Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 06, 2020

Dick & Tess should both meet Ms Dyer. Eliminate the chance for any hanky panky!

Good morning™, celebrity worshippers!

The mayor really pushes Tracy around!

Nice the last panel with the tie highlighted!

“Now, you and I know this isn’t at all what it appears, and is all part of some silly plot. Try not to shoot the Mayor.”

Politicians like to kiss a lot of………..!!!

Since Pat was Tracy’s partner before he became Chief, shouldn’t they be informal behind closed doors?

Can’t wait to see.

“Breathless” blew into town, eh? Clever…

1-DT: Gotta sec Chief?

2-CHIEF: Dag Tracy! Have some respect for your position. You look like something the cat barfed up! Cinch up that tie and comb your hair. Now. Whadaya want?

3-DT: Geez, I forget now. Grouch. Ya know, I work for you 365 days a year, never taking a day off, risking my life to gunshot and alligators and solving some of TracyTown’s most elaborate crimes! But when I come in to work looking a little haggard from years of tireless effort, all you can do is complain about my appearance! I…sniff…deserve…sniff…some respect!

CHIEF: Geez. We’re not married Tracy.

DT: NOT ANYMORE WE’RE NOT! CHIEF: Ummm, take the day off Tracy…

She’s dying to see him.

I don’t know… is it possible that she might actually have some police / detective business to discuss? I’m trying to speculate how the dots so far might connect.

A few days ago I clicked on Alley Oop. I hadn’t been following it lately. Could someone tell me why there are no comments for the strip?

If, as Tracy says, the mayor wants a publicity stunt, then when Fortuna waltzes in to the police station, the mayor’s photographers and press people should be with her.

Maybe Tracy can tell if Fortuna Dyer is a suicide blond.

That is why you tell the mayor no publicity stunts.

Deal with it, Tracy. Be polite but not fawning. Meet, greet, and defeat: give her your most charming brush-off….
