   Why is Fritz baking so much bread? With Wolfe and Archie away, he’s cooking for at most two people, right?

   If that’s really Archie, he’s going to beat the crap out of someone. And if it’s a Nero Wolfe story, he’ll do it well before the climax, because fisticuffs are never the main way to defeat a villain in a Nero Wolfe story. This cartoon is way too wispy to be Archie, IMO. Archie is a real tough guy, not someone half of Tracy’s mass.

   @firestrike1, you’re predicting that Flattop will kill Tracy? Or that he’ll get paid even though he doesn’t?

   I immediately said, “Are they in a theater?” I’ve never been in a secondary school that had chairs with armrests. And no desks or tables. Surely they’re too young to be in a lecture hall.

   When the cabbie is gay and male? Female and straight? Asexual? A devout Jain?

   Most professional criminals try to avoid shooting at cops. It’s a great way to end up dead. Then again, real cops would wait for backup before confronting the armed suspect – maybe just wait in the doorway to prevent his escape and stall for time while dozens of cops arrive.

   I once worked with a guy who won the NATO rifle shooting tourney while on duty in Germany. (US Army veteran, light infantry.) Kelly used a stock M16. Worship of bolt-action is not actually justified and has not been for decades.

   Does it bother anyone else that Art Decco not only addresses everyone by their full first and last name, but also thinks of them that way? He never thinks just “Sue” or just “Paul” or “the artist”, it’s always their full name.

    He explains it right there in the dialog. He’s wondering why this one minor criminal’s death was enough for the head of a unit in a different state to fly down to Florida to investigate personally. Normally a cop would just ask the local coroner to do an autopsy and investigate the circumstances of the death. Maybe they’d send a detective, but not someone who’s presumably of deputy chief rank or the equivalent.
