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

That about covers it. ✨

Someone called “Ye gods”.

Good morning™, snappers with the big yappers !

And Tracy with out free hands with which to clamp those jaws shut. A little help here……. Saaaaaam !!! :-O

Good morning™, all!

There’s that “Ye gods!” you were waiting for.

The fact that I’m rooting for Wally gator to finish the job make me feel a little dirty!

Just a little!

LOL!

Gator looks friendly, actually…..maybe he was someone’s pet. And if it is used to eating processed, butchered food then it will be looking to be fed more steak, not eat the feeders…..alligators are pretty mellow fellows….Of more interest is…..with Zelda overseas, WHAT could be so important that Splitface would want to miss THIS?

Like everyone says when they see a cliffhanger, “How’s he going to get out of this one?!”

Alligators hiss?

He’s just telling Tracy what he wants for Christmas!!!

It is about time for Tarzan to swing down and fight the gator. A surprise guest star for this story!

Four to the gator fed, And the yellow one said, “Roll over! Roll Over!” So they all rolled over and another days strip passed…

’Tis the god Sobek, and he shall protect Tracy.

Ah shucks, she just wants someone to scratch her cute little forehead.

Lorenzo made fast work of that appetizer.

James West would have had no problem. There was always some device up his sleeve or pant leg for any such occasion.

How did we know Tracy would say that?

Gee grandma, what a big mouth you have. Need a breath mint (fans the air)

Yes, Tracy, one of those “Gods” you are always exclaiming about has taken the form of an alligator LOL j/k!!!

“Sam! Wake up! We have a 418!”

“We’re helpless next to a crocodile?”

“No, that’s a 416. I said 418!”

If he can get his hands and feet free somehow, I hope Tracy remembers what he learned about alligators from one of his favorite reality shows. It definitely will come in handy in this situation.

I’m Thinkin’ Tess is gonna get an alligator bag and some shoes for Xmas. Just don’t let PETA know. Good art.

At Gatorland in Florida, they let you feed the gators. You go inside the fence, and the gators come right up. The guide stands there with a pole, and places it at the gator’s jumping range. He moves it as the gators move. You stand behind the pole and toss them raw chicken. You can zipline over the swamps full of gators too.

*1-*What’s the noise an alligator purse makes when it’s shut? SNAP!!!

*2-*HISSSSSSS!! BOOOOOO! That joke stinks!

3-DT: YE GODS! I’m having a nightmare where an alligator is performing as both the standup comedian and as the audience!!! Oh well. I guess that makes me the heckler. LASSIE GETS BIGGER LAUGHS THAN YOU JUST BY COMING OUT IN DRAG!

Editor’s Note: Lassie was played by a male dog. See, jokes CAN be funny even if you feel the need to explain them. Right? No? Damn…

Oh! My Cat!!!!

Alligator pear . . . crocogator pear . . . that’s why he’s so MEAN!

He’s been at it since 1931, has a grandchild, and after all this time he has never said, “I’m getting too old for this.”

I’m certain that Tracy and his associates didn’t anticipate being confronted by luggage with an attitude.

Tracy only says “Ye Gods!” because Chester Gould, and now Joe & Mike won’t let him say “Oh @#$%!”

Great Cesar Ghost !!!

Now, that’s a Wake-up Call! And Tracy utters his favorite expletive. Meanwhile, Lorenzo is getting close enough that one could smell his nasty alligator-breath, not to mention hear him hiss.

We may be seeing the need for a future bionic Tracy….

—Unless something/someone saves the day!
