Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 14, 2024

“Is our workout over already?”

But her accomplices? Probably fled

Good morning™ everyone!

Well, he didn’t punch her in the face in the way that some people said here would be prohibited by the syndicate, but throwing her off balance followed by a punch to the stomach worked pretty well. Tracy has experience countering martial arts moves.

About time we see some action from Tracy! Glad he didn’t hold back and turned Croptop into Floptop!

Nice couple of days of mucho action and very little talking.

This comments board has gone from R rated to G rated with the absence of Firebutt! LOL!

Great visuals & a Batmanesque sound effect in panel two. 3 1/2 stars!

Good morning™, Winning Gladiators !

If this girl is tough as she makes out to be she will be back up and ready for round three. P.2., the ‘white powder fog’ obscures Tracy’s actual strike point.

“’Tis no way to treat a lady but duty is duty” said DT in Jerome Trohs and Mamma story.

That’s fantastic art work today. Impressive. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s edition.

Hat’s off for the Tracy team……

In Japanese fight scenes there are one hit men. A group will attack the hero, but many of them will be removed by a single blow from the hero. The big villain can take a lot of hits before the end of the fight. I’m looking for Croppie to not be a one-hit man.

This why little girls should no picks fight with big mens.

Was that the sound of Stuffedtop’ s top being popped ?

I’m shocked, Tracy hit a LADY!

I have to admit, the action the last couple of days has been very well rendered. Kudos, Mr. Ettinger.

Right in the breadbasket !

he seems to think 1) the exchange of blows is over and 2) her buddies are staying out of it

Three on one and we’re going downtown? I imagine that Tracy has already pushed some button to alert the cavalry…….

Put the Hat-cuffs on her, Tracy! LOL

Knocked the wind right out of her! (Not nice to hit a lady though, but she is no lady)!

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! An expert reversal by Tracy!

Oooo, a belt to the old gut. I don’t see her getting up from that but Tracy better watch out for her buddies.

huh, well that didn’t take much… :j

Wonder if Croptop will be singing I Fought The Law And The Law Won?

What happened to Croptop’s stooges?

Obviously Dick decided it was time for him to forget he was a gentleman. Of course Croptop isn’t a lady.

One down, two to go.

There’s two other guys there. Are they just going to watch?

Shouldn’t that be, “OOF!” Re-watch your ’67 TV Batman sound effects, folks…

1-DT: FIRST I ABSORB YOUR KICK WITH MY STEEL-LIKE RIBS – owwwww, mama! AND CATCH YOUR LEG…

2-…FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT TO THE GUT! AND JUST LIKE THAT – YOU’RE VANQUISHED!!!

3-CROPPIE: Uh oh. Time for Plan B I WAS PREGGERS WITH CLEANCUT’S CHILD BEFORE THAT PUNCH BUT NOT NOW! You’re going to prison for performing an abortion which is NOW punishable in this state, mister!

DT: Ummm…gotta go. Good seeing you. Take care now. DANG IT! Police work just keeps getting harder and harder!

CLEANCUT: WHAT??? But I don’t even like girls!

Somebody was asking about the hatman “sound effects”

Should I point out the continuity error, that as we left yesterday Croptop was kicking with her left foot but today Tracy is grabbing her right leg to step inside the kick and punch her in the gut?

“I think we’ll go downtown now”. Did Tracy really bring enough zip ties to go around? B.O. has used his old school phone for reinforcements. Walter can keep the other two in check.

That POW! was smaller than anything even seen on the TV show :)

Great combo move, perhaps the death of another member of the Flaptop family is avoided. I’m happy about it because I like Croptop.

I LOVE IT!! DC COMICS has this abundance of bare midriff superhero costumes——and they’re INVITING the bad guys to damage them there.

“Hey bad guys, hit my belly button and win a kewpie doll!”

Ask Barbara Gordon/Batgirl what great fun it is to get shot in the gut.BODY ARMOR. You have to kevlar up in the danger business.
