Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 25, 2010

Will Dick get a medal, or a chest to pin it on?

All right, youse guys are late, and fines will be assessed accordingly.

Even Tucker’s grateful! What happened to the ambassador’s iron cross? Tracy’s tie shrunk again! Must be the water from the pool.

The Incredible Shrinking Tie! Coming to a big screen near you.

‘Morning, VB!

Leaky is late! A fine will be assessed.

margueritem, I think the excitement here might be too much for the others.

Now we know where Virgil Ohso got the money to buy the Stradivarius and the doctor’s bag of money that he paid Chris Shendo. He spent it to get even with the ambassador! What I want to know is how did he know about the kid having access to his dad’s Stradivarius and how did he find the Stradivarius conversion genius, Chris Chendo? Did Chendo have a website advertising his unusual talent? And, how did Virgil know about the upcoming embassy affair?

Well Ambassador Virgil almost fired you too.

So Virgil’s sole motive was his resentment at being fired, even tho he got away with millions of $$ and the ambassador didn’t have him arrested? Did I get that right?

barticle35, that’s pretty much it….

Glad this one is over!

The math puzzles me a little. Junior takes a $2 million Strad and gets some money for it. Then he uses the money to buy his electric guitar. How much can the guitar cost? Shouldn’t there be some money left over somewhere.

My guess is that when Tracy gets home, Tess and Bonnie Braids will suggest a baseball game to relax him. And, then…

Is that Bea Arthur in Panel Two?

This was…short? Really? This specific strip is bad, just really bad, why does it exist? I’d prefer to silently watch Dick and Tess dance.

I thought this was finally over too until vistabill brought all those questions - might take another few months to get those answers.

Don’t fret, Akenta. We’ll never get any of those answers.

so let me get this straight…we have watched the (highly repetative) passage of TWO DAYS since NEW YEARS!?!?

Time sure flies when one is having fun, doesn’t it!

Another exciting adventure to come soon!

One of life’s rewards!

So, um, how much money did he embezzle? More than 2 million; we know that much. Then when he got fired he didn’t retire to a life of luxury – why not? He wanted more? He was infuriated because he got fired before he could embezzle enough to retire on and live in the style he would like to become accustomed to? So he spent 2 million just to buy a violin, he had to pay that master bombmaker plenty, he had other accomplices to pay – surely he couldn’t have gotten away with embezzling so much that he could spend 2 or 3 million on some petty revenge and still have enough to retire on? How often does the ambassador count his money?

So I guess Virgil is broke now. He probably doesn’t even have enough money to hire a lawyer – he’ll have to rely on the public defenders.

Crime does not pay. :(

Good artwork today.

If by “good artwork” you mean “no hands or arms showing.”

Okay everyone I’m a little slow on the uptake. Question and I haven’t even explored. Where on the internet does the icons or pictures come from? Do you just go to google and type downloads or what? I’ve thought about changing my Lt for a picture. A lot of you have some neat ones and some change seems like everyday.

um wait. That was the whole story? Chester Gould needs to rise from the grave and wreak horrible vengeance on those who have turned his creation into such a pointless, artless, banal and stupid thing.

Another exciting adventure now winds down.

I am exhausted!

Here at Go Comics, they call the profile picture an avatar.

As for finding avatars, many of mine are found with Google Image Search. Pick something you like, Save it to your desktop, crop it so it has the proper proportion for the avatar then upload it.

Enjoy!

What about the bomb maker? I sure want him behind bars. And Low Note? & the other henchperson who disappeared after appearing in 1 or 2 panels?

As others have pointed out, neither Virgil’s actions nor plan make any real sense.

Nothing in the entire Dick Tracy strip makes any sense in my opinion. I think that’s why I enjoy it so much. Maybe they should rename it, “The Return of Feerless Fosdick.”

As VistaBill noted the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross medal that was hanging from the ambassador’s neck a couple days ago has disappeared. Just another sample of the lack of consistancy in the artwork and that the artist can’t remember what he drew previously… and won’t go back to compare.
