So it’s just about a year since Dick Tracy escaped his greatest death trap, the mindfryingly poor writing and art that threatened to doom this classic strip. And now, here we are. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m happy.
With Jerry King’s helpful commentating, Tracy enters the squared circle. Mole is distracted from his Throat Trouble; Thunderchild turns on Tracy and is about to beat him down when Mole attacks again, and with Mole’s help, Tracy cuffs the heel and hustles him out of the ring. The audience thinks it’s all part of the show.
The Mole seems to be holding his own, Fuzzy Wuzzy. Now, let’s sit back and gleefully wait another day to see how Team Tracy does against the big bully Thunderbelly. I, for one, cannot WAIT!
@jumbobrainI’ll second that! I just started reading DT again near the end of the run of bad scripts and worse art. It has been well and truly salvaged and is now a delight to read.
I just read this strip in the Houston Chronical ! The pen is mightier than the paint brush . All hail pen & ink ! Go get him Tracy - "and it’s a step over toe-hold… and Thunderthud is down for the count ! "
I wonder if after this the Mole will have a career as a professional wrestler, raising money for his families. He’d make a rather unusual face, but I’d bet audiences would love him, especially considering why he’s wrestling.
I think the new team is doing a great job, and I like this plot. All I can complain about, and it’s a regular complaint from many, is the GoComics color.Today is too much: I just can’t stand DT in that mustard yellow.

I can’t see how this situation could possibly cause a wrestling audience to panic.

Thunderchild is going to break the Mole’s neck and kill him in the ring TOMORROW and DT and Sam will be left to pick up the pieces. RIP Mole.

Panic? My dad once told me if he were to fight a war he would get the audience of wrestling matches on his side first.

The guy with the mustache reminds me of Sir Kane. Probably just a coincidence.

This comic has DEFINITELY improved since the new writers took over. Bringing back Chester Gould’s successful cast was a great idea.

Love DT, love this story, love the comments.

I can’t see the Mole becoming a wrestler (even after whooping Thunderchild).But maybe a manager, working ringside?
