Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 14, 2017

It looks like Sprocket/Susan has ditched the dark glasses in the last panel… She’s probably still wearing shoes too and is California bound…

A new life is beginning !…

Good night from yesterday, Vista Bill and a Good morning for today !

Well, at least “Tall” still applies.

She’ll like it anywhere that is far away from MCU !

As O Henry’s “A Retrieved Reformation” proves, love can reform a small-time crook…even a shill like Sprocket.

And with the makeover comes a new name… Mrs. Susan Austin

Is it really goodbye for Sprocket Nitrate?

And Tracy will doubt Silver’s story about Sprocket after they find out that a portion of the money is missing. And the hunt for Sprocket continues.

It looks like Silver gave himself up to give Sprocket what she wanted. Nice move on his part….maybe it will make his stretch in THE BIG HOUSE a little easier to deal with.

Did Sprocket changed back to her old clothes? Or she probably just like orange.

I think Sprocket looks great without her sunglasses. Perhaps she truly will find a happy new life with Adam Austin.

Whaddya know – Sprocket’s got nice eyes…

“She was a long cool woman in-a bare feet Just a five nine, beautiful, tallWith just one look I hadda go meet Cause that long cool woman had it all.” (With apologies to The Hollies)

What the MCU might do is study security camera tapes to see if anyone even remotely matching Sprocket’s description shows up.

Good morning guys!

I wonder if Sprocket’s birth mother is still alive and possibly living in California. She mentioned her mom being a hippie in this strip:

Their trip could include a visit to San Francisco’s historic Haight-Ashbury district:

I can easily picture Sprocket’s mom as having participated in that movement back in the 1960s. Maybe she still lives in the vicinity, and Sprocket will finally get a chance to meet her.

Maybe Adam Austin will write a new “Midnite Mirror” book with Sprocket as one of the good guys, thinking about going bad! LOL

Item one: Conflict to be resolved, Sprocket ’s apparent get-away; how long will it last? Much as many of us would like her to succeed, it does violate the basic premise of the strip, that crime does not pay, but criminals will (pay for their crimes)!

Item two: Anyone else think a new plot line starts tomorrow? At least a cut-away, possibly lengthy?

It appears that Adam Austin lives in Tracy’s city. Will Susan still return to the city after California? Or will she ditch Austin in California and go somewhere else… possibly Arkansas

Does Sprocket have a problem with her eyes or she’s covering something? Why did she hid those eyes behind dark glasses all these years. In fact since she was still a toddler. I want to see her full face.

I must say, Sprocket does have a very lovely face, and she’s always been attractive physically. So far the only criminals to reform is all Goulds; what say gentlemen (and the few ladies) do we want Sprocket to be the first character of this new team to reform?

Holy Tracyville, good citizens! Susan is reborn: shoes; no shades; a new man at her side! If she can only manage to stay on the Straight and Narrow!

Sam and Tracy had literally no clue in their fruitless search for her at the Lyric.

It seems they didn’t count the cash because if they had wouldn’t they have notice it was short by Sprocket’s cut?

Lots of former villans reformed!
