Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 21, 2019

Good morning™, kidnappees!

So, now we know that he did get both of them. What next? Nice car! I see that Gypsy does have her name on her uniform but only her first name.

The research into the Asp’s origin and clothing continues. I’m hoping to make a preliminary report tomorrow. His tie is very interesting.

Annie’s been in this type of situation before. ✨

Good morning™, angry and frightened captives !

If I could see better I’d swear the girls arms are loose and they could just pull and rip at him from behind.

If Sandy had been there maybe things would have been different. Or Sandy would have been shot.

Why have I’ve gotten the feeling throughout this story arc that Gypsy killed Trixie?

Yeah, let the kid out. Otherwise, you’re going to have Asp and Punjab after you, and you do NOT want that. Those two will put a hurtin’ on you.

SAM’S SCHOOL FOR SUPERVILLIANS – Bayonne, NJ – Lesson #143: “Do Your &@#%! Homework” We frequently get questioned by snootier would-be antagonists (interested more in status than anything else) why we are located in Bayonne and not some bigger, grittier city – like Tracytown? The scenario depicted above offers some answers. Despite the plethora of “bad guys” who have taken on the local authorities in the past, we regard Tracytown as a kind of Class-A “farm club” for our academy, none of whose members have actually made it to our ranks. Why, you ask? Because they keep making the same mistakes… over and over again. Take today’s case study. Had B-B Eyes done his homework, he surely would have told his accomplice to avoid taking the kid – at all costs. Not only is she an extra person to have to deal with that can possibly offer identification, but she also has serious connections that can mess up the plans of even some of our star alumni. Further proof? Just ask Walter (“Blowtop”) Jones, the last surviving member of the Jones Family.

Pretty sure when Punjab and the Asp catch up with this guy, he’s going to be toast.

1- GYPSY TRAMPSNTHIEVES: You have a very nice car for an Uber driver. And the hat is a nice touch. 2- FREDDIE: Thank you. I strive to maintain my 5 star rating which I hope you will feel is warranted after this ride. 3- GYPSY TRAMPSNTHIEVES: That would’ve been more likely if we had really asked for an Uber. Where are you taking us? And why did we get in your car just because you said “Your Uber is here”?

Great story so far!

You would think someone makes money off Annie being in trouble.

When we saw Gypsy 10 minutes ago (Tracy time) she didn’t have her name tag on. Guess the driver asked her to put it on!

I can understand why B-B Eyes wants Gypsy but why abduct Annie? I am not even sure B-B Eyes is aware that Annie is staying in the hotel. What would be his advantage in kidnapping Annie? It is Gypsy and Trixie who have evidence against him not Annie or even Warbucks. B-B is not acting on the advice of his lawyer in kidnapping a kid. Obviously, old Handlebar Moustache would be staying clear of Warbucks and Annie after the beating Warbucks gave him.

They just got in the car with this guy?

Gypsy is pleading for Annie’s safety but not her own. Does she realize that she is culpable in something? Why is she not more fearful for herself? Annie, also, does not look nervous or afraid.

Tom Selleck is gone bad? Oh the humanity. BTW, waiting on pins and needles for Neil’s Asp origin story. Hope it’s better than this snail

The look on Annie’s face is saying, “( sigh ) Again?”

The time-warping continues. Annie is dressed for the sixties (miniskirt). Young-looking Gypsy witnessed a murder more than twenty years ago, in the thirties. The Sunday Tribune is stuck in the late fifties/early sixties (Dondi is running; price is two bucks). And Muscle is driving a late-model (21st century) sedan. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff!

If Muscle were really smart, he’d dump both the ladies and leadfoot it out of Tracyville before the Asp and Punjab end his career in crime and his miserable life….

gypsy’s a heroine in my book
