Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 26, 2014

Tracy’s expression in panel 2 says a lot!

Like the BB Eyes & Mumbles pics in the 1st panel. Is that Mr. Melies in the background in panel #3? (Sorry, meant to LOL!).

That almost looks like Melies’ head in the background of panel three.

So, Scott knows enough to suspect a scam. I’m wondering if the images of BB Eyes and Mumbles are foreshadowing. Are we going to see them again soon? As for panel 3, no that’s not Méliès. It’s just a couple of moons for the Moon Maid movie set that happen to look like Méliès. I wouldn’t be too surprised if he showed up soon, though, but we have enough balls in the air. Maybe he won’t be back till later. There could be a quick preview of that later story. Wow, there’s a lot going on in this strip.

Is it safe to say we should be concerned for Mr. Shaw’s health now? And is it too cold to say we should NOT be concerned about Kolossal’s? Nah, Kolossal has it coming.

I know Scott. He’s a good guy.

Gee, a cartoonist advancing the story in a comic strip from the inside. (Hmmm does that make this a moebius strip?)

I wonder what Kolossal was saying to Mysta. You don’t think that slimeball would be hitting on her, do you? Nah! He’s too virtuous!

It’s one thing to have pictures BB Eyes and Mumbles on a post, but having J Straight-Edge Trustworthy on your desk? Is that saying something about Tracy that he uses them as a motivator? Guess he knows he can’t be Bruce Banner!

@thunderbearr Thanks for confirming the suspicion that Mr Staton has been using his vast experience in the industry to acknowledge a friend or two (I remember your previous post on Mr. Shaw). As for your photo, is that a Bane reference? ;-}

Just what was Kolossal saying to Mysta? How much did Shaw overhear? What does he really know?. At least he’s had the opportunity to tip off Tracy, should his health suddenly decline….

I think Sparkpluig’s name is going to be ALPO when this is over.

Love this comic within a comic within a comic..

Oh cool! What fun this will be! :-D

Good afternoon everyone!

Good afternoon, VistaBill!

I think they’re video monitors, rather than pictures.

Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s his computer screen that has a picture of JST. Maybe he’s reading the strip on a web site?

Kolossal: “Hi-ya, darlin’! What’s a cute chick like you doing in a dump like this? By the way, haven’t we met at Club Med?”

Mysta: “Zap!”

Tomorrow’s feature race will have a horse’s-a$$ named Kolossal as a late entry, guaranteed to place! You see, he’ll be tied to the back of Spark Plug and dragged. 30:1 odds

Hmm…pretty quiet comments board for a Saturday.

Saturdays and Sundays are generally pretty quiet here. It makes me think that a lot of people post from their work computers.
