Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 30, 2024

“Just like me!”

Rikki warning Fata off Tracy… possible friction between the two?…

Is Baxter Fata in disguise?

I said it before and I’ll say it again;

Rikki will become Blaze 2, which will ruin any interest in her.

What would be intriguing is if Mike turned a good guy/gal bad. Plenty of opportunities for good story lines.

If I’m wrong I’ll certainly acknowledge it, but there really can’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind that Tracy doesn’t have a clue that Baxter is Fata.

Good morning™, everyone!

I wonder who is doing these posts. I don’t think that Tracy needs to worry about being targeted, though.

Good morning™, ‘Lighthouse Warnings’ !

Rikki is definitely wary of the Dick while FM exudes confidence …. the way Rikki used to.

Tracy: Tracy to stake-out unit, any sign of Fata at her residence?

Stake-out unit: No, we’ve seen Bob Baxter go in & out a few times, but no Fata.

Tracy: Well, keep watching. Tracy out.

Oh so they has social media in Tracyville too eh. Then how on earth Fatty gots away with keeling peoples and disappearing multiple times and then again going back to doing public shows as herself? Nobody do #FindFattyChallenge till now? Everyone is suffer from short terms memory disorder?

“He’s been hanging around the playhouse. A tempting target.” The lady needs to review her contract. Didn’t it specify Tess Tracy? It would be to Fata’s advantage to get herself together. I have not made Bosco’s acquaintance yet; odds are he won’t be pleased with the screw up at Tess’s agency.

Fata needs to listen to Rikki. However, I remember the elders saying how a hard head makes a soft behind.

Let’s see… The murder of PT is still to be solved. The woman who tried to kill Tess & nearly killed Johnny is still at large. The major trial PT was to testify at is still coming up. Who wanted Tess dead? Why did the Anonymous (just mentioned) want Tess dead? Where is the escaped prisoner carrying Abner’s love child? Is Rikki still carrying Abner’s child, and if not what happened? Those are the things we know Tracy should be working on. In any city of the size of Tracyville we can assume there are a lot of other things popping as well.

“Liz,” Sam called across the bullpen, “where’s Tracy? I have an idea about who might have wanted Tess killed.”

“He’s back at the Patterson Playhouse, watching that comedy magician again. "

“D@mn! Doesn’t he know there is work to do?”

“I think he’s got a crush on the guy… I don’t have the heart to tell Tess.”

If Tracy really had a clue there are far, far better ways to run the investigation than watching Baxter’s acts from the wing. It wouldn’t take much investigation to turn up the persona is fake. And watching the act from the wings is not investigation.

tempting target? unless she has a contract on HIM she shouldn’t she even thinking of it, not if she’s a professional, though she’s already made her style known.

Sage advice from Rikki, Fata.

We were correct all along in thinking Baxter is Fata.

Bob Baxter is really Seven of Nine, and Rikki drinks too much silver nitrate. What a couple!

There they are – Chekov’s Freckles.

So Tracy went to the Baxter show… and nothing happened. Oh brother. If only we could have put some of the plot holes in the wall we just hit, we might have sailed right through it.

Very interesting . Rikki is fond of Dick .

“Stab, poison, irradiate with kryptonite, give a painful ingrown toenail, but DON’T TOUCH! Tracy has guy cooties! Brrr!”

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“You know,Father, this is the first time in my life I haven’t been late for an appointment”

Death row inmate Clark Gable—-MANHATTAN MELODRAMA—1934

Excerpt from Harpo Marx’s memoirs—-

The most fascinating person in vaudeville was Metcalf, who was a female female impersonator.

She’s go on stage dressed as a woman, and at the conclusion of her act would whip off a wig; revealing a mannish haircut,and would boom in a deep voice—“FOOLED YOU!”

But her secret was tough to keep from the rest of the troupe. Every time she went to the men’s room, half the guys on the bill would pile in after her".

1-ROOKIE: Did you know Archie Andrews transitioned? His website is called *_I’m All In!_ * How appropriate. Oops. I mean “HER” website.

2-FATS: I guess that explains why he never decided between Betty and Veronica.

3-ROOKIE: Well don’t you go getting any ideas about us B00BS BAXTER! FATS: Ha ha. I wouldn’t try to get between what you and Fats got going on. ROOKIE: You better not!

FATS: Uh…you do know that we’re the same… Oh never mind.

“Find Fata.” The biggest sensation since Where’s Waldo?"

Fata will try to touch him in 3, 2, 1…

Beware, Fata. Flattop was twice the assassin you are and look what happened to him.

Seems too soon too fast…………?

Coffee is a big topic around here,so look at today’s PEARLS BEFORE SWINE and you can really go to town!!

I was under the impression (apparently wrongly) that Bosco wanted Tess Tracy done away with asap. Mrs. Tracy’s hit seems to have gone on the back burner for Bob Baxter // Morgana and is no longer a priority.
