Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 26, 2010

Hmmm……..This Virgil Ohso looks like he was made from a “Mr. Potato Head” set.

Virgil’s in danger of being swallowed by his chair!

I think it already ate his socks.

It’s the BLOB.

There was no security at all at Symphony Hall. I walked right by the Salahi’s!

“Kid Vicious and the Ringtones”??? Holy Carp that is LAME. and so un-original.

Hey Leaky – GO SAINTS!

I’m right there with ya ridenslide65!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hall must of had the Secret Service moonlighting there.

The Blob, the Blob, beware of the Blob!

The ringtones? Holy motherf………

It just so happens that I know the song that “Kid Vicious and the Ringtones” are going to play

I’ve always loved that song, Leaky.

Wow Leaky, I’ve heard bits and pieces of that song on the radio on numerous occasions, but never really grocked the lyrics or what it was about. Pretty cool.

Sincerely, I think that storyline is not great, but anyway is good.

Grab those sagging jowls over the collar in panel 1. Virgil has become a virtual Oh So, Fat producing machine . A far cry from the “sharp” (Dick Tracy) jawed, long haired music swain seen on 12-10-09. Even on Jan 20, 2010, sitting in the same position, Virgil’s galloping - “hormonal” deficiency was not as pronounced - back then, only a week ago, readers could still see a “collar” around his neck (?)

Even a $39.95 “Resuegence” TV offer to correct his obese neck might have been a more productive and “satisfying” one, than seeing his newly aquired $12.0 mil Stradivarious asset blown to smithereens

This guy’s got a Joe Btfsplk “double whammy”, both his money management and diet wrong.

How long before there is a crime??

This has been going on since the pig on wheels.

Wait… is this some incredibly clever evil plot, or does Jabba just want the violin to blow up wherever the violinist happens to take it? I mean, how could he know the embassy would order a string quartet? I think the plot is going to blow up before the strad does.

Okay now…lemme get this straight. No security at Symphony Hall, where the switch was made. There is security at the embassy, and as of yesterday the string quartet was just about to pass through. Kid Vicious has passed through already. No surprise there, although no doubt guns, knives and brass knuckles were confiscated. Not to mention assorted recreational chemicals. The fact that it’s a Strad turns out to be totally irrelevant, since the Maestro has shown up thinking he didn’t have it. I had thought it would be their key to getting invited, and that’s why Virgil needed it; but obviously Stradivariusness is not a criterion for entrance. Totally illogical, as Mr. Spock would say. Ah, Sydney, I can hardly wait. I’m serious. My curiosity is piqued.

Are we sure this is still the Dick Tracy strip? It’s been over a week since we’ve seen Tracy.

I had no idea Sontarans wore pedal-pushers without socks.

The POW is back after weeks on the disabled list. Welcome back! (Nice to see you, too, Marg, although you never really left.) ;-)

Pig on Wheels said, “Did someone mention my name?”

Oink, oink!

That guy with the chin looks like Jay Leno.

You’ll see Tracy on Friday Araldite, as he deliberately dresses for the Gala with tux, bow tie and “all” … and Araldite, take special note of the “all”!

I smell lace cuffs, Sydney.

Could Low Note be turning into a werewolf?
