Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 28, 2013

Good morning fellow DT fans…

Hy Pressure’s hair! He’s going from the frying pan an into the fire!

Hy Pressure’s in a daze. Looks like those will be his last thoughts.

Looks like someone’s goose is going to get cooked!

“What deal?” Pressure’s gotten amnesia! Oh, and I hope Doubleup kills him.

You know what would be neat? If Dick Tracy used an axe as a weapon like Axe Cop.

Great art – Doubleup hunched against the pelting rain and wind. Pressure trying to keep on his feet. And bad things about to happen.Woo Hoo!

I see three possibilties for Sunday:1) Doubleup snaps the whip up, and it’s hit by lightning, cooking him like a strip of bacon. (But don’t worry, he’ll survive.)2) Doubleup swings the whip, which wraps around one of the Space Coupe’s magnetic arms, and he’s hoisted away.3) Bye-bye, Hy.This story is great stuff! Great stuff!

Pressure’s mind is still reeling from that electrical attack Mysta unleashed on him….but that’s nothing compared to what Doubleup is going to do.

Yes.

Doubleup looks downright demonic in that first panel.

Yep, Double Up’s a real tough guy tough guy, always using his weapon on unarmed men. Bet Honeymoon would kick his butt in a real one on one fight!

Pressure is about to meet his end but so is Double Up…Two for the price of one.

Anyways, more than 20 years ago Memory Banks proved a deceased person’s personality can be kept alive through a machine and act exactly like that person. So all Dr. Ghote has to do is attach it to a robot body and you have our new Moon Maid….won’t be surprised if a bullet reveals her to be the same underneath as a the Terminator, as others have said before me….

So, it could be that the Pressure Zap had the same effect as the Sparkle Zap, but even if it didn’t, Pressure doesn’t care about the contract anymore. I love how his hair looks. I think we’ll be seeing Pressure’s demise Sunday. No other outcome looks likely at this point. He’s certainly in no condition to fight back, even if that were possible.

Looks like Hy can’t win no matter WHAT he does!

Hy Pressure wanted to buy the farm. I think he is about to get his wish.

Doubleup is in a foul mood foul mood. Fried Pressure looks about to suffer severe whiplash. What could possibly go right?

So Doubletalk just said that if Pressue has not brought the farm then he has “brought the farm”?

I used to get frustrated if I woke up during the night. Now I’m glad because I ran read the strip!!

I guess the check Pressure is totin’ got wet and the ink has smeared. As for my guess, Pressure would logically be the one to “cash in his chips”; Doubleup is too valuable a baddie for Mike & Joe to waste.

The great art never stops as Doubleup advances toward the viewer, advances on Pressure and readies his whip. More of Mr. Staton’s work will be available at the NY ComicCon. Suitable for framing, indeed:

Whoops. Hy, Pressure. Bye, Pressure.

Shrivel Up? Satisfaction? Aw, nuts. My brain won’t give me the answer, even if I whip it, whip it good.

Do Doubleup and Wolverine go to the same barber?

Panel One: Is that Doubleup or Wolverine?

Hy Pressure? You mean, “Bye, Pressure.”

Does Hy Pressure even know who Doubleup is? I was thinking he would act dumb about the contract signing to someone he thought was just a stranger.

Wheres your sense of humor. JPuzzleWhiz was funny. I was thinking it, but he beat me to it.

DoubleUp doesn’t stutter … he has a tic.

Gotcha. Sometimes my humor meter doesnt work too well…Now I see it as it was intended.. funny!:)
