Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 19, 2013

To be out in this deluge and not take flight or frightWho would brave the elements on such a wicked night?Mumbles peers through lashing rain, he sees somebody out thereMoon-Faced man with sturdy goons who look unlikely to scare.B. B. assesses complications, needs a closer squintMumbles’ gun and Double’s whip should give these boys the hint.It seems there is a problem, problem down on Wheaton’s farmConsortium thugs, Apparatus mugs do mean each other harm.Facing off in a raging storm inviting wounds and painThe bleeding doesn’t look so bad in sheets of driving rain.

Whoa, a major problem!

……the whip’s coming out, plus some heat……since they’re supposed to be looking for apparatus dudes to take out, strange the others don’t recognize them or even suspect their identity…………

……does anyone really think Diet can be tricked here after all that’s happened, though? No way….

I think Diet will have a few tricks of his own.

I’m wondering whose neck Doubleup will snap with that whip…

So if it’s Dick Tracy that dies in the battle (yeah right, I wouldn’t hold my breathe) doe that mean the strip gets renamed Sam Catchem? I can imagine a sunday strip with his name on the on the first panel in a bold green display font with a profile head shot of Sam talking into his wrist- genie. Naw, it just wouldn’t be the same.

IN the finale to the Mr. Crime story, Doubleup was shot once by Blaze Rize, and several more times by Fritz Ann before going down, and Mumbles was hit three times by Sam.So the Munro Brothers are in big trouble! Big trouble!

Rocket Munro and Doubleup look pretty evenly matched, except that Doubleup has his whip. That gives him the edge. We haven’t seen any evidence that any of the Munros are packing, so that gives the edge again to Mumbles and B.B. Eyes, at least one of whom is armed (more likely, both).This round goes to the Apparatus.

“There’s no honour amongst thieves” , looks like we are about to find out the truth in that statement! Happy B’day Terry!

I’d bet one thing is for sure. Before this is over, SOMEONE will have “bought the farm.”

Heh. Sharks versus Jets. :)

The good part is they both have to play on the same field.

stilldamatt, you need to go see a dentist about those choppers of yours :)

the sputnik’s are going down… HARD! HARD!

Good morning all…

Mark my words… there’s gonna’ be some real fireworks!

Is that Flash in the back of panel 1? and wasn’t he suppose to stay back and pilot the Coup?

Rut-roh

Great pic. I wondered where “Li’l Locher” had disappeared to? I didn’t believe that lame excuse he posted on the S&M Sherpa site.

Its good to know I’m not the only Dick Tracy fan in the world. This brings back the Sunday Funnies of the past

DoubleUp does NOT look like a happy camper. And Mumbles isn’t exactly joyful either. It won’t take much to touch them off.

It would be ideal if they would start shooting each other and both groups would be wiped out with none of our good friends hurt. But life’s not like that.

I heard that he had to take a second paper route to raise the $9.95 a month that Sherpa wants to display his “Hot Mess” there.

i bet doubleup is in a bad mood cause the rain is ruining his “horns” lol :)

There are 4 Munro Brothers. Melies instructed Flash to stay behind, but told the rest to go check things out. The 3rd man here is Satellite.

Greetings Fellow Tracy Fans, I have a question for you all. Who was the greatest actor to play the role of our favorite detective? Was it Ralph Byrd? Morgan Conway? Or Warren Beatty? I guess you can throw in Everette Sloan’s name to since he was the cartoon voice of Tracy. Would a brand new Dick Tracy cartoon fly in 2013? I’m sure most of us would watch but what about the rest of the nation?

As Charlie Rich sings, “No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.”

I guess that was a remake of “Duck Tracy” with Daffy Duck!

It’s pouring rain, and three funny-looking mooks show up. Two of those have wierd speech problems, and one has a whip and a scowl. What could possibly go wrong?

Cool! : )

Quite a standoff brewing! I expect gunfire forthwith.

Where’s Mysta? What role will she play here?
