Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 15, 2024

all that cash and no exploding dye packs… my-ass…

bad plot detail on Mike’s part again…

“It’s a signed first edition of “Anne of Green Gables”. I loved that book."

Good morning™, everyone!

Now the big haul is coming and all three of these people will be in on it.

that had to be the quickest bank heist ever… no planning, just a hit ’n git and back at wherever to split the booty…

Good morning™, Ill Gotten Gains !

Red could have been a male model. What is he doing being involved in ugly work with ugly people ?  “Hairy” is exactly the stereotype for sleaze bag ne’er do wells. Really diggin’ on the graphics and the story part is A-OK.

Time to eliminate Goldtop and Baldtop!

A good old style heist. Still loving the artwork though…..

She has not said how much the book will cost. Nor whether it is in mint condition and a first edition.

How are they going break those large denominations into small bills as not to bring attention to themselves? Did they get enough to lay low for a while?

When will they learns crime does not pays. Especially this sorta blatant one where they be easily identified.

And, because Tracy has just read an article on Croptop before a bank robbery happened Tracy will know she is behind it. Not sure if that will be an example of:

A. Tracy knowing the frequency of coincidence in the strip.

B. Tracy’s frequent ESP powers.

Visuals very well done today!

She’s buying a book? Is she taking after Libris, or whatever that book lady was called?

Red switched from a man’s shirt to a woman’s shirt between panels.

Is that Wilbur’s evil twin?

What about the silent alarm sounded yesterday?

“Th’ SIX CUTE BUNNIE WUNNIES PULL A BANK JOB. It’s a freakin’ CLASSIC! I got all th’ action figures, ‘cept Chainsaw Jake, an’ next job,we’re gettin’ HIM. Some geezer named Warbucks has a solid gold one! any resistance, an’ I call in Sluggo, Nancy’s he-moll to do the strong arm stuff.”

(assorted goons gasp and hide in the closet and under the bed)

NEXT CAPER: One of those little Jack In he Box clown heads you put on your car’s antenna!

The story is still good . A lot for two panels and I like the dump hotel room they’re in .

P2: Orange-haired guy giving Blad-head the look – time for you to leave and let me be alone with CropTop

Croptop doesn’t look like the trusting type. I doubt she’s goig to share in a larger money scam with these two.

Since we just wrapped a never-ending story centering on collectable books, I’ll guess that this is a yet-to-be-published book investment.

…….And evidently there wasn’t much loot……..bummer!

1-CLEANCUT (new name): Well. It’s late. We should all get in bed. Move your money off it please. CRAPPIE: NO. Gitcher own rooms – you got money for them now. I like to never got to sleep with you two cover hogs last night. CLEANCUT: Wanna sharsies, Bowling? I liked being spooned.

2-BOWLING LEAGUE: Sure. Hey! How’s come I only got one stack and you two got bunches?

CRAPPIE: Uh…remember? You opened an account at the bank before we left and put most of yours in an interest bearing account. BOWLING: I did? Wow. I’m not usually that smart. MY money is making money while yours is losing value to inflation! CLEANCUT: Yeah, Bowling…smart. Now let’s go get that room…

Story has promise. Graphics are A+. The strip is on a roll.

Enjoy the loot for the moment. Tracyville swat is on it’s way

the plot thickens

“The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism” by Emmanuel Goldstein (known to readers simply as, The Book. )

I don’t think she wanted to split this job…..
