Oh Gertie, you forgot about that other entrance to the basement (you know, the place you apparently entered sometime between now and when those two crooks stepped into your carefully prepared bear traps), and it looks like Ace has finally decided to take matters into his own hands. Apparently, watching his hired goons be taken out by bear traps brought to mind the saying, "If you want something done right, do it yourself," and he decided that the only way he's going to get that money back is to go down into that basement even though there are probably spiders and all manner of mold lurking down there. (Hope you're not a germaphobe, Ace.) Though he seems to have easily caught Gertie from behind, it looks like both of them are getting more than they bargained for. (I'm not sure what that is exactly, but it looks like Gertie might have either bitten into, or slobbered on, Ace's hand, and Ace might just have pinched Gertie's rear. You just wait until B.O. gets here. He'll do something about this. Speaking of B.O., I wonder how many panels of him walking down an empty road in the dark we'll have to endure before he finds his way back into the main storyline.)
And because something interesting just might be finally starting to happen over at B.O. and Gertie's, it's time to switch back to Tracy and Jack, who have been hanging suspended above the casino gaming floor for quite some time now. (Unfortunately for both of them, the moment the comic switched back, they resumed their plummet, rudely breaking off what had become quite a civil and informative conversation, the subject of which we will never know.) I have to say that I'm a little worried about the way Jack hit that table, even if the roulette wheel didn't impale him. I just don't like the fact that he landed with a SPLUCK. SPLUCK sounds a little gooey, even if it wasn't ended with an exclamation point. (Oh Jack, whatever is to become of you?) Tracy, on the other hand, I'm not too worried about since it looks like he managed to land on his head, meaning that the impact would have been absorbed by his wood block hair, so I'm sure he's fine (unless the damage it received earlier compromised the structure too much to support the weight of impact....no, no, I'm sure that everything's fine).
