Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 19, 2020

Good morning™, buckle polishers!

Caught smoking again! Three strikes and he’s out?

(The blood stain is black today. It would have taken extra effort to make it red. They usually only colour the white areas.)

The bullet wound is a minor inconvenience for Shaky compared with not being able to smoke in the house – which is really killing him…

If this keeps up, Shaky is going to turn himself in just so he can smoke in prison.

This is like the Ransom of Red Chief but they never wanted to kidnap her in the first place.

Should you take an aspirin for a bullet hole?

Good morning™, injured, agitated, frustrated smokers !

I suppose that is the old blood from the “incident” and the bandage, if applied properly, is stanching further flow but then seep through will occur in time. Tension is running high. I am glad the girls are bonding so nicely.

So a guy shot at comes in there and she hasn’t called the cops yet? I mean, gee, it should be completely normal around that place, people getting shot at everyday or something. Big deal, amiright?

“Shout! Shout! Let it all out! Smoking’s a thing I can do without. Come on. I’m talking to you.”

I’m waiting for Crystal to whip out her trusty slingshot and shoot the cigarette out of Shaky’s mouth.

Shaky and I both agree that Crystal is a very annoying chick!

LOL!

Time for them to lam out of there!!!

Edison kept close watch on Crystal playing polish pal. Shake-and-Smoke cares more about his cancer sticks than a safe house. He can have some aspirin, but not an ashtray. Crystal is in charge and Shaky can deal with it or leave the way he entered.

Asprin is a blood thinner, a person with a bleeding wound should avoid it as it inhibits coagulation stopping bleeding. Seriously this guy deserves to get caught.

Shakey’s no rocket scientist – he could have gone out back to smoke. But then, he also thought his revenge scheme was brilliant. He and Edison should be halfway to Ohio by now.

Seriously? We’ve wasted HOW MANY days with this ridiculous scene already?

I’m just gonna go back a couple days and draw some train tracks across the front yard of this “safehouse” so that the SWEATBOX EXPRESS can put us ALL out of our misery

Kick him out of the hse.

Riffin Without A Script takes a break as today’s filler-script suggested nothing new to post. We here at Riffin’ are self-quarantining until Joe and Mike provide us with some thought provoking material.

Crystal draws the line when Shaky tries to sell her Wrigley Field.

Mr.Wobbly would ask if breathing is allowed,but he’s aFRAID of the ANSWER.

All right, we get the joke. Crystal is an irritating person and doesn’t like smoking. Enough of this. It is just overkill. Time to move on.

I was at the petting zoo with my grandkids and, as I was petting a pony, I happened to cough. Everybody cleared out around me and someone asked if I was sick.

I replied, “Nope, I was just feeling a little horse.”

Sorry, I can’t help it. It is a symptom of the Cornyvirus.

In today’s papers,The Associated Press is running a p icture of NBA Basketball Commissioner ADAM SILVER.

Look at that picture and then try to convince me that Mr.Bribery doesn’t have a twin brother.

Looks like Dick Tracy has self quarantined. How else can one explain why he hasn’t appeared in his titular strip for almost 2 weeks. Move this snail along please. And maybe explain why Shaky is bleeding but has no hole in his coat

Crystal lays down the law of the house! Get ’em, Kool-Aid hair… I was channeling Honeymoon there…

The nicotine might give him more tremors.

Crystal may be on to Shakey and Edison already could she be playing ransom of red chief to get rid of her unwanted guests?

If Crystal is in a public place or another home visiting, she is very annoying. If there is someone in her home breaking basic social rules like no smoking w/o permission, then her annoyance is a reflection on the behavior of the guests. I like her.

Crystal can be as irritating as Peanut Butter was.

Stop with the ciggies or get outta dis house, Shaky. Sheesh! Some home invaders got no couth at all. Find your own darn aspirin and bleed out, fool! I don’t pity the fool!
