Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 02, 2024

NOW what the hell is going on?

What the heck is going on here!

Eric, stop torturing us!

Big question of the day;

“Is that a pastrami sandwich?”

Good morning™, everyone!

Camera coincidence? I don’t think so, but I’m not sure how the prisoner could have tampered with the cameras. I’m sure he would have been accompanied to the washroom door.

More "anti"coincidences.

I think this is the first time in the history of Dick that the word ‘toilet’ has ever been uttered…

HEY! When you gotta go, you gotta go!

Bad sign. The guard cameras are having problems!

This must be the same jail Jeffrey Epstein was in.

Good morning™, Shamed Drunks, Scatter Brained Lavatoriers And Apathetic Disgruntled Guards !

We got all the makings of dirty work about to commence. If I was a guard and saw a camera going off I would tend to want to get over there and see if it blew out on its own or had ‘help’.

More buildups. All we gets is more buildups.

Oooh.. How suspenseful. I wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow? /s

It’s been a few hours, and Handlebar is still in the process of escorting Hippy mit Accent to the cell? Inconceivable!

Also, the drunk apologizing is wearing a green shirt. Could he be the guy who was in the clock?

If ya keeps your audiences not knowing what on earth going on for weeks then it a great way to loses yours audiences. Daily comics ain’t movies ya know where audiences is trapped inside a theatre till the end or at least till interval.

Cameras glitching? The Moon Guv’s brother is back!

Day 13: The jury is still empaneled. Building suspense is a technique with value. The last couple weeks have been trying to create an air of suspense as we wait with bated breath for something to happen…

Better bated breath that baited breath. Although cheese might be better bait that chum. I have been told catfish like cheese. I’ve never asked a catfish. But I heard it many years ago when I believed everything I was told. Pre-internet days.

While building suspense can be a great narrative technique leaving your audience screaming, “Just do something already!” and “WTF!” you may have hit the dreaded wall of diminishing returns.

An escape imminute?

“I have need for toilet, yes? I thirsty.”

Mission : Impossible theme coming up.

Mister Blank?

“Heeeey, this isn’t so bad! I’m getting the Teletubby INferno Cage Match on MINE!” And LOOK! Po has a CHAIR! OOOOOOOOCH!!

This is a lot like an acid trip. Stuff happens, but nothing makes sense.

1- DONALD: I’d a let you rot if Daddy didn’t insist that we have a bellringer in the new, high end, exclusive, luxury condo complex! QUASIMODO: Thank you Mr. Donald. Quasi’s hump no like jail bed…

2- DENNIS: Ooooh! Me hear boss’s voice. Must bend over and show fear if want to keep job! No look in eye! OFFICER PORNSTACHE: You’ll be doin’ a lot of bending over where I’m taking you, bub.

3- GOCOMIC REVIEW GUY 1: I can’t read any more of this story! IT’S TERRIBLE! GOCOMIC REVIEW GUY 2: GO COMICS DOESN’T PAY US ENOUGH TO PUT UP WITH THIS TORTURE!!! You got another ketchup packet? I got a few fries left but no ketchup.

GC.R.G.1: Sure. Here. Let’s just see if Firestrike used any forbidden words and call it a day…

Anybody else suddenly getting ads promising nude photos? That’s an odd thing to see on a comic site… (What did you see when you clicked it?)

“I have need for toilet, yes?”

I don’t know. Do you?

And is the cop put out with the guy’s physical needs? Seems like it would be part of the job of managing someone who was incarcerated. Just so long as he didn’t have to hold it for him.

Cue the ominous music

Action starts tomorrow.

Low-bid cameras?? Diet Smith provides all the police tech!
