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

I saw Mike Curtis and Joe Staton yesterday and they were LOL and ROFL

It’s you that has run out of luck, you fly magnet (or should that be Maggot?)

Good morning™, dirty-minded readers!

She fooled most of us. It wasn’t what was implied, although I think someone yesterday guessed right about the swimsuit or got very close.

Looking back over her appearances, we rarely got any glimpse of her clothes other than swimsuit straps from the back and that one day she was putting a coat on. The first teaser strip was the only time we’ve seen her in a regular dress or top. The one time we saw her swimsuit top from the front, it didn’t seem to be a camo one, exactly, but apparently she does prefer the camouflage style.

Anyway, she was obviously going for the drugs, so Tracy has her on that, but look who’s sneaking in the back while he’s occupied.

A few people did predict this yesterday. :-D

In real life, a good lawyer has something to work with as the only thing “proven” was she tried to retrieve a classic old container for somebody…..she can deny knowing what was inside, and the fact it was left there unattended for so long, as well as in the possession of others, means anyone could have hidden something in it.

Hmmmm…..Sam gonna take out the shooter now?

NOT FAIR!!!!!!

Maybe Sam will gun down Doc, but my money’s still on Doc taking out Sally first by accident while he’s trying to give Tracy lead poisoning.

I thought she might have been armed to the teeth, but instead I find this disarming.

This is so disappointing!

The jokes on us, good one..

Sally has a nice figure, as a distraction, but the thermos was too obvious! !

Li’l Doc lurking in the background, watch out Tracy!

May be a shot in the dark next!!! Look out Tracy!!!

Doc is neither lurking nor sneaking… he is friggin ANNOUNCING he is there brandishing a gun and threatening tracy while there is absolutely ZERO evidence tying him to the cocaine.

Yet another example of lame writing and killing a potentially good story by wasting time with at least 3 days of meaningless talk between kandilame and Sally AND zero reasoning for doc’s ridiculous grandstanding

I can feel the SWEATBOX EXPRESS rolling down the tracks!

The colorist missed their chance to give Sally the tan she should have after all that time under the sun lamp. (Or was it a heat lamp since she only wears a bathing suit?)

So what was the “ye gods” for?

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, as to what key she pleads “not guilty” in…

We’ve been trolled!

WHAT? No a military uniform with a complete set of weapons and first aid? I’m so disappointed! This is not the commando I was thinking of.

Good morning™, Oops, that was dum-dum-dum-dum, Readers!

See what I mean? I told there was going to be bumbling incompetence by the crooks and to quote the title of the once popular TV game show, Now You See It!

From yesterday…

@HarryCK

I meant some more lethal type of “bombs”

And I know what I meant ! ;-)

You’re welcome, Gent !

Good morning™, foiled flashers !

Sam or somebody better be there but if not Tracy can always use Sally as a shield.

1- LOLA: There. I’ve put something on as you demanded ya prude. TRACY: Whew. That’s better. I’m going to have nightmares for weeks… 2- …Anyway, you’re under arrest for assaulting a police officer. LOLA: I never touched you! TRACY: You assaulted my eyes. 3- BUGS: I saw everything officer! I’m a trained psychiatrist/dentist and I can help you through this trauma. LOLA: I’ll lose this swimsuit and make bail with one flash. That’s how I’ll beat this bogus rap too. TRACY: Don’t count on it. Judge Rock H. Liberace has never been swayed by a pretty face. Hmmm. Not a girl’s anyway…

(giggles) Oh this is much better than I anticipated. Lovely young lady, but a bit of a bubblehead. You don’t mess with the Tracy!

To quote the lady in Naked Gun asking Det. Frank Drebin “Is this a bust.”?

I admit that I didn’t see that happening since “going commando” means not wearing underwear, in particular, underpants…And Tracy’s reaction to the “unveiling” led me in that direction…

Also, in these “gender fluid” times, she could have been a transgender male still with his “junk”… ( Dude Looks Like A Lady )…

And I’m glad that the strip remains “family friendly”… ;-)

" Doc " doesn’t realize the irony of whose “luck is running out”… He doesn’t know that Tracy is armed and aware of his presence and that Sam is coming…

I wonder if “Mitchell” will appear and distract “Doc” ?After all, " Doc " wants to kill him…

Will Sally get shot ? Possibly, given that " Doc " doesn’t look like a skilled shooter…

Came for what? Hiding in a bougainvillea?

I have the feeling this isn’t the first time Sally’s wore handcuffs.

Gotta wonder about the efficacy of purple camouflage. In what environment would the wearer blend in? Several years ago, I saw an ad from a camo manufacturer proudly headlined, “Our camo gets you noticed!” Which is the exact opposite of how camo is supposed to work.

With all those various decorative straps on that swimsuit (belly, thighs. etc.), Sally must have some odd tan lines (not that anyone other than herself necessarily gets to see them—I don’t think she’s that “close” to Little Doc). Is she really so bubble-brained that she thought this would distract Chief Detective Tracy? Panel 2 shows he is not.

Meanwhile, (panel 3) there’s Little Doc, at some Exit doorway (back exit of the Patterson? The wooden porch and stairway leading down behind the silhouetted gunman are problematic). We’ve seen him once gun down Tracy, who was saved by his bullet-resistant vest, and he wants another shot. I have a feeling that this time he will be even less fortunate than the first time….

JLess last spoke at Monty 17 days ago, so looks like he has not been disbarred.

“Just as I thought,” Richard? What did you thought?“Hmm. She’s here to be a distraction.”Or, “Hmm. Trenchcoat. She’s probably wearing an improbably camouflaged bikini under that.”

Lay down, Sally. Arrested in my arms. Don’t you think you want a cop to talk to?

Hubba Hubba! Baby where have you been all my life? I love my wife but oh you kid!
