Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 02, 2016

Do we count this as four panels …?

One of the most unique layouts of any Team Tracy weekday strip.

Neil Wick (yesterday) said:“I attended the University of Toronto for 6 years part-time. Although the U of T actually consists of several “colleges” I have never heard anyone say that they are “going to college” there. It would always be “going to university.” If they used the word “college” a listener in the province of Ontario (I can’t guarantee what people say in other provinces) would assume they were talking about a “community college” (similar to the ones in the U.S. which award diplomas and not degrees).”Absolutely right! I attended BCIT in British Columbia and the University and college distinction was always very clear. You didn’t disgrace yourself by saying you went to college, if you attended UBC. There was even some snobbery with people who felt the upstart Simon Fraser University wasn’t worthy of the “U”.Then, to make matters worse, they brought Vancouver Vocational School onto the BCIT campus and we had to put up with students saying they “went to BCIT”, when in fact, they were in a 3-month certificate program, not a 2-year, intense, full-time Diploma course. Dang! We even had to wear full business dress back in those days, to boot!

Hey, VB, doesn’t it make you jealous?

I’m surprised to learn that Rikki met up with Kadaver so long ago. I was kind of thinking that she might have first met him when she sprung him from jail, but it was ambiguous at the time.

“So Rikki’s always liked the Strange Birds?” That includes VB?

maybe we will get to see abner WITHOUT the mask!?!?!?

Of course, rikki has seen him “without” a WHOLE LOT MORE! lol

.Good mornining guys!.Late start today! What does Rikki see in tha old “bag of bones”?

“She’s turned up again… on social media!”Oh dear g**, NO! The horror! The horror! Won’t somebody think of the children?

Of course the MCU knows all about how a person’s use of social media can tip off the authorities of criminal intentions – right? ;-)

Kadaver soul mateRikki suspect from the startShe performs old hitsAnd Abner after TracyTogether they live the dream

What’s with the coloring? Shouldn’t Rikki and Dethany’s faces be goth-white?

Dethany’s at least.

Isn’t that his real face?

Well, we did see a mask earlier, so we’re not sure what his real face actually looks like. The title for this story, I think, uses the word “faceoff” as a reference to seeing what’s under the mask.

Is this the finale of Dethany’s crossover? Or will she provide more recce and intel for the MCU? And will the MCU get wise to the threat to Tracy and Tess in Europe?! After all, the MCU seem to be aware that Rikki is currently doing a greatest hits singles act….

yes its been established already that abner’s visage is a mask….we saw evidence of it when (I forget who) had called abner to check on his contracts progress but rikki answered the phone. next to the phone was a “mannequin head” with abner’s face mask on it, and rikki commented to the caller that “abner is in the shower”

wouldn’t it be a kick if abner was really FLATTOP!!!!!

Gweedo stated,Your secret of her visiting you at the crypt is out !-——————————————————.Did Bill H. tell you that, Gweedo? Good morning and welcome back!

Gweedo told me,… letting him in on your “appropriation” of Dethany at the cemetery.-———————————————————————-.Shhh, Gweedo! I don’t want everybody to know my plan!

Gweedo suggested,That guy wont know unless he reads comments Bill !-—————————————————————————.Are you telling me that others can see my comments to you, Gweedo?

Gweedo told me,I thought we were on a secure channel, Bill !-———————————————————————-.

…..we saw Abner’s real face in prison…….I highly doubt they let you wear masks there, lol.

So Rikki is a nice girl who’s just infatuated and confused……what’s next? Abner’s a former preacher who just wants people to meet God sooner, ha ha? One thing about old Abby, he sure seems to be rolling in the dough….he had to have moved out of his old ,mansion after trying to kill Tracy there; obviously had at least one other, and can travel the world in style while customizing fancy killing vehicles at home. And to top all that off, everyone who wanted a contract killing for the past 35 years knew right where to find him; while the police still “haven’t a clue”…….a bribery job that would make Mr. Bribery proud, I’d say…..

Social media? Not smart for a killer to do….

Vista Bill and Gweedo….Hey Guys. I hate to tell you but you are on a “party line” with more than a few “listeners/readers”.

Night-Gaunt49 confessed,Finally saw “Casablanca” then watched it twice for two commentary tracts.-————————————————————————.Now I want to see it again.

Hi, Bill Holbrook here! It’s been an honor for Dethany to appear in Dick Tracy this week, and I offer tremendous thanks to Mike and Joe. For those who’d like to contact me, my E-mail address is bholbrook1(at)gmail.com. :)

“Sixties” is my IQ. And yeah, “boarding school” goes along with “college”.

Ahem….. I grew up in Houston and lived there until I was 60. Maybe we had a different circle of friends. “College” meant Huntsville.
