This is when Sawtooth finds out about Grimm’s bet… No money for the tickets…

Good morning™, would-be train travelers!

It’s not really going to be possible to buy those tickets without money. Here is where Grimm is really in trouble.

At least we have confirmation that it was Tess that fired that shot. I think we already decided that was the case.

The daily colorist has picked up on the fact that the silver streaks in Sawtooth’s hair resemble …

Good morning, would-be victorious crime fighters!™

I’m still disappointed that Sawtooth didn’t meet his endmaybe by cracking open his head, or by Tess getting back on her feet and getting another round off. I think the neck-biter is too one-dimensional. I’d rather see Doubleup. Doubleup.

Bet Grimm wishes he had picked up that gun now :-)

Good morning™, empty bread truck drivers !

The view in Ps 2 & 3 are looking ominous, like the sight of it portends a solemn foreboding.

Interesting: Today’s strip could have easily been formatted in the 2-panel style we’ve been seeing for awhile but instead has gone back to the standard 3-panel. It’s a nice way to ease the transition.

I bet Grim(m) is starting to regret not slipping out the back door when he had the chance. Another wrong bet by Grim(m).

That truck will be ridiculously easy for the cops to find.

Maybe Sawbaby will forgive Grimm this time since he just saved his life… TWICE!!

Besides, I don’t think that Sawface is one for living paycheck to paycheck, im pretty certain he has some benjamins in the bank.. unless of course Blackjack got to the bank first lol :)

This may well just be Grimm’s first lost bet with Sawmug’s money, but IF its a “losing pattern” that Sawpuss has seen before, then I don’t expect him to be lenient at all.

Awww who am I kidding… Grimm is gonna be dead fish dead in short order

For helping Sawtooth escape, Grim(m) got his “M” back!

That bullet wound is nothing compare to what Sawtooth will do when he finds out Grimm gambled all their money.

To paraphrase McGruff the Crime Dog: Let’s take a bite outta Grime

“Umm, hey, Sawtooth? How about you drop me off at the hospital and then go ahead to the train station. I’ll catch up to you…”

Good to see the “storytellers” finally remembered Grim(M) was shot. He sure did a lot of damage with one arm though. Next up, A Dicko/Rex Morgan crossover for Grim(M)’s wound?

Ok, so now we know FOR SURE that Tess shot Grimm before she passed out. Because he said she shot him.

Did anyone else notice the blindingly bright lights in the rear window? Not flashing red…yet!

Is Grimm wondering if this life-of-crime thing was such a good idea after all ?

…..Sawtooth 2, Tracy 0 I mean, Sawtooth messed up by trying to pass himself off as a bakery employee, sure…..but that’s not nearly as bad as Tracy knowing in advance Sawtooth was coming, having him in the sights of a loaded, drawn gun…and he still gets away, lol.

Right…you’re fleeing a police dragnet (by now) after attempting to murder a police officer….you need to go back to California. You go to the train station to buy a ticket, cause THEY’D NEVER LOOK THERE, lol

“Train tickets”? I guess the stage coach line doesn’t have anything going out today.

No, Sawtooth, you won’t be patching Grimm up. Instead, discovering that all your money has been wasted on failed ponies, you will feel the need for some saw-tooth action. Grimm’s throat is not long for this world!

Crime diagnosis: Grimm is fatally dumb.

Sawtooth will dump the van and Grimm’s body, fleeing on foot. How long before Tracy catches up?
