Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 20, 2020

Good morning™, everybody!

Needless to say, Shaky is not a well-behaved houseguest! Edison, on the other hand, is not bad company.

Missing my friend Morrow Cummings on this the 2nd anniversary of his unexpected departure from Tracyville. He would have found a classic way to express his horror at this silly story!

LOL!

A quick look at his bio gave me a chuckle.

Retired. Teaches Ethics seminar to politicians. Rooms with SDM under the bridge. Favorite comic strip – Marty & Spud. Favorite Oscar-winning film actor – John Holmes.

Good morning™, impatient itinerant snoopers !

This guy is itching to get a buckle in the back ala Ninja throwing stars style.

Wonder if Crystal is going to get scared and tell him her dad was Bribery?

at this point shaky has passed beyond uncommon courtesy and she should be asking them to leave. meaning his plan to lie low is an abject failure. Seriously this ding dong is insultingly stupid.

Wonder how Tess is doing…

It’s funny, Edison is supposed to be keeping Crystal busy but she catches every move he makes. Eagle-eye Crystal strikes again. :D

Wonder if or when her dad comes home

Is Crystal stalling, waiting for someone to come to her house?

I wonder how Tess is doing.

“I thought that since I was home…” Once again, its meaning can be taken differently today than when it was written several weeks ago.

Assuming they DO keep liquor.This is a family home,not a saloon.Be with us on Sunday,when Shaky 2’s bad luck continues.The next house he tries is where Peanutbutter lives.

From HARPO SPEAKS——memoir of comedian Harpo Marx.

“The most expensive show I ever did was a benefit for the Palm Springs,Calif.police Department.After the show I found 32 of my knives missing.The cops had stolen them,for souvenirs.

Rubbin’ Without A Script

1- Rub

2- Go out and get more polish

3- Ok

Alas,Governor of New York State has ordered a further work shutdown.And since I communicate solely from my work computer,I may be “off the air” for awhile.Phooey.And rember—-crime doesn’t pay because it can’t pay.It has the world against it.Remember that,boys.(1937).

Tess who???

Shaky kind of sucks at this “low profile” thing, doesn’t he?

Chicago, where I live, is now all locked down because of the Cornyvirus. I ran out of toilet paper and the store had none, so I was reduced to wiping my bum with lettuce leaves. Sure it’s a problem but I fear that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

Edison and Crystal are a shining [get it?] example of How to Get Along. Shaky, however, who is but a thug of little brain, lets pain drive him into yet another gaucherie. This wannabe is not deserving of the designation Shaky Mk.2. He is a failure.

Either he or Crystal has got to go, to resolve this untenable situation. It’s Crystal’s (and Lafayette’s) house, so Shaky is Odd Man Out, unless he tries to force the issue, which would not be smart. Crystal would leave him in a big heap more of pain….
