Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 01, 2012

APRIL FOOL! None of the comics show up…

The Banker and Ebenezer Scrooge, separated at birth?

Old Man Potter from “It’s A Wonderful Life”?

There is a spider dangling over your head… oops wait it just fell!APRIL FOOLS!

Black Jack looks like Marley`s ghost, that Scrooge will have his day…maybe its last

Anyone want to relate their worst April Fools day prank?My Mother was the Queen of April Fools Pranks.The above prank was played on me while we were sitting at the dinner table. My Dad even got up and started looking in my hair to see if he could find the spider. My Mom had us both going for about 5 minutes.I think the worst prank of all was when she woke my sister and I up and told us that the power had gone out and all the clocks had stopped. We were almost late for school and had to hurry or we would miss the bus. Of course it was all a lie. We ended up eating breakfast and waiting a half hour until it was really time to go to school.

If Fritz Ann is that aggressive in getting what she wants then Sam had better look out.

Another great story in the works!My ongoing question is, “Who is the new Mr. Crime?” With all the great old-time characters that have been brought back, there are some others that I hope will not turn out to be this Boss-of-Bosses. Flattop (arguably Tracy’s most famous foe), died a definitive death. And while I know that MANY of the Tracy villains have found a second life, Flattop drowned, was shown on a slab, & was seen buried. The Brow – impaled on an American flagpole (how appropriate for a Nazi spy!). Tough to make a recovery. Even Mr. Bribery (dropped from a Space Coupe through a prison roof) should stay dead. Pruneface may still be alive, but he was more involved in anti-American espionage as opposed to being a crime boss.So, any guesses?

Banker Wormsworth, both in name and appearance, could indeed be straight out of a Dickens novel. Only Fritz Ann Dietrich’s aggressiveness may have saved his bacon (if he really cooperates). C’mon, Tracy, don’t let this FBI agent overshadow you in your own town!

OH NOES! Mucus Face got away while Tracy was heaving! http://tinyurl.com/tracyheave

I have a feeling this may be Mr Wormsworth’s lucky day.

Dickensian characters trapped in a Dick Tracy adventure … what more could a poor comic strip fan ask? -Please, Sir. I want more, Sir."

Some think Mr. Crime is a woman - – - ie Flatop’s wife. Never before seen in the strip. But I belive that’s been denied ! ?

is it just ME or wasnt fritz ann’s coat RED yesterday when she put it on? i’m gonna check that now lol

yup, her jacket WAS red. i wonder who slipped up?

The real criminal in this story is the BANKER!

In the next-to-last panel, we learn that Agent Fritz is descended from the puffer fish..@tsuil2121: the dailies are colored by gocomics, not the strip’s artists. Some of us suspect this is a software algorithm and not a person, given the weird colors that sometimes show up. The Sunday strips are colored by the artists, and are therefore authoritative.

C’mon Sam! Opportunity only knocks once! Get yer bottle of blue pills and call her bluff!

Way to go, Fritz-Ann!I don’t know what’s wrong with all the Fritz-Ann haters, I like the character, and I’m enjoying her interaction with Tracy & Co.

With that attitude, he almost deserves to be robbed.

The best strip around….no fooling!

TERRY Please give me the HTML code for inserting pictures again. What I was using doesn’t work, and I’m getting requests for the pysanki eggs. Thanks! No I’m not computer savvy. :-/

FBI agent?. She looks evil.

Is it just me or does Fritz Ann look just like Liz today? Is Fritz Ann supposed to be a somewhat abundant woman? They don’t seem to show her full body but her shoulders and torso look rather hefty and her head looks disproportionately tiny.

Good afternoon all…

All I know is that DT keeps getting better and better!

Maybe we could get a walk-on from a certain TV detective who was never seen without a raincoat… and usually a hard-boiled egg… and the world’s ugliest gray car. That guy knows where to get trench-coats!

Looks like when Fritz Ann is focused, she can be as hard as they come. Hope Sam doesn’t get on the receiving end. As far as the identity of Mr. (or Mrs.) Crime… I refer to the strip on June 16 2011, the first mention of Crime Inc. for the longest time. A man walked away with a bag from Saturn Planet comics. He has a belt buckle with an “A” on it. He could have the last name “Alpha,” he could be a Crimson Tide fan… anything. But I got a feeling that whatever’s happening, said comic book store may be a part of it.
