well now we know where wendy got her information from… all we need to know is from WHO
but youd think that wendy, being the expert investigative reporter that she is, would question why this guy moved from tacoma AND the serial killer followed him
Any chance that Wendy has been teaching a journalism class at a local community college? That would qualify her for, er, special treatment by the “Teacher’s Pet”!
Alt Script: BARN: Yooo Hooooo! HAT LADY: (What now?) 2- BARN: Allow me to introduce myself… HAT LADY: Don’t trouble yourself. 3- UNDETERRED BARN: I’m a fashion reporter. You probably read my story regarding the disappearance of stirrup pants in baseball. I’m now investigating the link between women who wear big ugly hats with full coverage clothing even in the spring and vampire-ism. What say you and I discuss this over, say, a cup of garlic soup?
And so it comes to pass, much as I foresaw yesterday!
Wendy Wichel did write the print version of the story, and Bar Tar has sought her out to gather intel and perhaps line her up as his next (or at least near future) victim. But at the same time he is giving away info about himself! Is Wendy quick-witted enough to pick up on that? And to inform her love-hate detective nemesis, Dick Tracy? Who might just save her scurvy neck? …We shall see.

Good morning™, next kill setter uppers !
That information is pure gold ! I bet he could sell it to the cops and have them deposit the money in a secret numbered account.

Good morning™, overhearing friends!
It seems to me a bit of “reverse psychology” on the part of Barnabas. At least he knows for sure to blame Wendy for publicizing the nickname.

Why would Wendy (practically) reveal her source to this guy?

It looks like Wendy and her source are next to meet the “Teacher’s Pet”…

A reporter always protects her source. Except from serial-killing other reporters.

What’s up with the mirror in panel two? Because of her reputation, does Wendy need to keep an eye on those behind her?

Wouldn’t want to be that “Friend Who Runs A Diner” right about now. ✨

Seems like a strategic error to make sure a reporter following the case knows you came to town from Tacoma around the same time the killer did.
