Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 05, 2023

Tracy’s on-the-sly inside man at Wendy’s workplace…

he’s got Annie-verse eyes…

Good morning™, all!

It’s good to see Tracy using modern computers to search and not only paper newspapers. If that guy is with Wendy, how does he come by any inside information?

Hopefully, just a few more months left in this story.

Eric’s story has turned me into a pacifist! “No more action!!”

Good morning™, Wendy Workarounds !

Not good to go behind the boss’s back there fella. Dick will have to pull ropes with the mayor to get you your job back. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT !  LOL !

Something about panel two reminds me of Firestrike! From what I’ve heard, not seen! LOL!

Wendy hates cops???

A whodunit minus mystery and suspense is boring indeeds. A whodunit with one obvious suspect and no twists or surprises is as good as only one item in menu and you is forced to eats it for weeks and months. And a whodunit with too many plot holes like eating half baked foods. And great artwork but terrible writing like a well presented good looking food but with no aroma and taste terrible. Just a few thoughts me is has that is all. But dangnabbit even thinking is makes me hungry.

Wait! Who’s Wendy?

I nailed this case from day one. Yes, I’m the man.

Wendy has probably been off her “A” game since Ms. Libris verbally read her the riot act. Better the camera man, Wendy’s pride got in the way. Tracy is the last person she wants to let know what happened.

Let me guess . Olympic Fencing ?

Why would it be necessary to research this? Are there so many Olympic stars from Tracyville that they’re common enough to forget?

So, will the friend Tracy needs to consult be Owen Desmond again? And will the apprehensive attorney have the guts to help him railroad Madame X?

Most Tracy villains are ugly on the outside. Interesting to have one who’s ugliness is all inside.

He’s got it. Her olympic sport was- JAVLIN

My guess is that the cameraman is talking to Lizz – she hasn’t had as much screen time as the other three MCU leads.

My issue is this… If Libris was indeed using a saber as her weapon, the puncture wound would have been inverted rather than what they are depicting in the X-rays… The spine would have been on the top, and the blade/edge would have been on the bottom. (like an arrow pointing down, not up…)

I wouldn’t point this out from the average commenter, and I’m certainly not perfect, but we should expect writers to be better at grammar. The comma after ‘ANGRY’ is incorrect.

So, did anyone ELSE get that the case holds Herve Villachse (yea, SIC), who shoots her victims with a toothpick gun?

The cross-section of an foil vs epee vs saber points to a saber as the most likely weapon

1-DT: I’ll warm up the Lil’ Detective with some hot pictures of Libris in her gymnastics unitard. Then I MIGHT be able to service Tess…

2- WHAT THE… SHE’S NOT A GYMNAST?!?!

3- MEANWHILE Yeah, extra cheese and sausage – biggest you got. And put me down for a C-Note on the Tracyville Tigers this Sunday. Whadaya mean? You know I’m good for it!

…..just go to “Wendy’s”? It should fill yer hollow leg and then some………

MOVIE QUOTE—

“Don’t think I’m afraid of you! I run a house with 50 crazy *b*tches!”

Carrie Fisher to serial killer—SORORITY ROW—2009

Wendy reported the OTHER serial killer—-the sportswriter with a “thing” for schoolteachers.

She’s apparently trying to write this one off as female jealousy.But her cameraman is taking the safe approach.

If the crazy b-it-ch threatened Wendy, she shoud have called the police herself. Of course I never credited Wendy for having much common sense.

Moody Blues and Wings guitarist Denny Laine died today. Very sad news. He was an important part of my musical journey.

Tracy has just discovered that Libris was an Olympic Alternate for the curling team. And she was so devilishly misleading! Instead of crudely bashing each victim over the head with a 40-pound curling stone, she cleverly poked each one in the chest with its handle. Now, that’s deft work!

Also misleading was the way she managed to squeezed a curling stone into a skinny carrying case. But, mind you: “C” is for curling.

So who is Tracy’s friend? Perhaps someone from his college fencing days?

Wrrrrh, CLICK! One can hear the gears meshing in Tracy’s mind as he makes the connection, finally! Libris is to Olympics as épée is to murders. —But what friend does Tracy need to check with? His old fencing trainer/coach?

Meanwhile, Wendy Wichel’s cameraman (“Oddjob”) is phoning it in, to the cops, though which copper in particular is not yet evident. And the big question is, what exactly is he reporting? What he (maybe) heard Xaviera say to Wendy that rattled her?

For firebuns next time he comes over to pester the Goats.

Get a loada this baby !  She’ll get you Moo-oo-oov-in on up.
