Today’s strip is particularly interesting, particularly panel two. The actor portraying Tracy in the proposed movie could be Warren Beatty, who still wants to make a sequel to his 1990 homage. Could there be another movie on the way in reality? Also, the Horse-Face in the newspaper Blackjack is reading could be Mike’s teaser to a forthcoming villain down the road. How about it, Mike?
“The Dick Tracy Story’ is a from a Collins/Locher story from 1990 to tie-in with the Warren Beatty movie. Vitamin played himself…he called it “a challenging role. I will strive to be natural-” Tracy replied, “It’s a stretch but you’re up to it.”

Was “The Dick Tracy Story” a talkie? ‘Cause Vitamin Flintheart sure looks young in that poster!Sound Boots and Saddles! It’s action time!

Vitamin was already pretty old when he met Tracy so I’m going to assume that he played someone else in the movie.

Horseface? Does Blackjack like to play the play the ponies?

I guess it would have been too much to ask to have Ralph Byrd star in “The Dick Tracy Story”.

Vitamin Flintheart may have been too old to play Tracy, but with a little make-up… okay, a lot of make-up…

Man talk about living in the past. Payrolls today are almost all electronic. The days of large cash payrolls are gone.

Must be Ralph Byrd or Warren Beatty – it doesn’t look like Morgan Conway.
