Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 06, 2016

The Asp is in the house.

And the game is afoot…..

Yes, the Asp can get into places that others cannot enter.

You must have a scanner.Great scanner, crappy computer. So old and slow. (The computer, not me!). Picture a wee bit wide but I’m too lazy to fix it. Wonder if I can get the Gocomics colorist to color it for me? LOL!

Tracy and Asp on a ride-along in the back of Sam’s cruiser! The Asp is apt to come in very handy.

Hmm, is Putty Puss alive?

Now for some action!

Nice pic of LIzz today!

CCTV back tracking can also lead them to where PP went for real.

Where would these CCTV cameras be located?

Oh, what a rush! I loves me some Asp action!

The staff at Happydale had best cooperate. Know what I’m saying?

Will they find Putty Puss? If so he can tell them where Notta is. I can’t wait to see what Tracy will have to say to her if that happens!

They will arrive shortly after Screwball, is my guess.

His birth name is Yen Ging Sher and he knows more than just martial arts. He is of the mystic arts as well. He has a daughter that turned to the dark side of life.I’m sorry – to whom are you referring? Your comment sort of came out of nowhere. Are you talking about the Asp? I know he never had any kind of back-story or family during Harold Gray’s run on the strip. I did not think any of the subsequent writers added any, either.

@Avenger09

Good drawing, Avenger. Very nice caricature of Captain Kirk. Looks like Dick Locher taught you how to draw Tracy’s arm. LOL.

Thanks for the info – I didn’t know that. It is difficult to imagine the Asp having a daughter!

.Good morning guys!.Me love your new comic strip avenger09!

Always a pleasure, Detective – when I’m in your strip, I have eyes.

All over the city, where else?

I don’t live in a city where cameras follow my every move. I can’t relate to such things, but I suppose they exist in some places.

The hunt is on.

Truth meets fiction: Apparently the body of a gang member has been recovered in New York City with the feet encased in concrete, the first known real-life example of “cement shoes” which pop up from time to time in fiction. I believe that happened in the Dick Tracy movie. I haven’t seen it for a while. BBC has the story: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36215804

Happydale?…..I wonder if the Brewster Sisters are still there….and their brother Teddy? If they are….I wouldn’t accept any elderberry wine from them.

Hats are obviously in for the guys. I wonder how long it’s been since Lizz was seen in a hat.

Sherpa, here you come!!!

.

Will you promise to put the strip in your favorites?

As far as plans to discredit Tracy, this one is pretty weak. Is Tracy being set up for something? This seems like a pretty small plot, I’m hoping Joe and Mike have something more involved if they’ve brought in The Asp.

To avenger09: Nice work! Now I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to get to the comments for the past few days.

Tracy, Asp, and SamTracking down Putty Puss leadsWho is at the endMany wish Dick Tracy disgracedWill Notta have final say

Leapin Lizards. That means that Warbucks must be around.

I live in a smallish city right beside Ottawa, Canada. I don’t think Ottawa has any street cameras. There may be ATM cameras some places. There are some “red light cameras” in a few places in Ottawa and some traffic cameras (so I guess that covers many of the busier roads). Recently, Gatineau (where I live) has put in some speeding cameras, but I think all of them are mobile, in four vans, so far.

.Gweedo? Where are you?
