Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 19, 2024

Without his coat, how will Tracy recognize the perp?

and yet another rogue makes good his escape…

His “image” is lost to the fetid waters.

Bad guys & gals getting away has become a staple of the strip in recent years.

Good morning™, Empty Shells !

Dicky is left holding the bag.

Best Minnit Mystery that I recall.

Does the Mac have an owner’s name written on it? Or even better, a wallet with an address? Stranger things have happened in real life.

And where is the mirror mask?

Good morning™, everyone!

I have no new comment to make today.

I still use a flip up phone.

10 / 17 – Tracy’s left hand is in his coat pocket as MM threatens him. MM’s phone rings.

10 / 18 – Tracy slugs MM with his right and pulls open flip phone out of pocket with left. MM runs off while wearing his coat.

10 / 19 – Tracy’s left hand hand opened the flip phone and speed dialed MM while the hand was in his pocket. (Pretty amazing since it wasn’t his phone and he didn’t know which number to hit to use the speed dial for MM. That’s one smart left.) Meanwhile, the coat MM was wearing yesterday when he ran off is now off and in the… what we will euphemistically call water – near Tracy.

I think that’s the action for the last three days. Anyone want to explain the logic… If there is any logic to explain. Nonsense requires no explanation.

What oh what be this Mistery of this Misterious Mirror eh.
