Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 03, 2010

Not another ransom note!

The Chief sounds like she’s not even buying Tracy’s lazy line of krap!

It happened!

Stay on top of things and keep up the good work, Tracy.

He only asked one question, and now there’s not much to go on,,,brilliant…

My guess is tomorrow Tracy will be back at the house and the conversation today will never have taken place.

I see they’ve installed doggy doors on the entrance to the Police Diner

More prophetic than you realize, Ludwig!

And the ransom note will take at least two days to read and a week to ponder.

This is what I have to carry me through hurricane season?

Did he have any enemies?

-Cougar :{)

Snide comments are futile, I can not believe the awful awfulness that this strip as become.

Maybe his rotting corpse is still lying of the stage of the Science Museum Theater.

sick spacy: master interrogator!

@ DatBigGuy - Yeah, I’ve been posting on and off for over a year, and even wrote TMS to complain. I don’t know what the problem is, but no one seems to care.

Case in point: What the hell is that building in the middle panel and why is it there?

This strip is in dire need of a writer, artist and editor.

Panel 3:

“Maybe his wife will get a ransom note, Tracy.”

I thought the morphing buildings were psychedelic but now Police Headquarters is sentient, it can think and talk, adding its two bits.

Maybe Police HQ will add more observations in the future.

“You know, Tracy, if I wasn’t stuck to this foundation, I would go out and show you how to conduct a real investigation. Now do something useful and tell the janitor to mop up the mess in the second floor men’s room.”

Yes, but a GOOD writer, a GOOD artist, and a GOOD editor.

The artist must live in a town where every building has huge block letters on top telling what it is or what’s inside. On top of his house it says HACK.

Maybe his wife knocked him off.

Remember when Liz(the chief) was a photographer in a night club?

the giant block letters are from the show fringe, originally

how about the name of some of these frienemies, or are we going to either with the wife or the talking house (at least the house seemed to show some sorrow)

Mansion yesterday, POLICE building today, mansion tomorrow…

I wonder if these strips are being printed out of order?

Not that it really makes much of a difference.
