Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 22, 2012

I have a feeling Teevo isn’t the only one needing to be kept busy.

Good morning!Just look at adoring Fritz Ann and resignedSam!

Wonder if Davey Mylar will be there?

When I was a kid in the early 1970’s I got the Celebrated Cases Of Dick Tracy book for my birthday and read it again and again until it practically fell apart. So, seeing that murdering rat Little Face Finney as Leonard, working hand in hand with DT and the MCU is really really weird but also very cool. It shows how inventive and talented this new Team Tracy is. We’re lucky they got the gig.

I agree with Buzza, it’s weird but cool. Good to see Mole reformed as well. But what’s with Tess and her, “Joe and I” remark… Hmmm, just how well DO these two work together?

Mornin’ VistaBill, Ray, Ashmael & Co.!Up late working, so I’m here at (yipes) 2:36 am!Can’t wait to see what happens when the raid takes place! With Tess and Adonis participating, I’ve a bad feeling about things…Could Adonis be the other mole?(Of course, I’m almost always wrong!)

Good morning all…*

Sam isn’t very happy today!

While Adonis buckles up his Kevlar (or maybe something better), Sam suffers the embarrassment of public Fritz Ann adoration!With the chief off to distract Teevo, it looks like the raid will be in the hands of just seven good guys, four from the MCU, two from the private agency, and one from the FBI. Unless they get a lot of last-minute uniform back-up, maybe including SWAT, I don’t like these odds. A raid on a major crime headquarters with numerous gang bosses (and probably a bunch of their minions, too) should have overwhelming force, and so far that seems lacking here….

I think Tess’ comment about Joe may be a typo. Why would she bring up her young son? I think it should read Johnny instead.

Number 11!! :) I think tess was trying to allieviate tracy’s concerns of “what if we both get injured.. who will take care of our son”…. tess just sort of cut him off at the pass before he could mention it. sharp wit on that girl! and nightshade09.. BITE YOUR TONGUE!! the LEGENDARY johnny adonis didnt come back to the strip after (how many) years of not being around only to be the 2nd mole! btw i am gonna repost this with the # sign at the beginning instead of the word “number” to test my theory from yesterday. doing my best DOUBLEUP IMPRESSION lol.

well.. there goes that theory! lol

“Joe” is Joe-The-Plumber. Tracy spends so much time away that Tess ……….. never mind.

Has it been established in the story that there definitely IS a second mole, or is that just speculation on the part of some of the fans posting here?

I have no memory of Mike teasing a second mole or one being mentioned or alluded to in the strip.

Where is Tess’s right hand?

It’s turned in a bit as she’s putting on her coat. The colorist made it blue. It’s easier to see in the black and white version. Nice to see Fritz Ann and Lizz are dressing like twins again. lol

There are two moles. Lt Teevo is one for the Mr Crime side, and now Littleface is one for the Tracy side.

So here is the current balance sheet:GOOD GUYS1. Dick Tracy2. Sam Catchem3. Lizz Worthington4. Lee Ebony5. Fritz Ann Dietrich6. Tess Tracy7. Johnny Adonis8. Chief Pat Patton9. Leonard “Little Face” Finney(I am working on the assumption he can be trusted)BAD GUYS1. Panda2. B-B Eyes3. Mumbles4. Abner Kadaver5. Double Up6. Blaze Rize7. Lt. Teevo8. The mushroom lady9. Davey MylarFor now I will call Cassie Ette an innocent patsy bystander. The Barracuda and the Muerte vines are just dangerous, and have no allegiance either way. Let the fun begin!

hmmmm…..3 more deaths – but July 8th is two weeks away…..so I’ll guess in the meantime at least one more will be vine related, lol….

Dude,that’s Lizz. get your eyes checked!Lizz is in panel one. It is Fritz Ann clinging to Sam in panel three. The colorist decided to color them the same.
