Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 10, 2019

BINGO!

Good morning™, sports fans!

… and, Tracy starts to clue in to the Tacoma connection.

Quick Tracy! Put a tail on your daughter!!

Now he’s going to do some searches on this person. The coincidence just might not be.

Good morning™, red alerters !

Time to round up the crew, Dick. It’s huntin’ season !!!

Spidey sense. There’s the old Tracy.

I breathed a real sigh of relief seeing this today. For some reason this storyline felt really especially creepy to me. I don’t think I’ve had such a sense of real menace from a Tracy strip ever before.

The wheels in Tracy’s head are now in motion!

Nice guy? A wolf in sheep’s clothing!

People move every day—surely this is a bad feeling, not a clue

TRACY IS ON THE CASE!!!!!!!

If Tracy was the stereotypical cop dad, he’d be background this new reporter from Tacoma anyway, but since the Professor has seeming relocated to Tracy’s city, AND<,since Bonnie is a teacher..

Hopefully Tracy puts two and two together quickly.

Tracy’s suspicious… as he should be.

Alt Script: 1- TRANSISTOR RADIO: Welcome back to ‘Critters – Pests Or Delicious Delicacies’. Our guest today is a Miss Granny from… 2- TRANSISTOR RADIO: We return now to ‘The City And Its Problems’. Chief, violent crime is up 30% from this time last year. What do you propose… 3- CHIEF ON RADIO: It is? Why doesn’t anybody tell me these things. Are you sure? My neighborhood is nice. HEY! Here’s a solution! Everybody move to a nice neighborhood! Bing bang, problem solved. That kind of thinking is why I’m Chief I guess.

Shouldn’t Tracy be warning his daughter in an abundance of caution?

To the hat-poles!

Seriously???

Going out to dinner with someone and you don’t even know his name???

Bonnie, do you still hitchhike and invite strangers into your house???

Get on it, Tracy !!!!

Tacoma?That seems to make Pop suspicious.

Barnabas Tar told Wendy Wichel he had come from Tacoma the day before he threatened her. I’m surprised she didn’t make the connection.

cue the ominous music

The pieces are beginning to come together. It’s only a matter of time now. The thing is, will Tracy act quickly enough to save his daughter from a serial killer from Tacoma? (Need we really ask?)

Did a light bulb just go off above his head outside of the panel?
