Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 26, 2018

Good morning™, ugly criminals!

Mr. Austin, listen to Ms. Worthington. She knows she’s talking about.

(I love the gesture that Lizz is doing.)

based on the girls he was with, his looks don’t seem to be much of a problem for him…

Good morning™, squad room confabulators !

I like his sawtooth hair.

You are new in town… aren’t you, Mr. Austin?

How would you like to be Sawtooth’s dentist?

Someone should tell Austin that Sawtooth is one the handsomer Tracy villains. I couldn’t even look at Melies.

I take it that Liz is now no. 2 in Tracy’s squad. She’s the one who seems to be giving the orders around there.

Foreshadowing the eventual demise of Lafayette Austin

Nice touch there, guys, the little throat cutting gesture Lizz is making there.

And, by the way, there’s only one durn Z in Liz, ok?!

Sawtooth takes the prize? He never saw Mrs. Pruneface.

So, is this floppy-haired Good Ol’ Boy supposed to serve as some kind of replacement for Lee Ebony in the “undercover” jobs (now that Lee’s T-Bolt identity is, or might be, compromised with arrest of Bribery)? So far, I have an inexplicable but nonetheless visceral dislike for Lafayette Austin. He has no known connections in Tracyville, other than Pat Patton, who thinks highly of him for some reason(s) unknown to us. Why would he qualify for this high risk task? Maybe Lizz’s warning and gesture are a foreshadowing of his grisly exit from the script….
