Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 05, 2018

Good morning™, guests of the Winrock!

I hear that the caterers are giving free rides back to town for certain special visitors.

My oh my, how can it be

Today’s the same as yesterday as far as I can see

Perhaps the one in charge forgot today’s to send

If Locher was the writer the insults would never end

Hopefully tomorrow will finally be something new

Like Ghost giving some gas so we can see what Tracy will do

Still “Gouldishly Brutal.”

Right up there with trapping Tracy’s gun hand in a vice.

Somehow I have the feeling that car is going to take a hard trip down the side of a mountain……

Welp, that sure escalated quick.

Once Tracy comes to, all he has to do is lift the handcuff up over the ball of the hitch. Ghost should have made it tighter.

It is just possible that Tracy will see this as a clue that Ghost had something to do with the death.

Nice transition from Sunday. Tracy’s facing a devastating dry cleaning bill. Pepper needs to chill.

I doesn’t seem smart to murder someone in a car with a vanity license plate.

Working for Ghost is really a “drag”

Why am I suddenly thinking about Aunt Edna’s dog from the first Vacation movie?

I hope Ghost knows how to drive in the snow. Otherwise, this could be a smashing failure.

I think the first tenth of a mile would be sufficient.

Maybe Popeye or Alice will show up to save the day LOL

How does a guy with no eyes see?

Sorry, still not feeling well.

Seems obvious to me that Ghost is an Onibla

?

Oh, sure – that won’t draw any attention at all…

The good, the bad, the ugly

The most notorious example in comics of this murder method was featured in Wertham’s Seduction of the Innocent. Wertham sampled a panel from a crime comic showing gangsters murdering rivals by dragging them behind a car on country roads. See https://www.fulltable.com/vts/h/hcom/im/35.jpg , top right. The sample is half a splash from a story called ‘Gang War’, True Crime Comics #2.

Okay, someone’s gotta say it: this is going to be a drag for Tracy!

I would think it safe to assume our hero (Tracy, for anyone who may be a Doubter) will survive, possibly rather the worse for wear, but alive for sure. Or maybe there will be some sort of Rescue In The Nick Of Time—e.g., if Tracy comes to before Ghost shifts into Drive (I assume an automatic transmission these days) and pops the cuff off the hitch just as the wheels start to turn….

This Ghost is a malicious cuss, isn’t he. A real Gould-like bad guy.

Flash Override! I just figured it out! Tracy ‘s been studying Bribery for so long that this is how he’ll escape: Spoiler Alert! This Dick Tracy is a body double!
