Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 02, 2015

Now, THIS is great! Thank You, Mike & Joe!

Good to see Mole again! And it makes perfect sense to get him involved here.

Mole’s entrance was set up somewhat by that seemingly-random Toad Sunday strip awhile back – He’s gettin’ hitched in the fall, remember?

Plus, I think someone here had called Mole’s involvement in the search for “The Third Tunnel.”

Of course….Mole is the perfect guy to help solve this riddle.

Exactly what I was thinking , NG49!

Good morning Tracy fans especially Gweedo. The Mole has the missing piece to the escape plan. Hooray!________@boboscar: thanks for posting the list.________Have a bountiful weekend my friends.

What about two of my favorites Mr. and Mrs. Pruneface

Hopefully, whatever Mole found will lead Tracy quickly to that rumoured “third tunnel” and the missing rail car, and maybe to Jimmy Choo Shooz, himself. Even if they find the rail car, however, there is still the matter of the gold beyond that. Apparently it was “transferred” (to another vehicle?). Maybe the third tunnel will lead to that boat (barge?) or whatever.

Bill ! Is there any chance Mole might tunnel in on you and Rikki during a “private” moment ?-————————————————————————————Gweedo, Mole knows every nook and cranny of the ‘underground’ world. I’m sure he knows where me and Rikki reside. He’s a real gentleman and would call first.

Good morning all!

The Mole Rules the Underground…

Well this morning as I read each post - I think, most noted RELIEF . . . . . . and anyone ‘listening’, might’ve heard soft - “Thuds”, as ‘thin’ Veils covering Impatience (and Frustration?) hit the floor !

It hadn’t been particularly ‘entertaining’ to see Dick Tracyengaged in just ‘pacing’ tunnels, ‘talking’, turning, then returning only to draw a BlankSome even objected to ‘observing’ the pacing failing, they reality had things to say. Then Tracy read a book, he took another way, but his score’s still sat at Zero, we’re already into May !

Some had ‘enjoyed’ the ‘procedural’ way (but had to - Nothing Else in sight - not even the finish - to the highly interesting, Johnny Adonis fight?)

Gweedo my friend’s on target, he got his “graphics” right. 5 little Smiley Figures Clapping*. . .* they’ll continue till tonight,

They were celebrating Tracy using Head, instead - those slow ‘paced’, no place, “dum-dum” feet . . .

Now he’s talking to the “digging” man, one who “KNOWS” - the Mole, in his underground retreat

According to The Mayo Clinic, VB, your medical condition is called “PW”. And, if one has to leave this wonderful life, there are plenty of envious people! Gweedo and me, for starters!

Hmm, the Blackhearts’s and Tracy’s trails soon to converge from different angles. Sunday could be quite telling how the story goes.

ANY FACE . . .

Mole “… He’s gettin’ hitched in the fall, remember?”-———————————————————————

Hitched ?Do you think he’s UP to it ? He’s ‘aging’ ! ?Or is it technically married, but really just - Platonic ?

From his origin story (1941) He had unusual STRENGTH - in his Wrists and Arms, this was demonstrated in choking Duke to Death and later, “digging” upward through compacted dirt in the Junk Yard above, in an escape bid !

In the Curtis / Staton era - aging, seems to have deprived him of the once renown strength. Demonstrated first, by failure against Prof. Wrestler Thunderchild (3-03-12) when he was physically tossed into a crowd from a Ring staged in the Locher Auditorium . . .

Then again, in a car fight (2-19-13) he was ‘bested’ by murderer / pedophile, Sweatbox !

And he was already a Grandfather (to Molene - now deceased), in Gould’s 1971 - Johnny Scorn story-line.

Yet, on the other hand, B.O. Plenty and Gertie are not likely very much younger in age, and as I recall, it was only 4 years ago they produced Li’l Attitude ! Guess in the Comics theres’s a little more latitude to run around these issues ?

So it all depends on Mike and Joe ? There could be some ‘furry kids’ (say twins?) who take well to a subterranean life style in a future - Dick Tracy ! ?

It’s good to see the Mole again, but I hope and pray the Mole NEVER go bad again! He has a future wife (I hope) and a kid that loves him. Having a good family beats crime any day!

It’s good indeed to see The Mole again! Since his reformation, he’s become one of the most likable characters in the Tracyverse. And, just as Pouch knows all that is happening above ground, who but Mole would be so totally informed about all things underground? This should help Tracy and the MCU immeasurably in tracking down the missing gold, wherever it is….

Be careful, Mole. As they said during WWII, although I wasn’t around, “Loose Lips Sink Ships!”

…it’s cancer : (
