Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 16, 2010

Well, Tracy’s certainly in charge here! Hope everyone shows up! I know margueritem’s out there. G’morning.

And it’s about time, too!

There’s a tiny little sergeant on Tracy’s back.

Another ambulance? There was one on its way prior to the shootings? Was somebody hurt that I’d been unaware of? Between the time that Junior got shot and Tracy shot Virgil, there certainly wasn’t time for Tracy to have summoned the first ambulance…

A hearse might be in order here too.

Floooom! here, Floooom!, there… Appears that there are Floooms everywhere! Hope you don’t run out of Flooooms, Flight Suit!

In theory, the Universe has an infinite supply of flooms.

I like that theory, Flight Suit! Top o’ the Morning, VistaBill!

R_Noonan63, I liked your haiku today.

Good strip today. The artwork it’s excellent. A normal hand finally!

“And now, the end is near…”

Kid Rocker, I can’t say it’s been nice knowing you…

If Macy would open his squinty eyes, he’d see he shot Virgil. Maybe Macy thinks he is doing a screen test for an Inspector Clousseau part. Or, Mr. Magoo.

So, why are Tracy and the Swat team guy looking to the left if Virgil and the kid are to their right? Doesn’t Tracy know he shot Virgil?

I wonder if there will ever be a Flash move with FLOOOOOOM! like there was for “All Your Base”.

“Here a floooom, there a floooom, everywhere a floooom floooom, Old McFlight Suit had a floooom, e-i-e-i-o”.

“To floooom or not to floooom, that is the question”.

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a floooom”.

“From hell’s heart I floooom at thee”.

“Floooom the torpedoes, full speed ahead”.

“Ask not for whom the floooom tolls, it tolls for thee”.

“Ask not what your floooom can do for you, But what you can do for your floooom”.

“We shall floooom on the beaches, we shall floooom on the landing grounds, we shall floooom in the fields and in the streets, we shall floooom in the hills; we shall never surrender”.

“Four score and seven flooooms ago…”

“I did not have floooom with that woman…”

I guess if your down, you cant be apprehended.

GM all.

WW you are too funny.

Why did they remove the Dinette Set??

Be careful what you ask for; you may get it!

Heads…heads…all we ever get is talking heads!!!

Tracy Shoots Telly and then tells the little sarge on his shoulder to “apprehend” him?

“My son! Speak to me! Let me know you’re still alive so that I can strangle you myself, you little #@*!”

prrdh - My sediments exactly. He’s just torqued that he didn’t get to him first.

Ludwig, opined that “the END is near” and he’s - right, I fear. Sadly. no ”CHASE” across the country side or any desperate effort to get on a flight out of the country. I’m afraid Locher instruction book has never adressed that sequence we once enjoyed under Gould.

It’s more a Kilian writing style like the sound of his GUN -“blam!” … and it’s ALL over *!!*

And the we will “await” which one of his TWO favorite “STARTS” Locher will select - to move into the next story. Tess enviegling him to go somewhere, OR a telephone call taken at* HOME (?) - (he’s become quite a “homebody” these days. Scarecly visits HQ. (That way *we may SEE Sam !)

Author Dick in his 12* stories has used the *Tess route FOUR times, A “PHONE-CALL” to Home SEVEN times and one referal at HQ. And that’s from 1976 to present.

You can bet your best dollar, and relax, that Locher will give us a “repeat” start again.

A creature of bad writing habits ?

FlightSuit, - I must commend you (with a tinge of ‘envy’) at your admired versatility in presenting pictorial ‘FLOOOOOMS’

I’m glad that Liam has been gracious enough to let them pass and not be a “Kill Joy” on this one,

It certainly has served to LIGHT UP activity since margueritem started with her “Pig on Wheels” and you have now shattered the board with your “FLOOOOOM” explosions ! ;)

Did they remove The Dinette Set? It’s still at www.comics.com if your computer hardware can take the strain…. (That website is incredibly bloated.)

As long as you’re sending “another” ambulance … please send another Brinks truck full of money … another parade float full of dancing girls … um, what else would I like another of? Another ice cream truck! But wait, shouldn’t have ice cream on an empty stomach – so send another pizza delivery. Pizza for everybody! Except for the gunshot victims, of course. They’ll have to settle for hospital meals for a while … if they’re lucky.

Thx for the info CougarAllen :-))

Dick may have meant “apprehend” in an older sense of the word, “to anticipate with dread or anxiety.” Then the miniature one-man terror squad’s response makes sense. Dick says, in effect, “Phear the gunman!” MO-MTS replies, “He’s down, Tracy” – meaning “No fear!”

Notice Dick not only remembered he has (part of) a gun, he also remembered he can use his two-way wrist teevee to call for help. Maybe he’s recovering from the brain damage!

Why should little details like an extra ambulance interfer with things!

You guys rule, I have more fun reading your comments then the strip some days!

Thank you, Sydney!

Same here!

I have nothing to promise you but blood, sweat, and FLOOOOOMM!

Thank you leakysqueaky and VistaBill. That’s a good one CougerAllen.

In plants, the FLOOOOMM is found right next to the xylem.

“MY SON!” cried Philip Harmonic, “I called dibs on killing him!”

So I’m guessing that with his dying breath, Virgil will deliver The Big Reveal, explaining why, exactly, he was so intent on killing the ambassador.
