Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 22, 2021

Gosh, Lizz could blind a person with those natural green eyes of hers!

It’s amazing how Patty Cake keeps her glasses from falling off her face!

Good morning™, everyone!

Patty Cure was a publicist for pro wrestler Thunderchild. She previously appeared in the strip from 2012/02/05 to 2012/03/10. https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2012/02/05

She tried to improve Thunderchild’s reputation, since he was a “bad guy” wrestler, by raising money for charity but the money was being diverted without her knowledge.

Dick’s looking like he could use some Rogaine for Christmas!

Good morning™, tub thumpers and mat rumblers!

Didn’t someone mention Patty Cure within the past few days? Does this mean that Thunderchild is the new Ace? If so, will Jerry Lawler be called back in to ride shotgun on the posse?

And to the disappointment of many, Lizz looks great but is “playing good cop.”

Good morning™, inquisitors !

Blue shirt in P. 1. looks like a formidable and imposing type. Thunderchild beware.

WOW…she looks like Wendy Wichel’s sister….wonder if there’s a tie-in that will put that Tracy-hater Wendy on ice for a bit?

Molly Mayne called. She wants her glasses back.

I’ve been reading past strips at a rate of one week per day. I am now exactly three years behind, reading the beginning of the Haf ‘n’ Haf story. (Don’t tell me how it ends, please.) It takes about 7 1/2 weeks to read a year. It’s fun, mostly, but the Polar Vortex story wasn’t one of Mike’s best. Vortex shouldn’t be brought back. Ah, well, they can’t all be home runs. :-)

Patty Cure? Does she have a brother named Manny?

Art is amazing lately!

not to be confused with her cousin Pedi

“Cautions”, Liz? Last I heard the term for the Miranda warning was “rights.” As in “do you understand each of the rights I’ve explained to you.”

1-DOLL: Blink twice if there’s a zombie cop behind me!

ZOMBIE COP: HEY! I’m not a zombie. I’m just standing at attention because I’m hearing The Star Spangled Banner in my head right now…and every other minute of the day…

2-DOLL: Oh. That’s a relief…kinda. Now, miss – would you like to fix your hair and makeup in the giant mirror behind me that is in no way a two-way mirror?

3-PATTY CAKES: Why botha, dahling. I’m purr-fect! You on the other hand…

DOLL: What’s that supposed to mean???

PATTY CAKES: Well, lets get the tape started so you can refer back to it as needed, shall we? First off – the color of that shirt is absolutely horrifying!

DOLL: But yours is the…

PATTY: Please, don’t interrupt, dahling.

ZOMBIE COP: ♫ ♪ AND THE HOMMMMME OF THEEEE BRAVVVVVEEEE!

DT: Oh…my…head…

She looks like Pam Grier

Batman and Tracy have it easy. Just round up the people with puns for names or names describing their physical features and you have the criminals. It wouldn’t hurt either to take people that have first and last names with the same first letter.

Patty Cure???

Patty Cure, after all these years, eh? I wonder if she’ll be hosting any toenail painting parties for those Honeymoon and Crystal all-nighters?

" Patty Cure? Well it looks like officer Omicron shut you down! "

Patty Cure…she’ll clip your toenails then stab you with an emory board!

what’s she cure?

Where’s the uniform’s badge?

With a name like Paddy Cure, you can be sure that something is afoot. #BadPunNoCookie

Reviving the character, Patty Cure! Does this mean we will see 300-pound Thunderchild again? And, if so, is he now heel or face?

Why is Patty being interrogated? Was she “with” the Apparatus?

They are probably wrong, but authorities have suggested “skimpy art” like this is a sign of flagging inspiration translated into “meager creativity;” specifically, minimum backgrounds and panel filling heads."

Is that… Sprocket Nitrate???

Is Patty Cure part of Ace of Spades organization? Cautions another term for Miranda rights?
