Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 19, 2016

.Good morning battle fans!.Rikki is relentless in her pursuit and the BMBG team is braced and ready to provide the latest up close details as they occur. Stay tuned!.

Oops! That will throw a wrench (or “spanner” if you’re British) into Rikki’s works.

Good morning, Bill, and what a heat we have !!!-I just love how Matty takes control of the situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes over Bribery’s position as he is clearly a go-getter and wont let anyone even try to slow him down as he barrels his new ride to the top ! -So, what I wanna know is, will he suicide Rikki or incapacitate her for an easy pick up ?

Now we know how Matty is going to kill Rikki…..I bet there’s a lake in that park and I’ll bet that Rikki doesn’t swim and that car sinks like an anvil.

I also believe that Matty will kill or attempt to kill Rikki. If Rikki survives. She will rat out Bribery and his whole gang.

Is Rikki connected to a network? If she is not, I wonder how Matty Squared was able to get into her computer.As of now, Rikki should abandon her Vampire Car if she does not want to get into real trouble – find her way to Abner or, at the very least, spend some jail time.

Before Matty showed up, it was impressive how well that thing tore through trees.

If only she can now tear through Matty !

“Then, as if on cue …”

For once, Pat catches a break.

Well, I guess I sort of called it, with Matty taking control of her vehicle. Interesting how they tied in the on-line capabilities with Rikki controlling the security hardware.Now comes a battle of the hackers….

Looks like the terrorizer is about to become the terrorized.

I think Rikki will survive, but her face will be hideously scarred, like Abner’s.

Now it just turned interesting…

Sorry to slam on your lady VB but Rikki doesn’t seem to be the brightest bulb in the chandelier does she?!? She REALLY thinks Patton would go out anywhere WITHOUT his two way wrist genie?!?

Will Matty Squared take control of the Vampire Mechanique and run Rikki into the Lagoon (where Flattop met his demise?) or will she escape his plan and be apprehended by Tracy and his team, THEN turn on Bribery and give them info on where he is?

(she DOES know where his hq is doesn’t she?)

I think Bribery wants Rikki dead, if for nothing else but to keep Matty’s existence a secret.

It’s a cyber-carjacking!

Is Matty’s middle initial “P”? If so, I know his weakness……

I doubt if she can get out of the car at this point if Matty is in charge.

And now …

… a little traveling music!

We are on a merry ride here…TBC

Lights! Camera! ACTION!We have plenty of action here today. Patton gets out a distress call the modern way.Rikki crashes through the park’s trees and vows to take out Pat (and I don’t mean “on a date”).And then, deus ex machina almost literally, Matty Squared appears on Rikki’s computer screen and announces his Vampire Car-jacking!What will come of all this, I don’t know. But the action is furious and things are happening….

I called this yesterday!

If I can let go of Pat not calling backup (that seems to be the issue with nearly every story) I really like this strip. I am curious if Matty’s B branding exists in the virtual world.

Well, on the bright side, it’s not Siri.

Rikki for revengeMissing Abner alreadyActing recklesslyTears in her eyes cloud judgementJoin Abner or honor him

Surprise, Rikki! Didn’t see that coming, did you?

They can’t kill off Rikki this easily.Besides, she should get a reunion with Abner, who can’t be dead since there’s no body. Maybe they’ll get a good, romantic clinch, and wherever they are blows up/ burns down/ implodes/ etc./ and they go out together.

…….could be Abner is the one who survives and wants revenge…..just have a feeling we’ve yet to see the last of him……will Vista Bill turn rogue and team up with him for this? Now THAT would be a comic for the ages, lol

.As the situation in the park worsens, BMBG is bringing in their heavy equipment..
