Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 16, 2024

Blackmail dread from the bobblehead. Look to see beans spilled

Give knife a twist to noontime tryst. Romance is thus killed.

Bitter and conniving, she has a tale to tell

Clandestinely recorded, she sends the boss to hell.

Low road for the “Tip Top” is the only path they know

Shovel dirt. Who cares who’s hurt? Just watch the profits grow.

What might be the asking price for grime so freshly dug?

Lurid is the tabloid’s song. Addictive is the drug.

Here we’d thought it was a simple audio bug.

Yabba Dabba Dud!

Good morning™, all!

The hidden camera evidence should be enough to blackmail him with. That’s a reasonably inconspicuous camera only if you don’t look closely.

Good morning™, Candid Cameras !

All those tapes of fires-truck with my Goats awta be worth a verrry pri-tee penny. Bwa-Haa-Haaaaaaa !

Who’s the baseball player?

Given the fact the owner is practically having this affair in the open, parading his partner literally in his office, seems to indicate he’s not exactly a prime candidate for blackmail. Either he’s too stupid to care if he gets caught, or more likely he just doesn’t care. Why would he? Chances are his wife already knows he’s a cheater & puts up with it, & in today’s world the general public wouldn’t care either, especially if the team is winning on the field. Only in the secretary’s Neo-Puritan mind would two grown adults going at it “like teenagers” be considered “disgusting” & scandal worthy.

Oh, what a crafty girl. I hope for her sake that the memory card doesn’t get traced back to her because in some places, what “Goldilocks” did is also illegal.

Ah, the old camera-in-the-eyeball trick.

Wonder if the secretary is helping to put the screws to her boss because he’s not doing that to her instead of whoever he’s seeing? That’s the only reason I can think of for planting the hidden camera……

Re: Hall of Fame, had to Google it to find out Ms. Baldwin’s work was in Portland, Oregon. As a West Coaster, I just thought of Portland that way until the Stand By Me movie taught me about the one in Maine. Anyone else?

Well done, Charles!

Ah, another typically sex-obsessed lunch with Carrie and Miranda. Guess Samantha and Charlotte had other plans today…..

I’m thinking one did not mess with Lola. Isn’t there a song about whatever Lola wants…she looks like my first grade teacher, Ida, and one did not mess with Ida either…

Two hours of cute cats chasing a kite on the lawn. How thrilling. Next time, angle it away from the window.

It probably won’t take much effort for the boss to figure out who was most likely to succeed in putting a hidden camera into his office. Whatever She is getting out of this, she may be looking for a new job soon. Or maybe there’s a murder in the offing.

Bobbleheads! I always knew they were lookin’ at me funny!

1-MISS SCHOTTOHELL: Love what you’ve done with your hair! Is the top of your head naturally flat or do you have someone smack it with a frying pan?

2-SARAH SCANK: Yeah well at least I haven’t had so much eye surgery that I have to cross my eyes to see what’s in front of me!

3-MISS SCHOTTOHELL: Oh yeah!

4- … Well, maybe you don’t want this recording after all. I’ll just pop it out and…

5-SARAH: I take it back! You’re so hot that even those two gay guys at the table behind me are talking about switching teams! MISS SCHOTTOHELL: That’s better – here! Now get me that fifty cents an hour raise you promised me for getting you this scoop!

SARAH: You drive a hard bargain (eye roll) but sure…

So kudos to that Female officer. She worked for 14 years. Was she 70 when she started?

How come Sunday is such a nothing going on day ?

Thanks for the story of Lola Baldwin!

This storyline is just draging on…

Okay, we’ll have to look for role models on Monday,instead…..

And why do t he bobblehead players always get traded during the off-season. I’ve got a big statue of NY Mets pitches Noel Syndergaard, who used to be hot stuff.

These days he’s probably working at CHIPOTLE

If that’s a standard bobblehead, imagine how much the image shakes
