Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 22, 2019

Well, it looks like after weeks and weeks of endless pool talk and toothbrush buying it’s time for the usual rushed ending.

By the way, the windows/doors on the car the Asp is driving make absolutely no sense. Artistic liberty I suppose.

I do like Punjab’s line, “…connecting to the spirit realm is difficult at high speeds.”

Good morning™, disenchanted bosses !

Punjab needs to upgrade to 5G.

B.B. Eyes is no dummy…..he’s right not to like that “last part”.

Punjab’s line is (unintentionally?) hilarious

Good morning™, readers of converging plots!

Mr. Wink is on his way.

Dick Tracy is on his way.

The Asp and Punjab are on their way.

Eventually, all the threads will tie together.

I fell asleep. I’m way overtired, but I haven’t forgotten the Asp. It’s a work in progress, but I do promise to report on it soon. It needs pictures and I was having trouble transferring them to my cell phone today. Also, I need to assemble some images.

So they got the GPS signal of a random sedan? Nice trick!

BB Eyes looks like a masked bandit in the first panel.

Lets all meet in the middle of….???

“Contacting the Spirit Realm is difficult at high speeds.” A piece of wisdom I shall have to remember for future use.

“You kidnapped WHOSE daughter? You buncha dummies!”

I’m just imagining he might connect to the spirit realm in a rather more perminant manner if there’s a truck coming while he trances out

1- DR STACHE: Ground rules BB. If we’re to get any good from these psychiatric sessions you’ll need to give up your phone and lie on the couch. BB: Whatever. I ain’t discussing my mother though! 2- TRACY: This is Tracy. I’m 10-49 to Smokey’s Bar where I’ll soon be 10-51 on Gin Rickeys. 3- PREACHER: Why is a famous, much beloved mega-church, televangelist playing chauffeur to a 3rd world heathen??? PUNJAB: Step on it Sahib. The intoxicating aroma of curry is getting stronger! After we dine you meet my sister. PREACHER: Oh. Yeah!

The race against time begins,who get’s there first?

Punjab needs to have his tongue out like Lassie. OMG and I was so excited about that Asp story. Get some rest Neil

Clearly the car was designed by M.C. Escher.

Neil said a few days ago…

“and soon after the Daily News dropped it, Irwin Hasan decided it was time to end it.”

Did Irwin do an end-of-series story ?

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: If you were Diet Smith, what new gadget would you invent for Tracy and the MCU?

As I read the comic, I had a hilarious vision of a " Three Stooges" type of situation where Tracy, Sam, Asp, and Punjab, get in each other’s way while rescuing Annie nd Gypsy and capturing BB Eyes and Co.

BB eyes had better pray Tracy get’s there first,,, The ASP and Punjab will not leave enough behind to Identify.

This must be one of the few times that the eight-foot tall Indian mystic and dispenser of rough justice has been at loss due to technology. It also occurs to me that the need for the big limousine is not so much to cater to Daddy’s needs—for all his wealth and sometimes fancy dress (diamond stickpin used to be a trademark accessory) Daddy’s day-to-day needs are usually rather simple and easily met—as it is to accommodate the giant Punjab. Asp is speeding—as he should under the circumstances. If he and friend Punjab get to Muscle (whom we now know as Mr. Wink) first, there will be no need for Tracy to hurry! B-B Eyes’ veiled comment in panel 1 (I refer to the mask-like shadow across his eyes) may turn out to be prophetic. The Asp and Punjab operate not under the law but rather alongside it, with no constraints on their ways and means….
