Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 16, 2016

So what is thought to be Spicy’s collar is actually a choker.

.Good morning all!.I’m a-waitin’ Gweedo! Good morning Gweedo, 22ph, Jonathan, avenger, and all the other DT fans!

Spicy’s looking good today!

Seems Specs doesn’t hold his liquor very well……

What’s Spicy hiding under that collar/necklace?

Also, apparently it’s okay for extra-national good guys to smoke.

Maybe Sam should put in for a transfer?

Gweedo nicknamed,Hi, Billy !-————————————————————————.You can call me Bill, Gweedy.

Props to Shelley for Specs’ waverin’ word balloon in panel #3.

The last panel reminds me of the scene in The Godfather Part II (which also takes place in Cuba) where Fredo Corleone wants to order a drink:Fredo: “How do you say ‘banana daiquiri’?”

Michael: “Banana daiquiri.”

Fredo: “That’s it?”

Michael: “That’s it.”

Meanwhile, what is happening with Tracy’s family back in the USA?

Spicy is pretty hot.

Um…I think that was Laynegg’s point.

I’ll have a banana daquari too, please..

AnyFace said: “What’s Spicy hiding under that collar/necklace?” Laynegg said: An Adam’s apple maybe?JPuzzleWhiz said: I doubt it, since females don’t have them.

Does Bruce Jenner (aka Caitlyn Jenner) count as a woman now? :)

Spicy is dressed for trouble; indeed, she looks even hotter in the Comics Kingdom colorist’s version. Specs is in no condition to be gambling or drinking another “bananama daquiri,” as Spicy has realized.Meanwhile, it looks like the question of the day is, how quickly can The Three Amigos and their prisoner get back to Havana and the Casino Estrella?

Gweedo, thank you for the link to The Godfather Wiki. There’s tons of great stuff on there. I bookmarked it for future reading.

¡Muy caliente!

I have a feeling that the treasure vault is going to turn out to be a big dud. What happens next depends on how quickly Tracy and co. can get there. I don’t think Specs is going to be turned in to the Apparatus. In fact, I don’t know if we’ll even see any more of the Apparatus in this story. I would think they are being saved for a bigger story later. It also remains to be seen if the money from the robberies will be recovered. That might be one of those loose ends we don’t hear about.

No offense meant to gays or trans women

It was just a possibility of the presence of adam’s apple in women, that is, if Caitlyn is considered now as a woman.

I, too, think Spicy is very feminine looking but I have seen some very feminine looking transvestites and wouldn’t it be an interesting twist for the Tracy World? Just saying. ;-)

I would be surprised if any Gay man would be interested in a male that has been sex changed into a female.

There are certainly people who are interested in trans partners. Whether those people are classified under the label “gay” is up for debate, I suppose. Sometimes, labels just confuse things.

Here are a couple of pictures of those culebra cigars, for those who are interested.

.I occasionally smoked Rum River Crooks when I was in the military (1950s-1960s). 5¢ each.
