Aaaaaaaw!

As Barb Els distracts Cyber the Tiger (and possibly gets eaten for all anyone knows until they see that last panel), Tracy leaps into action, grabs Mr. Pops, and here things get a little iffy. Tracy, why are you dragging the nefarious clown towards the side of the cage he was already retreating towards? Need I remind you that that side of the cage has no door? Are you dragging him over to the mysterious panther that we will probably never see again? You do understand that you could get in a lot of trouble doing that, don't you? Oh, you're just dragging him around the side of the cage in order to avoid Cyber completely? Okay. I guess that's all right. Just make sure you take his gun. Speaking of Cyber, isn't he just the cutest little tiger in the whole wide world (and doesn't he also sort of remind you of Prince John from Disney's Robin Hood)? Yes. Yes he is. (Still, if I were Mr. Pops, I'd get out of that cage as fast as I could because even now, Barb is reconsidering this whole saving Mr. Pops's life and helping Cyber avoid indigestion thing.)

With Mr. Pops now safe and ready to be carted off to jail, it's time to get to the bottom of this case, which means guns, guns, guns. (Oh my, so many guns.) Now, I know that Tracy's holding one, but who do the other two belong to? Is Random Policeman there, or is Tracy just waving his firearm wildly about in order to keep the people who might all soon be heading to jail in line? At least it looks like he's been paying attention as he quickly runs down the reasons why each of these three suspects could soon be wearing jumpsuits and sitting in little concrete cells, but what of the others?

Lo and behold, here they are. It would seem that Della and Fee Fi are the only two honest folk at this circus (or at least the only two wise enough to keep their criminal and work lives separate). Della, she's going to be okay, but poor Fee Fi there, it looks like he might have taken a little tumble off of that tiger cage seeing as how he was shot in the shoulder and now has his head bandaged up and might or might not be receiving some sort of transfusion. On second thought, what is going to happen to Della and Fee Fi? I mean, if a good chunk of the people who put on the circus are going to jail, then who's going to run the circus? Who's going to pay the performers who are still free? Who's going to help Fee Fi pay those medical bills? Who's going to feed Cyber? Is Dick Tracy about to find himself owning a circus? (I'm not sure that the world is really ready for that.) Only time will tell.
