Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 17, 2010

Good Lord! I can’t believe this! Anja Nu and Liz are in the lobby! The Blank is using the periscope to spot DT! What excitement…

He…

Can’t find Tracy…

So he checks…

The periscope?

And it works!?

So…

Anja *is* aware of the fact that a member of her cast really is laying dead in a pool of real blood on her stage, yet she thinks DT and Nothing are just playing some sort of game?

LMAO!!!!!! Up periscope! By golly, there is a second hatch after all!

Blank will get off a shot that will ricochet a few times then wound himself. Tracy will be unaware of ths, and wll keep running til at keast Sunday.

Well… Johnny Nothing/The Blank is using the periscope to see DT. I wonder if he will fire a torpedo at him? Anything’s possible in this comic strip.

SIMPLY BAD!!!!

There is a saying: ‘If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all.” Means I can’t say anything about Tracy, ‘cause I can’t think of anything nice.

Still on the run. Tracy lives by the words of Caeser Cowardus:

“Veni, vidi, vamoosi”

I came, I saw, I fled.

Periscope? Wrong prop. Proctoscope would be more appropriate.

@Shirttail Slim:

Nothing nice to say? Don’t worry. This strip is a lot of Nothing!

You can see something on the sub’s own deck through the scope???? The upper end of the scope is way above the conning tower, it would be impossible to see anything on deck.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse…

Wait’ll tomorrow, Ludwig

Open outer doors! Dive! Dive!

If I remember corictly, the sub in Chicago has two periscopes that look across Lake Michigan..

Liz, with a sudden case of amnesia, can’t remember Dick’s name, so she resorts to “Have you seen the two actors?”

Did Tracy climb up to open the hatch, then climb back down to go back up and think his thought bubble? Lotsa light coming from that hatch, too….

Fire Torpedoes!!

FLOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

This type of writing is just an insult to everybody’s intelligence.

Peek-a-boo!

I used to think it could all be explained simply by assuming Tracy is suffering from brain damage, but now I see they are all suffering from brain damage. :(

-Cougar :{)

Liz is furious– I want my money back,Anja! And tell that actor who’s been laying on the floor all this time to stop smelling and get up! He’s not very convincing!

…which DT is now walking across in search of help, which makes him a good target for one of those torpedoes…

This strip is just getting rediculous.

jake, it’s been far beyond rediculous for quite a while now.

Yesterday I asked if anybody could think of a new name for this strip that had the same first letters. So far Ive got four.

Dumb Twits

Daily Torture

Dull Times

Ditzy Trembler

Let me know which one you like or, even better, buggest a DT name yourself.

So far “Daily Torture” is the one I like best .

Best regard to margueritem . Hey !

Thank you, rabbitrose, it’s added to my list.

Everybody, do not vote on a name yet, and yes one of them is mine.

I’ll post up every day to avoid duplicates. Sunday will be the last day. Monday the voting begins.

The three who gave me a DT title, please send it to me again, I didn’t get your names down. Got you rabbitrose.
