I see revenge on Sam’s face…. Watch out Apollo, Sam is coming to get you.My prediction for tomorrow’s casualties are Apollo and one of the Munro brothers. Sam gets Apollo and Dick Tracy gets the Munro brother.As for the others on the floor, they are either injured or surrendered. The two Munros will die in another story. To make it consistent, a Munro dies in each story they appear until all are dead fish dead. Venus has a following so she lives. She has this thing with Mysta in attracting readers’ attention. Mumbles mumblings keeps him alive for another story. The bullets seem to have a hard time understanding what he says so they just go another way.
Honestly, if Dick himself got zapped, how much would he be missed nowadays? The tons of interesting other characters carry the strip in superb fashion at this point in time…..Dick just appears to close it all out lately……
Gweedo indicated,She could clean latrines until something better opens up.-——————————————————————————Gads! We can’t let that happen, Gweedo! Drano opened the drains already!
Gweedo, Abner wants to know if he can hide out at your place next month. He’s worried about what might happen to him. We’d send him to Transylvania but the trip might be too much for him.
Gweedo brightened Abner’s life,First glance I thought you said it would it would be too much fun.-AS far as hiding out…I will need time to line his room with the lead foil, if he insists on bringing that hot box of his.-—————————————————————————Whatever is necessary Gweedo. I’m sure you’ll enjoy Abner’s companionship. You don’t mind if he brings his pets, do you? You know… the bats, lizards, and spiders.
Great cop art! Tracy and Sam, with the FBI SWAT boys behind them, and radio contact with further back-up, are on a mission. It’s not a good day to be a Blackheart!
His wife? “No dear, I was only holding her until the paramedics arrived; yes I’ll bring home some milk tonight, but I really need to go now. Yes of course I love you”
It’s been awhile since I last replied here. I got to thinking yesterday about where we’ve come to in just a couple of years with this strip. Two years ago, Tracy was hiding and cowering in fear—- the absolute worst example possible of a detective. Seriously, he should have been cashiered because he was a danger to himself and to the force.Today—- a whole different story. Dick Tracy is what he should be. He’s leading his forces from the front, and the bad guys are in for a hard time before they get hard time.
Who could Sam be on the phone to at a time like this ?
I imagine he’s talking to whoever is coordinating the troops on the ground below. It could actually be Lizz who’s doing that or the Chief, or whoever is in charge of the regular SWAT team.
Ronnie, I will pray for your brother. May he rest in peace. I have also been enjoying not only this strip for the past several years, but - perhaps even more so -- the comments and support that you all give to one another.
Let’s see, we have three Munro Brothers, Mumbles, Venus and Apollo left. T-Bolt may or may not be Lee Ebony. Mr. Bribery seems to have had a secret escape plan. On the other side you have Tracy and Sam coming up with several FBI agents. Moon Maid’s on the way down from the roof. I still think one of the Blackhearts will take Diet, Honeymoon and Annie hostage. The story just can’t end with Tracy busting in and saying everybody freeze, you’re all under arrest and everyone surrenders peacefully.
No kidding. I get real tired real fast in the company of old farts pissing and moaning about the younger generation.-——————————————————————————So, it’s not just me (although I readily admit to being an old fart)!
There should be plenty of gun fodder….nameless thugs, to fill in the quota of fatalities on the Black Heart side.
There are no doubt plenty of nameless thugs out there. We were told a couple of weeks ago that Blackhearts were streaming in from all over the country. something like that, I’ll have to go find the exact wording.
Sam not only has the “boom mike” as you have now noted; he also has a wrist wizard, plus he does seem to be using a cell phone. This is a multi-mode operation!
Mike said that there’d be two casualties by mid-September, and we’re likely to see the second of those tomorrow. My guess — Apollo spots Diet and the two girls as the MCU/FBI close in and takes hostages — only to be shot down as “T-Bolt” comes out from deep cover. Could be one of the Munro Bros. falling instead, but they’re more likely to surrender than to shoot it out. They’ve probably got enough cover as security for one of Mr B’s legit operations that even Mona the Mouthpiece could get them out on bail.

Great action panels! Another gun fight coming right up, or a cutaway to the zappy action upstairs?

Joe’s channeling his inner Picasso today, using shadows to give us Tracy and Sam in profile as well as full face in panel two.

Just add “uplifting-heroes-going-to-battle” movie theme music to Tracy’s “It’s time we finished this. Stay Alert!”
Not the cheesy organ-type “DUN DUN DUNNNN” kind, but a thriller/action hero orchestral type.
Suggestions?
