Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 29, 2018

Good morning™, resource officers!

Devil got caught scoping out the territory. Her cover story is pretty flimsy, but I guess that will work if she scoots out of there quickly.

The highlights in her hair resemble horns, much as the ones in Sawtooth’s hair resembled the teeth of a saw. ✨

Good morning™, school security !

Devil lady sure puts on an act. Is the officer buying it ?

She made her self memorable now. She might regret that later.

Yeah, not sure if this is part of her plan, or she didn’t count on getting fingered.

Am I reading Dick Tracy or Archie and friends?

So much for Plan A – Devil almost got hooked herself with that approach – time to roll out Plan B – whatever that is, or as soon as she comes up with it…

If the officer follows procedure, he’ll fill out an “field interview report” on this, noting that he “encouraged” a somewhat “suspicious” person from hanging around the school. Maybe it’ll get bumped up to the Narcotics Squad, or, Tracy’s team (since it involves Honeymoon’s school.) And, someone will take note of Devil. Nah, too easy.

Byeee !  The New Patty Duke.  Why not !?  Other comics and moving media have changed the race of the main character.

If ever I heard a more insincere statement!!!!!

Gee, Officer Krupke, what’s that on your shoulder?

Hey lady, leave or I’ll run you in for vagrancy and turning trix near a school.

You know the strip has gone off-track when most of the comments involve the Archies & Josie & the Pussycats.

Devilia nearly gets busted but still thinks she’s being crafty by lathering some sugar on the girls (Honeymoon and Crystal). But if that Resource Officer has at least half a brain. he’ll suspect that’s there is something fishy about Devilia’s actions and paper-thin cover story. I’d expect him to file a report on her for the record; and if she shows up there again, she might not skate so easily….
