Wait, when did it start snowing? There must have been some sort of freak blizzard that only lasted for about two minutes that they never told us about (either that, or the Dick Tracy Universe has entered an episode of the Twilight Zone where the sun has burned out, or the Earth has suddenly left its orbit and is drifting out into the cold, emptiness of space). Oh well, best go along with it. On the plus side, it seems that CIA Man has finally torn himself away from his computer and is now on the trail of The Cyber-Bomber. Now wait just a gosh darn minute here. I thought he was looking for Dr. Noll. Regular old explosion prone Dr. Noll. Not Cyberland Dr. Noll, capable of bringing down the infrastructure of the world with a single keystroke. (I think that portal between worlds may have opened up again. Better start looking around.)Meanwhile, unaware of what might or might not be happening, Dick Tracy is in hot pursuit of the now fleeing Angelorious (who despite being blind seems to be doing a rather good job of navigating her car through the snow). If I were him, I'd hang back a little though, because when I first looked at this strip, I thought that her car was on fire, or that she was riding the rims and shooting sparks out everywhere she went. Another very good reason to hang back would also be that Tracy is driving a borrowed car. Yes, thanks to Angelorious' little stunt with the screwdriver, Tracy was forced to take the doctor's car and is now finding out for himself just how great this new super fuel is. (Imagine what that stuff could do in a giant robot. Alas, that story ended many weeks ago.) This chase can really only have one outcome, what with the mention of how her driving is going to get someone killed, but I'll hold off on tying everything up until it's been tied up because frankly, I've been saying that things were winding down for a while now, and if I say it again I'll have crossed the line into "That's just embarrassing," territory.
