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

Why would Tracy want to trap himself in the plane?

This whole story is a bomb……

Yes, he still has a gun because after you kicked it out of his hand, you ran away instead of securing the weapon. My cats do better police work than you.

Radish said, “He’s going to drop a bomb, it fits the motif.”

Aha! DT’s good at that!

Wait a minute! How did Tracy get up on the ceiling to reach the cable?

Arrest Tracy for vandalism.

Simple. He walked.

Panel-Panner said, “Simple. He walked.”

Hmmm… Spiderman?

It’s called artistic license, VB, But if ever I saw a case that demanded revocation of license. this is it.’

@Vista Bill:

No, not Spider-Man. Tracy is in a different PLANE of reality.

Can’t you just suspend your disbelief? :-)

I will, later today, post the Dick Tracy Title Avatar entries.

then let the voting begin. One vote per person. No ballot box stuffing, Thr entrants names will not be listed with the ebtries. This is to assure you vote for what you like, not who you ;ike. Again, one vote perperson. a second voet will be invalid. ,

And with that I’m gone. Saturday night was rough, and I hadn’t even psrtied.

That plane is suspended by its canopy?

Hi Guys!

I have found this today:

http://www.plainclothescomics.com/index.htm

Wow!!!

Put this strip out of its misery.

What is that thing in panel one that looks like a bell? And what is that zig-zag thingy?

Oh, wait. I think it’s stairs. But what is that bell-like doomaflatchie?

Credulity must be suspended Logic has been upended The story makes no sense For it there is no defense Why, we ask in disbelief Don’t we have some relief From this retched refuse To which there is no excuse The story has gone from bad to worse Much, some say like this verse Our appetite for action we seek to sate But for that, we will have to wait Who knows how long it will be Before the ending we do see.

I’m confused-yesterday Spacy’s pole dancing on top of the plane, today he’s at the bottom of the stairs and then, again, pole dancing on top of the plane

Macy sez, “He’s got a gun!” And after thinking about it, adds, “BUT I GOT THE LUFTWAFFE!” He then asks himself what he can use to bomb his pursuer. As the aroma of his britches wafts up through his suit, a light bulb comes on in our hero’s head.

It never ceases to amaze me that the writer & artist (I use those words painfully) of America’s worst comic strip display their signatures more prominently than those in any other strip.

That’s an easy one - their signatures are the only things they can draw consistently and correctly day after day!

(Of course, the way this drivel plays out, I wouldn’t be surprised if the spelling of their names changed from day to day. Kinda like a morphing Science Museum building. Or Chief Liz(z).)

Back when I used to sit on Gramps knee and hear the adventures of the man with the radio wristwatch, this arc began. Perhaps my grandson will read the ending to his grandson. But then, maybe not.

I’ve figured out why Tracy can’t use his wrist geenee–it’s been hacked and taken over by that bleepin’ spammer…

Tracy always did want to be pole dancer

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz……………

Will the exploding bombs wake Sam up? Will Liz finally find true love in the arms of Diet Smith? Will the lost child be found and do the parents really want to find him? And what about Tess? Tune In Tomorrow for another episode of: “THE CLUELESS DETECTIVE”

Some papers only carry Tracy on Sunday. So the writer has to force the story to be readable from Sunday to Sunday as well as the rest of the week. Unlike The Phantom that doesn’t screw around and runs a separate adventure on Sunday.

Haven’t voted yet, but it is going to be a tie. They are all correct terms,

SHIRTTAIL How can you say such things about the greatest detective of all time Dick Cheney, er Tracy?

My strip number 21.

I vote for Daily Torture.

Daily Torture

Daily Torture gets my nod.

Dumb Thickhead

Dumb Thickhead provides Daily Torture

And Panel Panner-very few papers carry Tracy either way described

My vote is Daily Torture

maybe the sentient science museum will be the true hero warp the space and trap the bad guy in his own dimension daily torture :)

Hey, LEWREADER, I didn’t call either of them by those terms. even if it does fit both

If Tracy gets in the plane and shoots Blank with the guns, that’s it - I am dropping this comic from my favorite list. No respectable museum would have “live ammo” in the exhibits!!
