Reading this one makes me wanna go out for meat with you and John!
Baby food, pipe ashes and pieces of bread. Three panels of Sawdust humor and that’s what we end up with, hmm? But that closeup of the dots shows that they’re doing a might fine job of making each one different!
Elm thinking olive you, too, Doug.
Try to pull a fast one, will ya, Jade! Not with Dick Tracy on the case!
Baby food?? Now that is interesting! I’ll wager the pipe ash and bread scraps are coming from the room that was shut up over 20 years ago!!
My thoughts exactly, but baby food?! I’m not getting any vibe from that one.
Ack, Dea! You beat me too the scoop! ;D
First! Like some morons do, er, I mean nice quick people do.
Haha! Guess I should refresh before responding! ;D
Matt, how do you think it would get into the room? Or anything/one in or out? Window? Dumbwaiter? That transporting spell the Weasely twins do in Harry Potter? I’m just trying to figure it out….
Certainly is an interesting story. I’m keen to see how these two different plotlines are linked. I got no idea on the baby food, tho.
There’s got to be a dumbwaiter of sorts there that gets the food up. That or there’s another way in that we haven’t seen yet. Perhaps the person that’s up there is the one eating the baby food? No microwaves back then so I figure that’d be the easiest and quickest meal for someone to eat that’d keep for awhile.
Pipe ashes means someone old enough to smoke. Baby food suggests someone elderly who’s lost his teeth.
Looking back…
We know from #30 that the killer was a tree specialist. Jade draws a strip called “Sawdust” and formerly ran a nursery. From #34, the gun was fired from waist height — by a child, perhaps, or a small adult? Jade says (32/33) his father was lost at sea in 1918, but he pointed to Smitz as his “father.” Smitz also went missing in 1918… and was a short man. #36 reveals a doorway that’s been boarded up for 20 years. Jade discontinued the nursery and began the comic strip at about the same time. The four artists on the strip are clearly unnecessary; it’s a sinecure of some sort. They’re being kept on the payroll for some reason other than drawing.
I suspect Smitz may be in the boarded-up room. The four men may be his caretakers? Or maybe blackmailers, getting a paid job in exchange for their silence? Too early to say. But the pieces are coming together…
