Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 20, 2013

Yeesh!

Run and go to the next room, Tracy!

Couldn’t he think of a better way to “stick it” to Tracy?

Snake crawl through them, Tracy!

There’s got to be a second gimmick to prevent Tracy from just running through.

I get the point, Tracy!

I doubt that Kadaver is going to give you a choice of which way you will die, so you’d better think quick, Tracy!

I suppose the walls conflate, activated by a series of pressure triggers in the floor: every step Tracy would take running for it would bring the walls closer together, and he’d be skewered before reaching Door Number Three. Water and electricity don’t get along too well; maybe he can short out the control system, if he can access it….

The flat iron lady!

I love reading the engineering analyses of how this trap works… especially when we all know in advance Tracy’s going to get out of it. (“I do this kind of stuff to Kadaver’s plans through the whole comic strip.”)

Good morning all…

How is DT going to get out of this one? Sunday is the magic day!

Considering his past with the Brow and Mrs. Pruneface, I imagine a room of spiked walls would get a rise out of him.

“Ka-chink” The sound of an intricately laid plan about to fail miserably.

A spiked room? Santa’s going to skip Kadaver this year.

Careful now, Dypak! Stilldamatt might send you to “Sensitivity Training” for offending Panda!

“I’ll just run through the room, and… oh no! The floor! It’s like a movie theatre after a kiddie matinee!”

We’re not talking Spike Smith, Jr. and the Son of Spike Band here.

I sure hope DT has a plan!

A health plan? All those punctures will need heavy-duty band-aids

Tracy hasn’t used his spinach yet….

Rikki has orange eyes….cool…

Perhaps he could use a stack of dead gators to keep the walls from closing in for long enough for him to run through the room.

He probably “disposed” of the construction workers when the job was finished.

I admit that you ought to be able to see the star here.

said: Reminds me of the scene from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”Tracy has the fedora. Now all he needs is a bullwhip. Maybe he could borrow onefrom Doubleupfrom Doubleup.

Okay everyone, NOW you can say Rikki is definitely missing her star on her cheek!

Old Chinese folklore passed down for a hundred and fifteen generations: “Star on rady’s cheek (upper) is sign of purity. Day after star disappear mean she no pure.”
