Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 07, 2010

Tracy’s a detective, he should know whether the mail is a weird ad or a gag… shouldn’t he?

G’morning all!

You would think so, Alley.

It’s the new plot, so it’s definitely a gag…

Just the start of another meandering story.

OMG, what happened to Liz’s fingers? They are at entirely the wrong angle for her hand.

Ahhh amazing new plot “Dick gets Junk Mail!”

I hope this ends with Dick tracking down and shooting the junk mailer.. once more making mail safe for the rest of us.

It’s no gag!

Dear Mr. Tracy, I am Flight Suit, barrister for the Honorable Idris Legbo Kutigi, Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has entrusted me to prevent his fortune from falling into the hands of the rebels who’ve seized control of our country…

Tracy receive again the old mail? No e-mail, no internet?

Eish, some serious claws there in panel 2

Is that a pornographic painting hanging on the wall in Panel Three?

More importantly, how is it that they managed to attend a cultural event without a major crime or disaster occurring?

Boy, I miss Chester and the old bad guys! These story lines are so lame…

flightsuit, well, now that you mention it– that DOES look a little phallic doesn’t it?— and another , less imaginative mind might see it as a bent up bugle….. sort of an ink blot test, whatever you see is a peek into the hidden recesses of a sick, deranged mind…

present company excepted , of course!

What happened with the chief calling Tracy a while back? I thought that was the start of the next story but it meandered back to the tribute concert.

You know Flightsuite that email you talk about I get those too. Me wonders if whoever does that will ever give that up knowing people know it’s a scam.

I hope DT didn’t get one of those checks we received $2700 deposit in your bank account and send 10% back. Yea right. Out where we live some one actually did that and they got snukered. I checked our bank to see if the check could be checked out first as I felt it was a scam. DT that letter could be a scam. We trashed the scam check as I knew the check was at the time a scam. I think it was for mystery shopping.

So, the previous “story” is finally over?

Today’s strip is a festival of mutant hands and fingers! Look and behold!!!

Somehow, “festival” wasn’t amongst the words that came to mind

It’s an invitation to a concert.

Naperville, Illinois is putting a statue of Dick Tracy on their Riverwalk: Dick Locher lives in Naperville.

The statue is expected to move more quickly than the plot of the newspaper strip.

Perhaps Tess is an alien from another planet.
