Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 30, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

With Lee wearing her slippers to the office, at least that leaves no doubt as to whose feet we saw yesterday. Tracy apparently reads the newspaper too, although I think I’ve seen him reading online news before.

Blaze has Lee’s legs all twisted out of shape! LOL!

Seriously, terribly drawn in panel 3.

Snap out of it Shelley, you’re better than that and you’re also all we’ve got to keep us going!

I actually did that one time near the end of my time in the work force… I got up, did all my morning rituals to get ready to head on out the door for work… I left the house and walked down about half of the block where I lived and noticed that my shoes weren’t feeling secured and that’s when I looked down and said “offs” and saw I still had my slippers on… fortunately, it was about 5 in the morning and no one was about… a quick run back to the house to put on my sneakers and I was back on the way to the daily grind… LOL…

Yep, when one forgets to take off their slippers before going to work, they’ve been hit with the love bug.

Good morning™, confused footwear !

What will Blaze have on her feet when she goes out ?  Lee’s legs look funny. I hope she doesn’t run with those.

She must have been in a hurry!

Hopefully there is not a gun in her purse that could go off and have a beaver shot in the last panel !!!

P3 reminds me of ARCHIE.

Another hard hitting crime story.

At least they match her sweater.

hey, maybe she NEEDS her fuzzy slippers, for ummm…Undercover work—yeah that’s it!

I like Lee’s legs sketched as they are. Pleger’s drawings of women are graceful, vivid and sexy.

Ooops! Yeah, been there done that, forgot to change my sleeping shirt to my work shirt, ADHD HIghway to…ooo look, a squirrel! — https://www.zazzle.com/acdc_adhd_highway_to_hey_look_a_squirrel_tee_mn_p-235000082557585819

She’s in love ♡♡♡.

Perhaps she could limp and pretend she has an injured foot…

she shuffled all the way to work and didn’t notice?

It’s observations like that which make Tracy such a great detective.

What a snooze fest. You know it’s bad when the only thing to discus is the artwork. Understandable though because there is no story.

well, they do look very comfortable

But at least they’re a nice shade of purple,

Fun. But somewhat improbable. Lee has a robe, and,, slippers, plus a change of clothes at Blaze’s, but puts her slippers back on after putting on her slacks? Or, maybe she was distracted at the time she went to put on shoes.

D.T.’s expression in P2 is cracking me up! ha ha…ha Ha HA!!

Well it is casual Friday.

1-LEE: Anybody else “score” last night?

2-DT: Score? Who are you – Brittney Griner, the basketball star? HAR HAR HAR!

LEE: You need to get out in the sun more. You look – dead. Like that joke. DT: Ha-rumpf…

3-…The last time I saw hooves like that, I was at a cattle ranch. Heffa!

LIZ: MOOOOOO!

Hey, Lee, at least they match your sweater!

I didn’t have the time to read comments the last few days—-busy work load. But, I sure miss the days of criminals such as Flattop and other without all the social engineering….guess I’m just an old fuddy duddy.

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“We thank the United States Guano Company for their co-operation”

EDGE TO ETERNITY—1959—closing credits

Okay,headquarters has had its laff for the day.Which fortunately cannot be traced back to its source.

I still say Dekko gave the painting too modern a title.Medicinewas barely off t he ground in Da Vinci’s time.

During the Civil War if you got shot in the leg they took a bone saw and cut the leg off right there on the battlefield.

Nothing gets past you, Detective Tracy!

Oh, this is incredible Lee dresses up for work and she arrives wearing her house shoes. They must be comfortable. I am puzzled as to why she ended up with them. Winter in Tracy land, surely she put on stockings.

Does Lee use public transportation, her own car or uber to get to work? The oversight in footwear sticks out like a sore thumb.

My oh my, Dick has mellowed. Back in the ‘70s, he’d have called her a [darned] dirty hippie and shot her.

Well,another 3-day holiday for me.See you Tuesday January 3rd.

Good luck to Blaze getting used to a cop’sschedule.It took Tess Trueheart 18 years.

Now, stop giggling, Lizz! Any one can make a little mistake in the haze of early morning, especially if not yet sufficiently coffeed up!

A little levity is allowed, Tracy. Right? (But I do wonder how she got her snug-fitting pants on without noticing her fuzzy slippers….)
