Game on.

With barely a plan, Tracy managed to worm his way in to see Ace, who seems to have abandoned his pinstripe suit for one that seems to fluctuate between purple and blue (kind of like a certain Prince of Planet Doom. Maybe they're related.). With a big case of money on the line, and the possibility of getting more, Ace can't turn down Tracy's wager, especially since he's probably planning to cheat and get the money one way or another. (He will, however, turn down Tracy's offer to share the secret of the perfect "I'm A Little Teapot Pose" with him.) The deck is cut and the cards are drawn, with Ace selecting the ace of clubs and Tracy ending up with the four of diamonds, which then miraculously turned into the ace of spades. (I guess you could say that Tracy had an ace up his sleeve. Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.) Ace is less than pleased with the way things have turned out and accuses Tracy of cheating (which he did), and gets even angrier when Tracy accuses him of cheating, the accusation causing him to get so angry that he utters the worst profanity he can think of (and in front of the young impressionable comic readers, too! You sir, disgust me.) and unleashes his hired goons on Tracy, who will probably be disposed of quite easily, leaving plenty of time for the big showdown between Ace and Tracy (or not).

And on a side note, yes, you shouldn't open the door to salesmen at night, especially if they bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Freeze, an evil robot, a Scooby-Doo villain, or a mad scientist (unless, of course, he's your good friend Dr. Noll). Now that's good advice. Thanks Tracy. I don't know that I could have figured it out by myself.
