Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 25, 2015

Finally, some answers about T-Bolt…..(maybe?)

“Source of information” = informant!

Denoument!

Did Tracy even know Mysta was there? He’d seemed surprised when the Smith Industries helicopter entered Ace Tower airspace.

T-Bolt is still feeling the effect of her meeting with Mysta. It might have been an electrifying experience for her. At least she is alive.Tracy has to arrest her to keep her cover alive.

Dang! It’s taking a long time to move this part of the story along!

Swiss cheese anyone?

Good morning guys!

Threads in this tale are slowly being tied off. I’m hoping Bribery gets his “reward” as it were….

I guess by Sunday we will have a body count and see if anyone in the building knows where/how Bribery got away.

T-Bolt is still dazed. I see Tracy has his handcuffs out and ready. I think he will “arrest” T-Bolt in order to maintain her cover….

Wait a minute – When did Tracy know that Honeymoon was in the building? The SWAT team came, because of the evidence gathered after months of “desk work”, to arrest the Blackhearts. They didn’t know that Honeymoon and Annie were visiting the museum – that was a coincidence. I expected a “What in the world are you doing here?” reaction when Tracy first found them. They might have known that Diet was missing – there was one strip that showed his secretary notifying security that he had missed a meeting – but they didn’t know he was in this building either, did they?

I believe Tracy found out about Smith’s having been abducted the same way he found about the gold’s location: undercover detective Lee Ebony. Tracy’s “desk work” would have helped secure the warrant to search the Ace Tower. His blu-tooth device allows others in the MCU/SWAT team to share developments as they unfold. Honeymoon needs no such device to know that Mysta was hurt by Bribery.

Good Morning to All!!!

Top of the morning everybody.-—————@William Weedman and 22ph: I agree, maybe Sunday will be the wrap up.-—————Have a prosperous day my friends.

It’s not that hard to imagine how Tracy knew that Honeymoon and Annie were in the building, if T-Bolt really is Lee. In that case, Lee must have been the one who sent a message to the authorities off camera confirming the Blackhearts had the gold. Once Lee further discovered that Diet had been kidnapped and that Honeymoon and Annie were also in the building, is it really that hard to believe that she would have signaled the authorities with that information, too? Of course we wouldn’t have been told about it, because Mike wanted to keep the readers guessing about Lee’s true identity as long as possible.

Also, if Punjab is in the building (coming out of nowhere) it means that Annie must not be far away.

I luv all ya mugs, but some of you are a little quick to critcize the story teller rather than taking ten seconds and using a little common sense to think things through. If we assume T-Bolt works for the police, which has been hinted before and is kind of confirmed today, then ask yourself, has she been contacting them with intel about Blackheart activity? Yes. Did she know that the Blackhearts kidnapped Diet Smith? Yes. Did she know Annie and Honey were in the building and potentially in danger? Yes. Is it likely she would have warned the police that Diet and the girls are in the building so they could be on the lookout? Pretty likely. Soooooo, what’s so hard to believe about all this again?

All of a sudden there is a lot of smoke in the air (panels 2 and 3), more than we’ve previously seen in the aftermath of the shoot-out scenes.

This is the room where Mysta zapped T-Bolt. Did she set the place on fire?

It’s humorous how some posters simply cannot bring themselves to accept the possibility that the creative team made a mistake. It’s almost like to refer to them in human terms is sacrilegious!

Hmm …

If T-Bolt is a deep cover agent, Tracy might speak more freely now that Honeymoon, Annie, and Punjab have essentially been hustled off-camera.

Diet Smith had hinted that he might suspect a thing or two about T-Bolt, though Tracy likely doesn’t realize that.

Will Sunday’s strip be all about Answers …?!

Another question came to mind (mine, at least,) to ask more hawk-eyed seasoned posters here:

Tracy, in the first panel, says they had searched but didn’t find Bribery.

Did Tracy know Mr. Bigg and Mr. Bribery are one and the same?

I don’t recall anytime in the storyline if Tracy knew Mr. Bribery was alive. Thanks to the veteran posters (Pequod, Willy, Anyface, Neil, and the many others,) we had plenty of back history about Bribery and his “death.”

So, for me, for all intents and purposes, Tracy thought of Bribery as dead, but mentions him by name in the first panel. Or did Team Tracy meant to say “Mr. Bigg?”

Thoughts, answers, opinions appreciated!

Sorry, but it’s way too easy to explain everything with; “T-Bolt/Lee Ebony has been feeding the MCU information for some time now".

.

“Sam, is it going to rain tomorrow?”“I don’t know Tracy, LET’S ASK T-LEE!”“Tess, do you need me to pick up some milk from the grocery store?”“I don’t know Dick, LET’S ASK T-LEE!”“Lizz, should I lay $50.00 on the Cowboys to cover this Sunday?”“I don’t know Chief LET’S ASK T-LEE!”.LOL!!!

“everyone is ok”? Are Venus, Melies, Apollo, are of this? Hmmmm…..maybe he meant everyone in front of him…..
