Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 01, 2014

Exciting!

Silver & Sprocket are this generation’s Bribery & Ugly Christine!

Well I guess the age old question has been answered…car 54 is in the woodland hills area

If the cops chasing them are called Toody and Muldoon . . .

Time to see how this Dick Tracy car chase will go….most previous chases have ended in EXTREMELY VIOLENT DEATH for the bad guys…..

They have an accident. The cage breaks open and Lena goes to town!

Good morning, all!Let the chase begin!

And the chase goes all the way to a shopping mall in Tulsa! (Okay, one of many Woodland Hills Malls I’m sure…) Mornin’ VB!

Tune in tomorrow for a spectacular car crash.

“Ooh! Ooh! Francis! It’s the Nitrate’s car”.

The game’s afoot! Lena is restless! And tomorrow is Sunday: it’s gonna be a great day!

I guess now we’ll see what this specially-built car can do

My question is didn’t the Nitrates catch a train to get far away from town? How did Tracy catch up with them so fast?

Good morning everyone…

Tomorrow…the chase!

I wonder what Mrs. Flattop will think about her son’s car getting wrecked? Yow!

Will we see a cameo by Tootie and Muldoon???

Ken in Ohio: And even the phony paperwork may be phony since it also appears established that the Nitrates actually own the car..So, why did they pretend to be the Joneses?.That has been one of the more curious disconnects in this story.

Could Sam be Lena’s next meal?

It’s just like cpalmeresq said, Exciting! wonder how many rounds of ammo the old looking brown, rambler, nash car has and did you know one spike strip would fix that. I’ll be glad to see these two thugs go down. by the way what was that train trip/ride all about? there seems to be some holes here.

Can the Nitrates con their way out of it, just as they did in front of the theater? After all, they’re only being stopped for questioning. More evidence has surfaced, but no smoking guns (so to speak). Nothing that Tracy and Sam can make an arrest on.

Took me a second in the first panel. I thought Sam was talking to ME. But it appears he’s reporting to the windshield wiper. :)

I have the bad feeling that Toody and Muldoon have just been red-shirted… but they will buy enough time for Sam and Tracy to arrive on the scene.

Lena’s hungry. Better find her some food. Perhaps a blue (police) steak. Rare of course.

There’s a holdup in the Bronx.Brooklyn’s broken out in fights.There’s a traffic jam in HarlemThat’s backed up to Jackson Heights.There’s a scout troop lost a child.Khrushchev’s due at Idyllwild.Car 54 Where Are You?

Daniel Quilp asked a couple days ago whether I am making references to Beany and Cecil. The answer: You bet your sweet bippy!.Frequently, I try to squeeze Leak and Lena into the same sentence..Oh, What the heck!

“Car 54 Where Are You?” was created by Nat Hiken who also created “The Phil Silvers Show”aka “Sergeant Bilko” which I personally believe is one of the funniest TV shows ever made. Al Lewis, Fred Gwynne, and Joe E. Ross all appeared at various times on “Bilko” with Ross being a semi-regular. By most accounts Ross was an extremely unpleasant man to be around (in contrast to the highly educated and artistic Gwynne), and I have heard that if Car 54 had come back for a third season, it would have been without Toody.

My question is how did the Nitrates get the hyena off the train? I don’t believe the railroad would have allowed them to tote her into the passenger compartment. Somebody would notice a big animal crate being off loaded.

Help, I’m an old Dick Tracy Freak. Tomorrow should be good. I love the Sunday Funnies…
