I think he’s referring to the Minit Mysteries, something entirely new in the history of this strip. It’s a format change and thus “important.” They’ve only ever appeared in comic books before.
Chief of Police Pat Patton and Chief of Detectives Dick Tracy are going to take time off for the week of Thanksgiving, while a guest artist carries the ball with an 8-day, Sunday-through-Sunday “Minit Mystery.” Seems straightforward enough. Only Saturday (tomorrow) remains for any further wind-up to the Nitrates story, such as a scene of Susan and Adam in San Francisco….

“Something important” sounds foreboding.

I’m still very sick so I won’t be commenting on Saturday’s strip until daybreak, in case anyone is wondering.
