Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 20, 2019

Good morning™, shocked readers!

For anyone who may not be familiar with the expression, “going commando” means not wearing underwear. That seems to be what she means.

No tan lines, I take it? ✨

Is it a lens adapter or a flasher? :)

Looks like Sally’s diversionary tactic is working… :)

Modesty Blaise used to use this technique she called “The Nailer” where she would distract the bad guys by rushing into the fight topless and shooting them in the confusion.

“Ye gods”? Is Vonda McIntyre writing this?

Seems she is probably totally nude under there. Most men would be distracted immediately. Could work.

Now you can arrest her for indecency

Now we know that Doc’s books aren’t the only “booby” trap in his team’s “arse”nal. ☉_☉

Any chance she meant she’s armed to the teeth like a commando as opposed to getting along by the SKIN of her teeth?

There’s a DT joke there that I’m not gonna use.

I wonder how that’s going to be written up in the report? Also does the wrist wizard auto record? ;)

I had a great pun joke here involving the name of our esteemed detective, but I’ll just shut up now.

A double barrel?

I guess there is no need for a STRIP search!!!

They’re so amazing, Tracy instinctively calls them deities.

I like Tracy’s expression last panel!

I guess we’ll need to let our imagination go wild…until tomorrow! :-D

My guess is… it’s not what you’re thinking.

FLASH! AH AHHHH—She’s a miracle…..

Good morning™, female flashers !

If Tess could see her Dicky boy now, he would be rarin’ to go !  I gather fake reporter lady has not gotten into the bag yet per her being interrupted yesterday before she could even begin to pull the zipper. In terms of catching her with the goods, Tracy is guilty of premature “investigation”.

GASP!

I guess Tracy can verify if shes natural ;)

and in case any of you dont “get” what i mean.. im sure Neil will enlighten us all

Maybe he needs to call in Liz for this one.

Why is she singing it?

Tracy “I was a commandER in the service so I can handle it!”

She’s facing the wrong way. How will the audience know exactly what she is talking about.

That’ll wake you up in the morning

Aww, and no frontal shot! Shoot! — err wait.

1- TRACY: I’m the stage manager. What role do you have in this play? 2- LOLA: Well, none really but… 3- …I’m dressed for the casting couch! Or undressed as you can see. TRACY: OMG! WE’RE NOT PERFORMING HAIR! And…what happened to your ‘curtains’? Not only do they not match the drapes, they don’t even exist! I’m a trained detective, I notice these things. Are you receiving site-specific chemo? Somebody help me here. I feel funny…

Still, Notta Chin-Chillar was shown in sexier situations during the Piggy Butcher story by Gould.

Dick’s too savvy to fall for that!

She’s not singing that last line…

Thanks again Neil for explaining the obvious. Is this sweeps week in the comics world? All stops pulled out. Dicko is what, about 95? Hope he doesn’t have a heart attack. Appearing tomorrow, the late, great Blaze Starr

okay, that was not expected

I was thinking that "she " was a “he” still with full male parts…

Women and girls usually don’t do “commando”…

Cue " Dude Looks Like a Lady" by Aerosmith… ;-D

Shades of Mizz Mizzou…

I was told that Dick Tracy is a great comic strip. I agree now.

They’re real and they’re spectacular.

Tracy had a dose of performance enhancer :)

And it seems like everyone also had it what with the number of posts today. :)

Had to come back.

Every time I see that “Ye gods” comment all I can think of is his NEXT statement being “SIX BREASTS!”

Well, that was unexpected! Mike caught us all unawares, I think. Too bad “family strip/PC” rules prevented Joe from doing what we know from his other work (e.g., for DC) he could!

Even street-wise veteran cop Tracy is taken aback by Sally’s bold nude move; but it is like Modesty Blaise’s Nailer in that it only works for that brief moment of surprise. I’m sure Tracy will recover his composure quickly enough to take Sally-“Kassie” into custody….

To Gent’s Blaise query. Left a link a-way up there.

… and for everybody else SHE’S NAKED!

Reminds me of a few months ago when Tracy appeared to be flashing us.

Holy Sheep Dip!
