    Such a target-rich environment! Where to begin….?

    If my valuables are stolen, I should take pictures of them?

    The wall of water saved you? You mean, as in water which can not be compressed, and therefore is an excellent medium for transferring explosive energy? That water?

    And you’re on foreign soil, barking orders at people?

    Really?

    I like the picture in panel #5. A wide angle lens? Is he planning on photographing Virgil Ohso?

    Somebody get Tracy a towel before he catches a bad cold.

    In the actual Kambastanian embassy in Naperville, this would have ended differently, because the pool is filled with fondu cheese. I’m not making that up.

    I’m trying to envision what a photographer with a wide angle lens would look like. It’s in the middle of his forehead, or what??

    How about sending for a Doctor to diagnose Tracy’s obvious concussion?

    As submitted for our perusal Todays strip is worse than usual From the art to the script It is just a bucket of Even if it is just a recap It’s beyond being mindless pap Our credulity is being strained By this comic that’s so inane I know I keep repeating And a dead horse I am beating But I cannot overly stress That this is a colossal mess How sad it is to see The downfall of Tracy Where once he was respected Now he is just neglected By the publisher and the artist Who really aren’t the smartest.

    Sidney and ridenslide, thank you.

    margueritem, recall that on Sunday Feb.7 - Virgil said: ”… I’d like to see the Ambassadors body carried out in a body bag”

    So he may be coming along, you know - the compulsion to return to the scene of the crime (?)

    Locher seems to have ‘stumbled’ on to a good point here. Heck ! We must get some things right, some of the time !

    Two words for inventory photos: off-site backup. (Okay, maybe that’s three.)

    In an embassy surely equipped with lots of phones, Dick uses his wrist radio. In the tiger cage with no way out, it never occurs to him. It seems he uses it when he doesn’t have to and doesn’t use it when it would be most useful.

    Maybe Diet Smith is coming over and Macy wants him in the family photo.

    Sidney Phillips said, “Locher seems to have ‘stumbled’ on to a good point here. Heck ! We must get some things right, some of the time !”

    Sidney, Sidney, Sidney….even a stopped watch is right twice a day…. (work with me, people, I’m talking about an analog watch, not a wrist genii)

    @ Araldite–that’s the same logic opponents of gun control use, so Dick “Fist-Pump” Tracy fits the bill…

    @ Flightsuit–Fondu cheese? Is this a recent change? When I was studying Kambastanian history back in school, I was told it was fondu chocolate???

    Since “Nobody comes in or goes out of the embassy”, how’s the photographer going to get in?

    Why is Tess maintaining a distance from Dick? If that were my spouse, I wouldn’t be yelling from across the room…I’d be rushing over there.

    As Dick is getting up, the front of his shirt is open. Somewhere between panels he took the time to re-button it.

    The pool must have been unheated, as Dick turned blue with cold as he got up. Fortunately, he found a wall of red fire to stand next to, and warmed back up.

    I’m speechless with all the excitement in today’s action packed strip! The emergency personnel don’t respond very quickly except for the one man Terrorist Squad.

    VistaBill, - The One Man Squads Are not NEW !

    Tracy had to contend with one in the Traze-R / Braces case Nov,/Dec. 2008, Just the Leader, no Squad and in the Angelorious (2009) case the squad never “arrived”.

    Shouldn’t Tracy be dry by now?

    DatBigGuy, there are very specific religious and cultural traditions governing which fondu goes in the pool during which times of year. Chocolate fondu in the pool is most often associated with the Kambastanian New Year, and with the Winter Solstice.

    How does a picture prove ownership of an item, unless it is unique? Engaving an item with something like your driver’s licence number (+ photographs to aid identification) works better.

    OzzieJohn, it doesn’t prove anything, but it’s the kind of documentation that will make your homeowner’s insurance policy cough up some money to replace the item.

    The artwork on this Sunday is the new low-point of the strip, if such a thing is even possible!
