Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 28, 2017

Now things so get interesting…

Before you know

Dick will go

With Sam in tow

To investigate this show

There’ll be much woe

To honesty’s foe

Thanks to a moonchild doe

You reap what you sow

ZZZZzzzzz

Why does little Honey look a bit distressed in the last panel ?  Nothing or no one she’s seen so far should give cause for alarm.

I see a dust cloud in the distance. Could that be our intrepid hero, Vista Bust ’em up  Bill ?

UH-OH…..looks like a lot of plans are about to go down in flames….

Silver needs to do some garroting so he can get a move on !

“The find of a lifetime,” hmm. I’d rather have a Space Coupe Baby t-shirt.

Could it be that Bill has stopped at Janet’s stage and grub, the old west’s version of a truck stop, for a heapin’ helpin’ of her world famous pan fried Denver omelets and shoestring tater tots ?  He sho is late gettin’ here !

This feels a bit like Tuesday’s episode of The Edge Of Night, where characters talk about what happened on Monday’s episode of “The Edge Of Night.” ;)

Meanwhile, Tracy continues to pull double duty over on a strip whose initials are “G.A.”

Silver’s ducking out at this point turns out to be smarter than we had realized.

If little Honey’s anntennae are always giving off electrical sparks, it’s amazing that her hair isn’t more frizzy.

Good morning everyone!

Off to a late start!

Now, what would happen at this point if it was Nancy Drew?

Unless there is a story sometime during the Collins/Fletcher/Locher years that I don’t know about – the original young woman that caused Tracy all sorts of grief with her “high society/dizzy dame” antics was Bea Thorndike’s niece, not her daughter. She first appeared in late December 1941 in a story that eventually lead to BB Eyes.

Just read that Hugh Hefner has passed, at the age of 91.

GoComics has added a “Like” button next to the “Reply” button.

Looks like Tracy is going to have to renew his acquaintance with Auntie Bea. The “friend helping her” that Honeymoon mentions is Public Domain, so if Tracy does start looking into the Lincoln Artifact, he will quickly come to wanting to question Domain. Domain, under pressure, would probably try to throw the Nitrates under the bus while at the same time trying to distance himself from them and more specifically from the dual jailbreaks….

Thank you, pre-detective Honeymoon!

I’m not very familiar with Mrs. Thorndike. Where would she and Honeymoon have crossed paths? It seems odd to me that a socialite would confide in a kid who’s not part of her family. That she’d tell a kid about an item that would be highly sought-after by other collectors if they got wind of it seems odder still.
