I like how the ‘battlements’ are silhouetted. Night scene looks great too. If it looks like Tracy will get the better of Moptop her boys are liable to pitch in and that means B.O. better be ready…
In my version of this comic, Croptop and Tracy are doing the same thing, and in the background we see Thug One and Thug Two running away in Croptop’s car. They are not fools (in my version), they don’t want to pick a fight with any cop, but certainly not Dick Tracy.
…and btw, I’m betting that Cropsy’s two toadies are “lovers not fighters”….y’know, the kind who stand around just watchin’ a fight but won’t get involved beyond that……….B.O will prevail……..
To me, it looks like everybody is standing around mesmerized by the fight and they’ve forgotten they’re supposed to b e doing anything BUT stand still.
I went back to read Saturday, Sunday and today. This fight sequence has very nice continuity – especially Sunday’s so called “throw away panel” – it is a slightly different repeat of Saturday’s last panel. Nicely done!
1-DT: TIME OUT! BOWLING LEAGUE: I’LL ALLOW IT! CROPPIE: WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON??? No matter…
2-…I’m way ahead on points. Have your man throw in the white towel. DT: Will his brown underwear do? CROPPIE: Never mind. Once again you’ve left your jaw as open as a 24 hour convenience store. Say goodnight, Dick.
DT: We’re doing Rowan and Martin routines now? How about “YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY…” *THUNK”
I’m enjoying the action here. Tracy won’t be hit again – the next one that lands is going to be that massive Tracy fist in that pucker puss Croppie has.
Once again the art is great. Interesting silhouette of B.O.’s face under the beard.
Whoa, ho, ho, ho, everybody was kung-fung fighting, those kicks were fast as lightning. In fact, it was a little bit frightening, but they fought with expert timing.
That kick is not going to work twice. Apparently croptop was never told not to try the same trick twice in a fight. She’s gonna have to learn the hard way. She should have finished off Tracy when she had him down.

Only thing missing are the Whams! & Pows! from the “HatMan” Tv show along with Bill Dozier’s narration. A great fight sequence continues. 4 stars.

At first glance, I thought Croptop was holding some kind of curved blade in the last panel, but now I see that it’s a crescent moon.

So it’s Tracy vs a woman half his size? That sounds about right. Good thing B.O. is there to bail him out. BTW, where’s Sam? Nearest deli?
