“Tracy realizes he’ll have to draw on an inside straight, even though Jack is holding all the cards.
Meanwhile, Gertie is having a full house”.
Nice Poker anology there mrbribery, but in the comic strip world Jack holds the Gun!
What Tracy holds, and even Locher has forgotten, (as usual), is a Wrist Gee Nee with a TASER facility which could knock One-Eyed Jack out of the Casino!
See 7-13-05 Shamman story.
If Locher forgets about the “Taser”… he will hope we did.
SAME item could have been used to kill robot Brute Forces “eletrical circuits”, instead of diving into the bushes to hide. SAME thing on Baskerville’s Hounds. SAME thing on Cole Lector, instead of hiding in a flimsy suit or armor. SAME with J. Hennessey Tucker Jr., with Queenie, with Al Kinda a-top the Capitol building, and back and before.
ARMED Taser “power”, never used!
Yet, ALL could have been disarmed, beaten. Touch of a switch.
KILLJOY ? ME ? Don’t blame me. Blame the “creators” Kilian and Locher’s unprofessional memory!
But I guess, that’s why when Locher, Mattie and Jeff read this, they will all “chuckle” and in unison blushingly try to exolain it away by saying :
“Oh! It’s just a comic strip”. The cure all for sins of omission!
And perhaps, that’s why some people think the Author is a “genius”. Does a clever sounding but “dumb” answer do it all?
