Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 27, 2017

“Why don’t we just shoot him?” Rare is the time that the villains actually ask that question, which has kept Tracy alive until now.

Shades of Scott Evil!

So, they’re dropping him off on the woods using a snow plow!

Good morning everyone!

A tribute to Vista Bill is coming in the strip, but Mike says they’re working so far ahead that it won’t be till April.

Sawtooth should listen to his underling instead of his ego. He’ll pay for that mistake.

Poor Tracy!

Poor Tracy!

It doesn’t Bode well for Tracy….Tune-in tomorrow!!!

At least they won’t do that usual villain thing where they explain the whole plot to the hero before they kill him.

Finding him shot dead at the bottom of a cliff by using the Wizard signal just isn’t quite dramatic enough, is it?

Since Mysta enjoys temperatures that are close to freezing, I am going to guess that she coincidently will be strolling about the snowy woods, and will will find the unconscious Tracy, then send out a telepathic SOS to Honeymoon

Morning y’all. I hope they are not planning on dumping him in Philly’s snow.

If Tracy’s cops can’t follow a snow plow those guys need to be replaced.

Too easy.

This is just like the Flattop scenario…kidnapped him, decides not to shoot him in the back seat of the car…..and of course gonna end up the same too, lol.

In panel 2 Sawtooth demonstrates the criminal hubris that will bite him in the butt when Tracy is dug out, alive, from the pile of snow that plow will heap upon his unconscious body, yellow trench coat, and fedora.

I kinda like the scenario that H.V. Greenman hypothesized (above), with Mysta coming upon Tracy in the woods (maybe like Chicagoland’s Forest Preserves, near me and a favorite dumping ground for dead bodies and assorted contraband!).

But we shall see….

Comeback to Neil above, in case it was missed…

The I-90 goes just under Erie. On my way here, in that area, I was getting Jim Kelly on the morning show on 95.9, from London.
