Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 07, 2024

oooo, Secret Squirrel stuffs…

Good morning™, all!

Like I said, top secret, just not secret from Sirob. I like the vary “camera angles” and distances. Very nicely done, and I think that Charles is quite good at shadows.

I like the overhead angle shot of everyone hearing Daddy relate his tale in panel three…

I wonder what " it" is.

Good morning™, Long Awaited Panoramic shots !

We get the adults while Annie has excused herself to the restroom. This could be a long night, with all the catch up talk. Annie and Daddy are looking good, with Daddy getting a square pupiless eye which makes a nice contrast to Annie’s pupliless eyes.

Is Annie orphaned from a family of zombies ?

Everyone being seated far apart means no one has to smell anyone else’s skanky skunk breath.

Ah, the story comes together!

Nice perspective artworks again. However me not get what on earth going on in story.

“Made plans to steal the information and plans”— Is it just me, or does a good bit of the dialogue in this story have an odd and extra-clunky feel?

Sounds like Letters of Transit…..

Poor Annie, she still has to kneel at the feet of her master!

Annie, stop staring at the sun. Watch the eclipse on TV! The eyes may return.

MOVIE QUOTE—

Richard Pryor,supposedly mixing with the inmates after a prison concert

PRYOR: “Man,why did you kill EVERYBODY in that house?”

INMATE: “Cuz they was home”.

RICHARD PRYOR:LIVE ON THE SUNSET STRIP—1982

DW: Three words, Tracy: Exploding Whoopie Cushion at the Royal reception. The queen giggled. A LOT. And you wonder why I never spread this around.

ANNIE: Mr. Tracy, take me away from the bad man!!!

PANEL 1: “It’s classified” = Mike forgot and doesn’t want to look it up.

PANEL 2: WTH??? LEARNED OF WHAT? BRING BACK ERIC! Hey. Is that the idea? Drum up support for Eric?

The coloring is too bright .

In the 1938 finale’,Boris Sirob killed 400 people—-and that was just the appetizer

An awful lot of informal distance between the cast.Aren’t we all supposed to be buddies?

The secret was that they found out Herbert Hoover screwed up the country on purpose.

1-OLIE: BEAT IT, BRAT! IT’S “GROWN-UP” TIME!

2-OLIE: So you boys been getting’ any mud for your turtle? Chipmunk for your snake?

3-OLIE: I know you’re not, Garageman. I mean – look at you! But how about you Tracy, you big hunk of beefcake? Have Liz or Lee been looking to climb the ladder by climbing your tree?

DT: I can’t be the only one completely lost in this conversation… (story) GARAGEMAN: As a matter of fact, I got lucky at a Colorado goat farm a few nights ago…

WHAT is going on? We’re just getting bits and pieces of a plot. I have no idea what’s going on.

Excuse me but is this a Dick Tracy or Annie strip? Just wondering as I don’t see any detective work happening. Maybe in a couple of weeks or so.

Well, I’ll be back with my expert opinions on Monday,March 11th.

Taking tomorrow off to see the Philadelphia Flower Show,biggest in the United States.

But if I see a guy with a weird neck talking to roses,I’m outta there…..

Warbucks has square eyes?
