    OK… well, the clues are pointing to the decomposed body and Tracy thinks he is dead. How did Tracy know about 3Ds most recent action?

    It’s about 11:40 in the West and the bewitching hour is about to start in the morgue

    “Identify by his - ‘DNA’ !

    “That’s the RIGHT way !

    “The BUTTERFLY – is just ” DUST “ in YOUR EYE !”

    And someone also mentioned dental records.

    Who’s the police consultant for this series – Fearless Fosdick? No, he’s too knowledgeable. The technical adviser must be Simon Penn.

    Panel 3: The way the morgue is lit up – I start hearing the theme music for Rocky and Bullwinkle with the bright lights spelling out the show. Even Vegas wouldn’t be so gaudy with its morgue.

    Maybe in Naperville the GYNECOLOGIST also has a brilliant neon sign complete with flashing stirrups.

    At least she’s not still kneeling in front of Tracy’s crotch.

    These numbers are crazy.

    According to GoComics, here are the number of DT subscribers recorded on the following dates:

    July 13, 2010: 22671

    August 8, 2010: 22729

    Today, August 20, 2010: 22745

    Shouldn’t the numbers be going down? Or are the members of the Dick Tracy Pan Club keeping this strip alive?

    “Even Vegas wouldn’t be so gaudy with its morgue.” No, but apparently they are into show business http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NzgPNpQkno&feature=search

    I thought yesterday they were speaking on the phone and today they’re both in the MORGUE.

    Panel-Panner, I had to sign in just to tell you that you all are the very reason I read this pathetic strip. I suspect that I’m not alone and that many others are enjoying your comments as well.

    Where’d Mattie go? The other day he was in here spammin’ his strip(s). That’s him ok, but he usually stays and pontificates.

    Yes, Yes, he did the strangest thing… he agreed to appear in a Dick Tracy comic!

    AHA! The murderer is a punk rocker girl, and now she has murdered Mrs. D’Buckworth too and taken her place!

    Either that or in the middle of the conversation with Tracy Mrs. D’Buckworth has gotten a haircut, changed her clothes, taken off her preppy pearl necklace, put on punk earrings, and gotten a facial treatment that has taken years off her face. Surely that’s unlikely, though. There hasn’t been time for all that between panel 1 yesterday and panel 1 today. There is a resemblance…. The punk rocker who is impersonating Mrs. D’Buckworth might be a relative, perhaps a granddaughter or great-niece, or just someone who happens to look a little bit like her.

    Tracy is not going to respond to the substitution, of course. If he threw a fit every time something like that happens he would be throwing fits all the time. He will pretend to notice nothing. Perhaps Mrs. D’Buckworth will return sometime – maybe even tomorrow.

    Wow, this city sure likes its signs to be clear. No mistaking the MORGUE or the POLICE station. I mean, other than the fact that they seem to change shape regularly.

    Would that be the front shoulder ot the back shoulder?

    That might be the reason they need big signs.

    So after identifying the body she wants to know if her husband is dead? Or maybe she just wants to know if that moron in front of her is really Dick Tracy.

    I have to agree, the body is probably not really him. It’s probably that bum that had nothing to worry about now that Tracy is protecting the city again.

    “his most recent action”? You mean since dieing? I started following Tracy within the last 2 months because of pans of it I read on other sites. I read Dick Tracy when I was young and don’t remember it being laughable.

    It was the real Mrs. D’Buckworth who identified her husband’s corpse. The punk rocker who is impersonating her now doesn’t know anything about that, so she has to ask if he’s dead. Of course she is probably the one who murdered him, but she doesn’t want Tracy to suspect her so she’s playing dumb.

    “He did the strangest thing..”

    “He wrote me out of his will!”

    “He got another tattoo!”

    “He divorced me!”

    “He said he wanted a sex-change operation and plastic surgery so he could look just like me!”

    “He went koo-koo for cocoa puffs!”

    “He went to Macy’s for some remnants!”

    Maybe like Claude Crystal (1957) he is frozen stiff in the Locker Freezer in her Mansion.
