After not setting foot in the police station for the last couple of stories and working cases mainly on his own (and it would seem cases not really known to exist by anyone at the station), the Chief suggests that Tracy just take the rest of the week off since all of that freelancing has made him pretty tired (and it would appear that during the last story he got the end of his nose chopped off, but I'm sure it'll grow back). Now, I could say that the Chief was doing it out of the goodness of her heart because with Tracy out there fighting crime, there was more time for the rest of the force to take part in the Annual Paper Football Tournament, but I think she just wanted to be rid of him for a little while while they all worked on another case. (What case would that be, you ask? Why, I would think it would be obvious from the poster, but the rest of the station is clearly working to take down the nefarious Waldo, and once they find out where he is, they'll bring him in for questioning, and since most of Tracy's nemeses tend to wind up dead, getting him to take a little time off was the only logical step to take.) Tracy looks pretty happy about his long weekend, but it would appear there's a fly in the ointment as Tess has just received a call from Bonnie Braids, a.k.a. the Tracy's daughter. (Oh yes, I did a little research for that tidbit of information.) From the way Tess is talking to her, I think that mother and daughter might have had some kind of falling out, but I could be wrong. (On the plus side, Tess has discovered that even afflicted with T-Rex Arms she is still able to use the phone.) I guess it will all depend on what Bonnie's idea is, and at the rate the strip moves, we should find out sometime next week (or next month). Oh, the suspense!
