Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 24, 2024

Good morning™, everyone!

Where do you put bitcoins or are they just virtual?

I don’t know dick about crypto currency…

Good morning™, Funny Monies !

Wonder who the seller was that he lost a fortune to ?   Chuck’s fake currency looks authentic as the real world article.

So Pierce began draining his accounts & buying cryptocurrency 9 months ago, apparently to pay off a blackmailer, but he waited until now to kill himself, evidently because of a guilty conscience. What’s that about? Hopefully we’ll get a look at the bigger picture fairly soon. 2 1/2 stars for today.

All that porridge certainly wents somewhere Goldilocks.

Well, don’t know much about crypto myself but since that’s now in the picture, there’s a possibility he got despondent because he forgot his account’s password.

Unnamed Detective sure uses that finger a lot.

I’m sorry, but today is an example of two contradicting styles. The traditional Dick Tracy style and the female detective in the modern comic life like style which Charles does. In fact the female detective’s face should be softer IMO because she looks like a guy, especially in P1.

How the heck did Angie Dickerson turn into Adam Dickerson faster than a Firestrike fart?

Chucky, ya wanna explain that?

Lots of people lost a lot of money in crypto, I hear, I wish I knew more about it!

Reminds me Superman’s dog is named Krypto!

That much money has to leave some sort of paper trail—might even be a Fed case. Could we see Fritz again?

I’m not sure my heart can take all this sitting-at-a-desk excitement. I should probably rest between each panel next time.

and again in banking all your investments and moving money is tracked just because of this very possibility. meaning the entire story line is badly research and considering sunday give things like ‘crime stopper tips’ it speaks badly of the whole strip now

“We don’t know where it is.”— Who is we? Not knowing for sure who Misty is or whom she works for is an increasingly nagging distraction from the plot. EOC, give us some helpful context on her already, ’kay?

Search the paper trail.

I still think Matty Square may be involved.

There was recently a short cryptocurrency scam storyline in On The Fastrack.

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“Most of my ancestors were soldiers. With a remarkable talent for getting themselves killed”.

David Niven—-THE REAL GLORY—1939

“They went That-A-Waaaaaay!” (a-which-a-way???) “THAT-A-WAY!!”……………

Geeeze! Does that woman ALWAYS look like she’s constipated???

If you can’t hold money in your hand,it ain’t there

Is this a man or a woman? It looks like she transformed from Monday to Friday.

I wonder if we’ll soon meet a new Tracy adversary—Blockchain!

1-DT: So Gordo wanted us to know that a blackmailer was behind his suicide but wanted us to have to work to figure that out. SHEESH!

2-BRENDA BENDA: It gets dumber. He apparently paid NINE MILLION IN CRYPTO to the blackmailer over a 9 month period and THEN killed himself! He could’ve just topped himself without paying first!

3-DT: Crypto you say. Wasn’t that the name of Jacques Cousteau’s boat? BRENDA BENDA: No. That was the Calypso

DT: Oh. Wasn’t it the nickname of that Professor X guy ‘cause he was in a wheelchair? Crip-O? BRENDA BENDA: Nobody ever called him that.

DT: Wasn’t that the name of some guy with severely arthritic toes – Crip Toes? BRENDA BENDA: How ‘bout I shove this finger up your nose till I find gray matter? DT: HA HA! You’ll need a longer finger than that!

This story arc seems to have promise. I hope it doesn’t disappoint in the end. BTW, who is the mystery woman and why is she involved?

This strip has become as exciting as Rex Morgan!

Ye gods Charles…put some make up on the lady……please!

Was Mike bit by a crypto scam? This new investigator seems very down on crypto. (those of us with money to make investments should be as cautious about crypto, as the newbie seems to be down in it.)

I probably won’t be back until Wednesday May 29th—Holiday weekend and slashed work schedule.

In t he meantime, if Uppward Lee Mobile contacts you,hang up.

NOW I know who she reminds me of—a very ticked off Kyle MacLauchlan.

Why does this woman remind me of wesley from the princess bride?
