Is that what happened? Blaze didn't actually fire the gun?

She probably did, and Tracy is feeding her false information to shake out the fact that she knows more than she could without being the murderer.

This week, I'm adding Barney Google to my dailies. Best known nowadays as the precursor to Snuffy Smith, Barney Google was immensely popular in the 1920s, and was even the topic of a hit song. I'm beginning in March of 1922, which is about four months before Spark Plug enters the strip.

He's supposed to be an everyday Finnish guy. And what you're seeing here are the bland remains of a strip that exhausted all of it's jokes like 15 years ago. It was pretty good when it started out.

On the bright side, since TomBat likes to pretend his ability to write two overlapping plotlines separated by ten years makes him oh-so-clever, this might get us out of the grueling therapy bits in Crankshaft in favor of grueling crossover crap.

Or she pointed the gun at her and she had a heart attack out of fear.

Dear Colorist,

Even if Ms. Rankin is the kind of "cool" teacher who wears jeans to school, she probably still wouldn't reveal her midriff. You wouldn't believe the parental complaints she'd get. Parents are even more uptight than newspaper comics readers. That line on her belly was probably meant to be blue.

I'm guessing they want to keep Blaze around and make her more a good guy, so they're removing the outright murder from her history. Sure, she still tried to murder Flaky Biscuits, and thought she did, but she didn't. Technically.
You know, there's still at least some chance some other people will come to this silent film screening that you advertised with posters for anyone to attend, and they may choose the love seat before one of those uncomfortable chairs.

I swear there's been like 2 loving panels since that interview on tv where he hasn't been mentioning his gold cane that he got for being the oldest guy in town, and one of those panels was asking if the other character remembered the tv interview they both finished watching like two strips previous.
