    OK, I get it; Virgil pulls gun, makes big scene, thus conveniently avoiding many more long weeks of Tracy having to do actual detective work. Totally implausible, but I suppose it’s a merciful thing for us, the readers.

    Also: If I’d been paid millions of dollars for a stolen item, I might think twice about ratting out the guy who’d bought it from me. Especially if he was armed.

    We miss you Bobby, Oh yes we do. We miss you Bobby, And we’ll be true.

    When you’re away from us, We’re blue. Oh Bobby, we love you.

    But we’re talking about Sonny Boy here. No one ever claimed he was the sharpest tool in the shed…

    So I guess this story arc will be over a little quicker than we’re used to? Can’t wait to see what’s next…

    margueritem, Were really talking about Dicky boy here, and HE needs a trip ro the tool shed

    I’m going to opine here that Flight Suit has summed it all up - “exactly” right !

    The first logical “instinct” is FLIGHT not FIGHT.

    résultat ordinaire

    Better LATER, to let Low Note slip a knife in HIM (the only connection) the same way he slipped the violin in the case unseen.

    How did Ludwig “recognize” Virgil without the WIG ?

    That’s it, the only “explanation” for bald Virgil having long black HAIR on December 12 he was in “disguise” !

    Like the Woodstock Boys, you have to think “outside the box” to find a rational “explanation”, when faced with one of Dicky’s unexplainable artistic FAUX PAS !

    I believe this is where agent Ennen appears and everyone stands around for 6 weeks

    Don’t forget, Tess is still here at the party, having been forbidden to leave. Maybe Tracy’s protective instincts will kick in and he’ll run and hide behind her.

    Does anyone THINK the Captain of the SWAT team will be FIRED or suspended by Chief Lizz for allowing Ludwig (soon to be followed by Dad) to leave after Tracy had issued STRICT orders to prevent that (Sunday 2-28-10) ?

    I have to admit that I only give the strip a cursory look. I really look forward to reading all the comments.

    Actually I think they call them “Special Ops” or something like that now, a kindler gentler SWAT team

    The absurdities just keep on coming The strip becomes even more mind numbing It keeps getting worse from day to day While Locher continues to collect his pay It seems he cares not one whit That he produces a bunch of He appears to be just marking time All the while committing this crime The future looks to be awfully bleak And that wraps up my latest critique

    The SWAT team seems to consist of a photographer and nothing else.

    Nothing makes sense because he can’t remember from one day to the next what he wrote.

    So far, the kid and his band got out of the embassy even though Tracy said that no one was to leave or come in. The (one man) Terror Squad and the wide angle photographer made it in. I see no other emergency response personnel even though smoke is still coming through the unbroken windows. One would think that a “floooom” as large as the one we witnessed would generate response from the police, fire dept., and other emergency personnel.
