THE THRILL-SEEKERS 51 – Dissension In The Ranks

THE THRILL-SEEKERS 51 – Dissension In The Ranks

I’ve had it in my mind for a long time that Tuck wasn’t quite the fratboy lummox that he seemed to be on the surface.  I only had a vague idea of what Charles was going to say in this episode, I just knew Tuck was finally going to lose it.  Therefore, I just let Charles prattle on like an insufferable prick until I ran out of space in the word balloons.  I was looking forward to this one and the next, as we see exactly how much Tuck asserts himself now that Ned is gone.

    …loving it! caught the poor chap while he was cleaning his spectacles and such…. LOL. let me find out Tuck is about to assume the throne.

  2. Tracy Brady says:

    the pose of Tuck’s fists in panel 2 is really good

  3. Matt S. says:

    Damn! Straight to the bread basket! I felt that!

  4. Of course the irony here is that Tuck is probably going to end up wishing he did exactly what Charles told him to do.

  5. RBynum says:

    Love that Tuck seems to wait til Chales takes off his glasses before decking him. Brings back memories of playground fights and mom saying “Don’t hit guys with glasses…” That mentality definitely played in the ’70s.

  6. Doug G says:

    And he led with the left — got to give him that much, at least. They never expect you to lead with the left. Also … I would totally wear Tuck’s shirt.

  7. A'Omare says:

    i gotta get a Mr. Roper leisure suit….

  8. Guess Who says:

    Wonder why the artist likes his characters to fight with their left hands?

  9. Summey says:

    Damn Lefties. The devil’s work I say! Sinister handed talented bastards all!!!

  10. Jay Kelley says:

    I dunno. For some reason, I could heard Curtis Mayfield’s Freddie’s Dead playing in the background.

  11. Tuck’s got a beefy Don Stroud look, more than “Mr. HiYo!” here.
