Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 25, 2016

.

Good morning guys!

I like how the sparkle in the first panel indicates his pearly whites !

Good morning, Vista Bill and Selfy jury members ! (Big Smile)

Hello, SDM, you sweet sweet man ! LOL !

(your buddy told me how you were feeling slighted by my rapier like remarks) (more Laughy)

“Chekhov’s Gallery.”

.

Short and to the point, avenger09. Very good!

Selfy happily smiled and grinned

Confidently sensing his team would win

Once again he managed to get the hit

To give his Giants a fabulous pennant

These cops had no clue and were fishing in the dark

Amateurs they all were a stroll in the park

Unfortunately for Selfy what might empty out his cup

Just like Mr. Green he didn’t know when to shut up!*

.

I do enjoy our poems and today is no exception. Snappy and clear.

avenger09 reminded,

StillDaMan is so upset that no one can wish VistaBill a proper Happy Birthday…

Much appreciated, avenger09 and StillDaMan. Thanks!

As “an admirer of perfection,” I wonder if it was Selfy’s goal to commit the perfect crime. If so, his embezzlement activities didn’t go all that well.

Selfy is still under the radar….

Tracy is getting soft, smitten by Selfy’s smile. :)

a reflection or something in the background of his selfies will be his downfall

So, where are we supposed to post Bill’s Birthday gifs …?

I am afraid that Selfy might blame Mysta for the death of Bellowthon, Since he came sometime after Mysta, he can spin a story that will put Mysta in a very uncomfortable position. He is a spin doctor so it will be easy for him to do that.

Gee, STM sure was a great guy.

You gotta like Sam’s rapier wit at times (mostly all the time)

But are the photos aging while Selfy stays young?

Ooooh, good one Sam.

Once again he managed to get the hit

*To give his Giants a fabulous pennant *

Shouldn’t that be Cubs, rather than Giants? That aside, great poem, av!

Mediocrity is everywhere. Selfy loves his selfies, covering the walls with self-absorption. Sam is wise to the nonsense. He and Tracy share a knowing glance. This narcissist can’t be jailed soon enough.

Bellowthon’s nativism reminded me of Trump, but is Selfie supposed to be a Trump, too? The hair is different – if the same color – but look at that face in the second panel.

Nice poem today, av!

“spose Selfie is based on Trump?

Selfy has some kinda secret weapon. What, exactly did he DO to Coffee & Bellowthon? Better watch him close, Dick & Sam!!

Morning, all! Or at least what’s left it. I’ve known people like this Selfy guy, yeesh. Brings back some interesting memories.

I was confused by that, too, but you haveto take av09’s preferences into account.

.Aye Yi Yi, isn’t there ANYONE who picked up the two references?

Sadly, I haven’t heard of Bobby Thompson before, but that was a good reference. I haven’t seen “The Taking of Pelham 123” either, but I think we used to have it in our video store.

.

I am very thankful that avenger09, StillDaMan, and Neil Wick have done such a wonderful gesture to assure that I have a happy birthday. Thanks so much guys!

.

You can’t imagine how good this makes me feel.

So, That’s what the Donald would look like as a cartoon!

For now, Tracy and Sam lack proof of any crime. But it is quite clear that they regard Selfy with suspicion (and a little derision). The investigation into his story is just beginning.

Meanwhile, Mysta may choose to do some freelance investigating of the less restricted-by-legal-niceties sort….
