Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 01, 2024

the Serbian Thor wannabe is thrown under the bus by the Tottenites…

Good morning™, everyone!

He insists! There’s something fishy going on if he actually believes that calling back would change anything. I’m surprised that the transit cops have an overnight holding cell.

The “trash” must be chucked out.

Good morning™, Disappointed And Desperate !

Is mister smarty pants sweating now ?

“I Totten family. Disowned. Eyebrows not dark enough. Ask Junior!!”

“Me Tarzan, you Jane!”

Totten won’t claim him. Neither would the Apparatus. Oh yeah, they have standards he wouldn’t make the grade.

“You’re staying overnight, while we figure a few things out.” Translation: We’re stretching this out, because we know Dick Tracy fans can’t get enough of plot threads about minor quality of life offenses.

So is this guy legit and the other guy is fake if we’re going by yesterday?

that transit cop looks like that cop that pulled over BO in the Hatmobile in the city park a few arcs ago…

I remember that cop as being a by-the-book type of cop and I mentioned he could be a new cast addition…

if it IS that same cop, is he doing a side gig as a transit cop?…

How much is a subway fare? Would the transit cops really hold someone overnight for jumping a turnstile? Seems extreme to me.

Day 12: Jury is still out on whether this makes logical sense. No particular reason to think it does, no particular reason to think it doesn’t.

Even if we have entered fantasy-land (as they say at Disneyland) 9 days without plot or logic holes may be a new record. And even if plot is introduced tomorrow 12 days when we had no idea of the direction may be a record of its own.

Who is steenky old man Rotten and how he gots so much influence over em cops?

Listen up Soviet Shaggy…I dont care if your friends doubleparked your mystery machine in a no loading zone, you’re spending some time in the gulag until we figure out what in Lenin’s name is going on here and we dont wanna hear any borscht outta you…da? Da!

Yesterday when Old Man Totten said “His I.D.’s a fake. Not our issue.” Did he mean since it’s not our I.D., we don’t have to deal with the problem, or did he mean we didn’t issue the I.D.? Or does it matter?

“call them back, I insist” really well ok buddy we’ll waste more time.

though his german accent would go with the german name of the company

MOVIE QUOTE—“You lie down with flies you come up smelling like garbage !”

Tony Bennett—THE OSCAR—1966

1- OFFICER SIDEKICK: OK – I just ordered you some more ammo even though you got enough on your belt to start a war. OFFICER PORNSTACHE: Finish one ya mean.

2- YAKOV SMIRNOFF JR: Everybody have gun here but nobody really safe. WHAT A COUNTRY!

3- OFFICER PORNSTACHE: SHADDAP PUNK! We got the 2nd Amendment here that our glorious forefathers knew we would need to protect ourselves from each other some day! They also knew we were too stupid to elect a President so they rigged up something called an Electoral College so that our President could be elected with a minority of the popular vote! If you think that’s funny, you can just take the first subway back to Canada you poutine eatin’, maple syrup swillin’ polite guy you! YAKOV: Canadian???

Okay,once this guy sobers up…gets detoxed…or whatever…he’ll probably drop some interesting information…then the MCU flips a coin on whether or not to follow it up(considering the source)

per p3, I think we’re all trying to figure a few things out here…

Be with us on Sunday, when Jim Pistol puts Firestrike through a rigorous workout

Looks like the inker got carried away when doing the mustache in the last panel!
