Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 02, 2013

Now that is one cool gadget!

Clever, Mr. Smith!

Good morning fellow DT fans…

Good morning VB and Rod!

Diet plans ahead!

Good morning, VB etal!

Mornin’ VistaBill, etc.!Wowzers! I was right about the remote and the magnets disarming him! Which means I’ll be wrong for the rest of the year!(Wonder what’s going to happen next – Did Sail and Ghote scram? Are they under the “protection” of security men? And where is Mysta going? And what about Sparkle? And…)

I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict Dr. Sail will be employed in the future to clone Flattop. The introduction of Flattop’s widow awhile back would make it possible since she probably has some of his hair fiber or skin to get the DNA from.

Mr. Bardoll, your minutes are numbered!

“The remote that controls magnetism will conquer the bad guys.”

pretty slick move

Diet has always had the coolest toys.

Nice demonstration of how Diet Smith has harnessed the powers of magnetism. Bardoll is disarmed and immobilized. Now, on to the next stage of the villainy!

Very cool to see Smith and Tracy have a chance to share a grin together. Also, thanks again Shadow for the neat article yesterday. The author said he could have written more, and I certainly could have read more if he had. Great stuff.

Diet Smith is one smart cookie

I want one of those!

Sorry for going off topic but I’ve gotta add, RIP Jim Kelly, age 67, passed away from cancer. You may remember him as “Williams” in an old favorite of mine, “Enter The Dragon” with the late, great Bruce Lee.

I have an idea. Someone else may already have said this, but I’m still interested in the fact that Team Tracy reintroduced us to Purdy Faller a while back, a villain we all thought was long gone. All we really have is Notta Chin Chiller’s word that he is incapacitated. What if he and his sister are faking his condition and he is really in good health and is behind the Moon Maid business after all?

That’s a possibility I hadn’t thought of. Maybe you’re right.

I knew it! I knew it! Two other posters mentioned that Smith might use the Coupe’s magnetic power to disarm Bardoll.I suspected the same thing when Smith reached for the remote while telling Dick and Sam to put their guns away and to step back.

I always find it humorous how these bad boys react to being emasculated. Without his gun, Bardol is just another punk!

nice move diet! :)

Tracy, in panel 3 is thinking, “I’ve got to get me one of those…”

“Whoever controls magnetism will control the universe!”

I said, he was smarter than all of them put together.

It’s magnetic like Mysta!

He’s immobilized in the sense that the Space Coupe isn’t going anywhere and no doubt the doors are locked.

Bardoll’s gun looks like a WW2 Luger….except for the rounded (Rather than square) grip

Poor Bardoll! I bet he will miss tomorrow night’s MENSA CLUB meeting.

With Sparkle still missing, will this become a new sub plot?

Why didn’t it yank stuff away from cops as it hovered next to Police HQ (say, when they docked and rolled Piggy out)?
