Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 21, 2010

Well yeah if the license plate contained only four characters, I probably could remember it.

I was hoping the kid would be alive. The scarf was willing but the body was weak.

boooooo @ VistaBill

That was bad.

Actually in panel 1 it looks like he was hit in the head with a hatchet

And he looks like he is trying to wave hello/goodbye on top of everything else.

A touching final scene today, kiddies! Like your ‘Odd Couple’, VistaBill!

He appears to be a bit flat in panel #1, too.

All of their arms are “Too short to box with God”

leakysqueaky712, indeed. It must be expensive to have to purchase all those tailor made clothes…

I could remember the license plate depending on who was offended.

Marg…………since they took out the Dinette Set, I need another comic to laugh at………..throw out some suggestions, please.

I already know my own license plate # I dont need to memorize it.

LOL@ Flight Suit………thats a good one.

Now you say it Maestro.

Son was not only shot, but run over by a steamroller.

Maestro has collected Son’s head so he can take it home and love it…

Thanks, margueritem! G’morning.

Like your interpretation of DT, Flight Suit!

leakysqueaky712, that will take some thinking. I do miss ‘The Dinnette Set’. Have you tried ‘Two Cows and a Chicken’? It’s pretty funny, although not in a ‘Dinette Set’ way.

FlightSuit: Love it!

GM, VistaBill!!

Thankew, thankew….

Panel 1 seems to show a guy with a splitting headache.

Badly wounded in the arm, perhaps.

The last panel is so hilarious.

During the week Dinette set is at Houston Chronicle.Click here: http://www.chron.com/ and under their subheadings click on comics. They do not post on Sundays!

Sometime between panels one and three somebody threw litter on Junior’s dead body. That’s just disrespectful.

“Send Paramedics – NOW

And before “Low Note” had dissapeared the Paramedic was there.

Locher can really “snap the whip” on pacing when he wants to !.

That must have been some thorough effort to save him! The medics didn’t even need to cut off his shirt to attempt to stop bleeding or assess injuries…and by his arm posture, they never flipped him to look for exit wounds, either.

Do they think that declaring a person dead in the field takes place after a Jack-Bauer-style two-finger check of the pulse?

carlo, love your strip–wish it was in here and it was a daily–the worst part is the long wait for the continuation…. one point to make, the translation from spanish to english is just a bit off here and there

In panel 4, the guy dressed in the airline pilot’s uniform tells Macy the gunman is badly wounded and no ID. Macy needs to tell him the guy was hit in the arm and the paramedics just put his arm in a sling. As far as who the fat guy is, Macy tells the driver to read yesterday’s comics and find it out for himself.

I guess we’ll get the rehash of the ambassador tomorrow.

Why is the paramedic kneeling on Kid Rocker’s hand?

The Headless paramedic fails to save another victim.

meanwhile in a parallel universe (Where its always Sunday and in Color) Dad was not standing behind Jr when he was shot but 4 feet way and didn’t spent the last five days going ” No, No, No my son !”

I remember a license plate story that was in our loal paper. A local person was accused of speeding and his license plate was caught on “Photo Radar” in a city over 1000 miles away. This guy and his vehicle were at home. His employment records showed he was at work that day and not in the city where the offense took place. The photo radar picture showed a driver who was not him. The police said he must of loaned his vehicle to someone else. Six months went by and he received a call from the people who made the license plates. He was asked to check both of his plates Bingo - They were different plates. The last digit was one number higher than the other plate. Yet, he was consided guilty by the photo radar. Somehow 3 plates were made of the same number and one plate of the next plate in sequence. . Boy you can’t get good prison inmates these days to make and sort license plates like you used to!!! Of course there was no apology from the police and everyother person that harassed him.

That’s how they confirm a declaration of death. If the supposed decedent doesn’t yell “Hey, quit kneeling on my hand!” then he must be dead.

I remember one hilarious Crime stoppers textbook from years ago .

“When planning to Help Police ID a criminal take special note of the style and color of his necktie for later identification.”

In case your mugged by a well dressed crook I guess? “Ma wheres my necktie..I need to go knock over the corner liquor store !”

Simply more stupidity and nonsense.

Love the “artwork and re-wording” flightsuit.

Hmm ! - Paramedic’s knee on the arm ?

A) - Lousy art by Brozman (?)

B) - The new way to take a ’pulse’ under Obama Health care (?)

”He’s gone Tracy I couldn’t save him … See Ma … NO hands” !

@Flight Suit: Love the mashup! I compose those in my little twisted head all the time but I’m too lazy to actually create them. Good work!

Why does Junior seem to be raising his left hand? Does he have something to say? “Mister Macey! Mister Macey! I know who did… urgh… bleagh…”

And speaking of license numbers–is there any significance to “DT68”?

To nighthawks: thanks. I know but at this moment no daily yet. Sorry.

I’m glad a paramedic finally made a proclamation, rather than a policeman who hadn’t even touched the boy. In my world, policemen prefer that EMTs or paramedics make any such statements (And they in turn prefer not to.). Of course, in my world, paramedics do a bit more than kneel at the patient’s side and declare them dead, but I don’t ask that much of this strip.

LudwigVonDrake said, “Why is the paramedic kneeling on Kid Rocker’s hand?”

Years ago, Maxwell Smart did something like that on a murder victim and Inspector Harry Hoo listened as the victim said, “Your knee is on my arm”.

Thank you, Neon Leon!

I do like that liquid metal car of the future in the crimestopper’s textbook.

Flight Suit said, “I do like that liquid metal car of the future in the crimestopper’s textbook.”

That’s why it’s important to memorize the license plate number, the shape of the car can be changed. I memorize all license plate numbers.

I might be late tonight. Tonight’s my night to go to the interstate highway and memorize the license plate numbers of all the cars that drive by.
