The story appears to be devolving as DL makes it up. D-Cubed somehow had a scheme to make money by disappearing, having his wife bribe a funeral director for a John Doe body, bribe a tattoo artist to put D-Cubed’s tattoo on it, believing neither of these folks would talk, and then dumping the body where it might be found and incorrectly identified as he. Then declared dead, he started giving away thousand dollar bills while pretending to be a street person. Yeah, that would make him rich. Huh? And panel 3 is another artistic triumph. Penny appears to be aiming the gun at her hubby next to her face and hoping to deafen herself in the right ear if she shoots him.
How about if the ME gave them a toothless John Doe? And D-Cubed has dentures? Does the dentist who makes one’s dentures keep gum records? Wouldn’t the body have to be pretty fresh to be tattooed? Is it even possible to tattoo a corpse? And who transported the body to the swamp? And how? And what did the guy die from? We’re still waiting for that.
You folks heard of the anti gay bullying program “It Gets Better”? Doesn’t apply here. It just gets worse and worse. Missing billionaire id’ed as dead hiding on the streets attracting attention by handing out near non existent thousand dollar bills (it gets worse) who somehow rats out his crooked partners and is being followed by Interpol, the FBI, the NAACP, U.N.C.L.E., the Baker Street Irregulars, and the LSMFT, all of whom stop Thick Spacey from arresting him (it gets worse) thus giving him a chance to escape, which he some how does not do, (it gets worse) and then, out of no where, here comes his wife with a gun to shoot him in front of as many law enforcement personnel as possible. Whew. That’s a long sentence. Which is what DL deserves for destroying this great strip.
So, we have 3 fatalities in a strip run by a syndicate that forbids violence and bloodshed in it? And what’s worse, a story that makes not the least bit of sense. And a lead character that can teleport.
Cybil dear, why don’t you do the same to these spammers?
