Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 20, 2010

Will we see Junior at last?

Good morning all! The garage is back and the walkway is leading to it again.

It’s magic I tell ya, magic!!!!

Okay, another use of the house in panel 2. The walkway looks like it leads into, I dunno, a door frame standing in air. Does Tracy have a body scanner in front of his house?

Dick, we traced the rocks, and they’re coming from inside the house!!!

Smoke and mirrors!

Gads, Radish! Your avatar is uglier than mine! At least you know the origin of your avatar.

BTW, this is the final day for my ugly avatar.

Aw, VB, I think he’s kinda cute.

margueritem said, “Aw, VB, I think he’s kinda cute.”

You’re not falling asleep on us, are you margueritem?

I’m staying put

welll its not like he was going to leave and go to work or anything.

I think thats what Chief Liz was trying to tell him “You can’t stay in your house.. YOU HAVE A JOB !”

The note will reveal prints no doubt But they will be Tracy’s I must point out A clever rouge would gloves wear But the great defective is not so aware How will he be a part in the play If in his house he does stay The house has repaired itself again The damage as it had never been What a truly most amazing abode Surely it’s cannot be built to code So we wait and wait for exposition Of a story sadly lacking composition.

Addendum: A clever rogue would gloves wear. Thank you runar.

That’s all anyone ever does in this strip anymore is talk on the telephone!

Jeesh!!!

A clever rouge is red in the face.

gah, looking at the garage, the roof appears flat, then looking at the left side of the house, the roof looks slanted. This is more mind-twisting than an Escher sketch.

That thing like a door frame is probably an interdimensional portal the aliens set up during the night. Will Dick notice anything different, with all the hallucinatory morphing going on? Or will he be distracted by something else? “Oh, my garage is back – good, maybe my car is in it” … and walk right through the portal, oblivious to the danger?

-Cougar :{)

Having cleverly used someones house for the night of the rock throwing incident Tracy now returns to his own home. (Boy won’t those neighbors be mad when they return from Vacation ) We join Tracy as he makes his daily call to Chief Liz.

“Dick you won’t believe this but everyone on the force had a rock thrown through their window last night stating that your a mystery guest in a play.”

“Really Chief those pranksters and kids were busy last night. I think I winged one of them , I heard him scream. Hmm that reminds me my morning paper is late .. better call the Gazette. What I really need is a good cup of all day coffee! Well Chief we can’t let this rampant window breaking go on , don’t we have someone at HQ who is a Detective and can look into this???”

BTW any prints would be on the note which Tracy has already ruined by reading it barehanded I’m not sure you can dust a rock for prints but it was wrapped in the note. They should have just sent him a text Message from a pay as you go phone… get with the technology you dumb crooks !

Just how many kids do DT and wife have so far I know of two? I agree though DT has to go to work. Convenient though to have a mystery at actual home gives an excuse to stay home.

There is Dick Tracy Jr (Adopted) (Who should be about 80 by now) Bonnie Braids Vitamin Flintheart Tracy Sam Catchem (illegitimate, acknowledged 1948)

did I miss any?

Yeah - He could get the message on his two-way…..wrist………….rad.i…..o

Never mind

The acting is already pretty bad - why would anyone want Tracy to act at bad acting?

three children dick tracy junior (adopted before dick married tess) bonnie braids tracy joseph flintheart tracy

sam was dick’s partner junior married moon maid, and sparkle plenty

As far as bedroom over the garage, would have to be for midgets

Tossing a rock through a window what a Great way to advertise your Up comming play. I’ll bring that up at the next meeting of my Theater Group. We are doing “Wizard of OZ” this summer.

Flying monkeys tossing rocks through windows would be a great advertising strategy sure to win the hearts and minds of your patrons !

Sam was dick’s partner

You mean you didn’t know about that long ago tryst between Dick and Mrs Catchem? lol

Mr.Bribery asked : “Will we see Junior at last?”

NO ! You’ll see one panel of John L ….. !

That’s really a “shape shifting” house, we’re back to a single panel attic window and a garage … the way it used to be..

What the heck happened to that new, upstairs bedroom, the broken window and the rock ?

Time to show this one in Frog Applause …

Obviously Tracy is the Lost Time Lord, with a TARDIS whose chameleon circuit still works…

tune in tomorrow as the house turns…

into maybe a trailer, teepee or tudor, who knows?
