Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 28, 2014

Wonderful conclusion! Love this story!

Should say they “came” to a wonderful; conclusion!

Good morning everyone…

Looks like the lab report is gonna wrap up the story, as far as Miles is concerned. Then the rest is up to how far astray Mike and Joe want to chase the Nitrates with the current “distraction”.

Anyone know where I can find episodes of the Archie TV Funnies version of Dick Tracy? I could only find two episodes on YouTube

The Nitrates’ racket is up, not only are they murderers now, but, now the Police know their MO (their pattern)

Good morning all you beautiful people out there (you know who you are!). I have not had any problems with the storyline thus far but am disappointed in today’s strip. Just what is Tracy beaming the information on, the side window? Sam sure babbles on a lot with that cancer stick in his mouth and just what are those blue strips, seatbelts? Today’s not the strips finest moment. That’s okay; I have a lot of off days myself; just read my poems! LOL! S.I.T.O.A.N.M.I.

A lot of exposition and story back-filling today: the calm before the storm for the criminal siblings. It is good to see potential loose ends being tied up before the big action climax….

Avenger, he is beaming the info onto the windshield. Just like a heads up display.

Are we really in for the climax, or are we being set up, much like Sam? Could be the story line will continue for some time. Hope Sam has plenty of extra smokes with him.

We see Sam’s shoulder belt in the second panel, but the blue strips in the third panel are the windshield wipers.

No Particular Place To Smoke (Apologies to Chuck Berry!)

Riding along in my automobileMy partner beside me at the wheelI read the data at the turn of a milemy curiosity running wildcrusin’ and coughing’ and starting to chokewith no particular place to smoke

Riding along in my automobileI’s anxious to tell him the way I feelSo I told him slowly and sincereand he leaned and blew smoke in my earcoughing’ more and continuing to chokewith no particular place to smoke

No particular place to goSo we continued through the snow The hunt was on both NitratesI had to stop to take a breakCan you image the way I feltI couldn’t unfasten my safety belt

Riding along in my calabooseStill trying to get my belt a-looseall the way home I held a grudgefor the partner of mine that wouldn’t budgecrusin’ and coughing’ and starting to chokewith no particular place to smoke

Yeah, except for Sam’s cig smoke. (What, is it radioactive or something?)

Amazon offers a 4-dvd collectionhttp://www.amazon.com/DICK-TRACY-COMPLETE-LIMITED-EDITION/dp/B000GG4XTW

Pick up the pace, I don’t see this “conclusion” everyone is alluding to.

I’ve found the Archie TV Funnies usually get taken down fairly quickly on Youtube, I think they get flagged for copyright infringment. Which sucks since you can’t find them for sale from an official source. There are also old VHS tapes you can sometimes find on Amazon or Ebay with the shows.

Actually, Myles had a “falling in” – Ie; Lena’s food dish.

Question, though….if this was such a successful, long running scam, then why kill Myles to begin with over his share instead of keeping it going?
