Everything seems off today, the illustrations, the coloring, the shading, Pat’s ridiculously weird flat fingertips. Almost looks like a mirror universe Tracyville, which is not a bad idea.
It absolutely matters that we know how AK managed to yet again escape apparent death (who remembers his Houdini escape from the cement pit?)
Anyone who thinks it doesn’t matter has very low expectations. By simply reappearing whenever team Tracy decides it’s time for another failed plot by Abner to kill Tracy destroys all suspense and creditably to the strip.
What this stale strip needs is a major jolt! Which regular character are you willing to sacrifice in the name of breathing new life into the stories.
I vote we knock off Mad Mindy!
