Liar!

Agent Ennen continues to freak out, turning her attention back to the tiger when the last strip clearly showed that she should be more afraid of the panther. (Boy, I can see why the FBI wanted her. Way to go, detective.) The tiger, realizing Agent Ennen's mistake, and not really wanting to be shot by an overzealous FBI agent or gumshoe (even though both are now presumably unarmed, but you never know what people are hiding), announces to the world that it's really helpless, which I would hope would convince them not to do anything too drastic. In fact, it would seem that the tiger might even have a toothache as it clearly appears to be in some sort of distress and just wants Tracy to have a look inside of its mouth to see if he can see anything that's either rotten or stuck between its teeth. Tracy, however, doesn't look too eager to do such a thing and instead of "Nice kitty!", I would have rather had him say something like, "Dang it Tiger, I'm a detective not a dentist!" (and maybe I should cut back on the Star Trek for a while). Meanwhile, Mr. Pops stands outside, apparently trying to hear Agent Ennen and Tracy's demise, all the while practicing another speech (and all the while continuing to say everything, even when what's written is a direction and not actually part of the speech).
