me not to say anything if you can’t say something nice, I didn’t
    comment.
    And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused
    with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago.
    About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99
    price tag was still on them, & ; I prayed it was a coincidence that my
    sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning.
    After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it
    out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my
    job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you
    were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope
    you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that
    the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dime from me. So take
    care.

    Signed,
    Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free!

    P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was
    born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem

    But, Flight Suit, you are didn’t wait until a cyber-troll called you an “idiot.”

    I doubt that Fee Fi the Giant will drop Mr. Pops into the center hole of the tiger cage.

    But, he might hang the man upside over it to get the clown to confess what he was up to.

    The clown has claimed that the circus was his. If he owns it, that would mean Ringo was hired by his former employer without his knowledge.

    The cop standing by Tracy was probably the same one who showed up after Louise Trapeze was killed. If that’s true, then he knew whom Fee Fi was before returning because of the cops being called by the clown.

  35. OldTracy

    OldTracy said, 16 days ago

    You’ve got to hand it to Fee Fi. How many people could balance on a thin pipe on top of a usually round cage holding a squirming adult man over their head while watching out for the man’s gun and ignoring a long drop on one side and a long drop and tiger on the other. He’s the man!!!

    CougarAllen said, 16 days ago

    Let’s commit murder right in front of the police!

    Tracy remains a passive character. The strip isn’t about him any more – it’s just events Dick Tracy sees and hears … or hallucinates….

    Froxkrybra: Good to see justice done in that divorce correspondence you posted. Got a kick out of it. Made getting onto this strip worthwhile today. Thanks for that one.

    ZetaZeta said, 16 days ago

    You know, guys, Dick Tracy is a lot better if you read all 7 from a week at once, on a weekly basis (like a weekly chapter of a comic).
    Each Saturday I’ve been reading last Sunday’s as a recap from the previous week, then the next 6 as a single 18-panel “chapter.” :D

    The final panel reminds me of Flatop Jr. throwing Skinny off a roof back in 1957.

    Is there a daily Braille version of this “strip”or is this “it”?

    You people are Great !

  41. Araldite

    Araldite said, 16 days ago

    The cop knew it was Fee Fi because someone said it was Fee Fi in yesterday’s third panel. I don’t know why they have to keep repeating the obvious.

    I told Mr Pops to stay away from wild animal exhibits, but would he listen????

  44. VistaBill

    VistaBill said, 16 days ago

    I continue to wonder why the cage needs to be so tall. It appears to be well over 20 feet high. Did the circus think the tiger could jump that far…although the clown jumped up a few days ago. And it’s strong enough to support the weight of several people.

  45. YoullNeverHearFromMeAgain

    Shouldn’t the cop shoot the tiger now to avoid a potential future mauling?

    No. The animal rights people would complain. I suppose they could use a tranquilizer dart, though.
