   Not commenting on strip, but love that Charlie has an icon from the epic Lizz vs Puckerpuss storyline. Well played. Puckerpuss was my first (lost password) handle here.

   While I would love to believe my handle had something small to do with these events (handle started in Locher days, then Bribery’s first appearance in 2011 mentioned shrinking Tracy’s head…which gave me the smallest hope this would really happen), who cares? This is awesome!!! I always wondered why the Chin Chillars were not being threatened with Bribery’s death and had slim hope that one day he would return…until Gould retired and so with it 1962-1977.

   The Comic Curmudgeon stated today "Bribery is a bad man even by the standards of Dick Tracy villians, and let me tell you that is pretty bad; the beloved insane villain of the beloved insane “Descent into Madness” period.

   As stated in a previous post on this…for me Bribery’s quirks are what made him genius; smoking cats, pickpocketing, deathtraps, shrunken heads, coke sniffing shaman, branding, bribery, councilmen, blase secretaries, roses, no more corpus delecti. He has quite the rogues gallery assembled this time, should be a very interesting story.

   Thank you Team Tracy! What a great illustration of Bribery to kick it all off!

   The hand out of the car was a bit withered, and wondered why Purdy never came back (how did he survive while Notta was in prison?)

   As much as I’d like to see Mr Bribery again, Mr Bigg has not exhibited the quirky criminal traits (branding, shrunken heads, smoking cat, rose therapy, ridiculous death traps) that made him such a memorable character.

   As surreal as those comics were, I can’t do another stint as a Magpie. Thankfully, the quality is high enough that it is not required beyond the current batch.

   Whatever the reasons, Lizz has been completely ineffective, getting stabbed, failing to apprehend. I recall 60-70’s Lizz where she was the most bloodthirsty member of the team.

   Reminiscent of the 1975 Concrete Head explosion (“She Done Done It”). Same coloring. Hopefully the chopper with the automatic gunfire does not come next.

   I hope it is not Ownley Child again. Seems they would be more alarmed after that sequence, that finally got the original strip dropped from my local paper.

   Hope this is not the same plot as the Lenord Aig storyline from spring 1977. Zero Naught had horseshoes attached to a golf club, but had the hoof marks backwards.

    The pacing of this story, on a weekly basis, has been great! I’ve been excited for Sat & Sun strips for the first time since early Collins & Fletcher. Experimenting with 2 panels leading to a one panel Sat?! Yeah! This team knows comic strips. I always wondered what happened to Flattop Jr’s car…
