Score!

Please forgive me if I am mistaken, but wasn't the CIA guy supposed to be on his way to Dr. Noll's house to investigate that explosion?  Oh well.  Maybe it's another appearance  of an alternate universe character, similar to what happened in the last story.  Perhaps the boundary between the two worlds opened again for a brief moment, but unlike last time, no one has found themselves stranded, and that's good because with this flurry of activity, there isn't room for anyone else to appear.  (After all, this is but a three panel comic.  What do you think this is, Sunday?  OK.  Today technically is Sunday, but I've been trying to decide whether or not to use this one and finally made up my mind.)  

Lucky for us, this comic highlights the trio of characters that we will no doubt be hearing a lot from in the future.  There's Dick Tracy, putting out another All Points Bulletin to be on the lookout for Angelorious, who tried to kill Dr. Noll, stole his fuel formula, and is now going to sell it to the highest bidder.  It'll be funny if she ended up with the perfume formula instead, what with the doctor being so confused, though she probably won't find it funny at all and will no doubt have to go on a gun-filled rampage.  (Perhaps she should give Ken a call.  Perhaps this is where Ken was going.)  Then there's Driller, who has suddenly been cut off from any communication with Angelorious.   (Let this be a lesson to all of you: be kind to your minions, especially when you send them out for a secret formula worth millions or billions or even trillions of dollars.  They might just remember all of those past slights and decide you just don't fit in with their life goals, leaving you with nothing.)  Finally, we have the CIA man, who apparently got distracted surfing the Internet and forgot to check out that explosion.  Still, all is forgiven because he just looks so darn happy to have finally won the game that he's been playing for the past few weeks.  (Oh yeah, high score!  Take that anonymous Internet gamer with the screen name I no longer remember!)  With all of the characters assembled and the pieces falling into place, we'll have to wait and see what sort of wacky adventures, crossed paths, and hilarious misunderstandings lie in store.
