Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 27, 2012

A good old fashion Dick Tracy bust! Excellant team Tracy. Great job!

This strip is choice!

Hey, I"m number 3 today! That’s what nightmares will do for you. When Carole and I were in talks with Sara Karloff to bring back BORIS KARLOFF TALES OF MYSTERY, I was telling her one of the plots to a new story and she stopped me, saying she didn’t to have bad dreams.

Karloff would be proud of the way you feature Kadaver, Mike. He would even give Tracy nightmares! Tomorrow’s strip can’t come too soon!

I love the Kadaver character.

And B.B. Eyes is ready to shoot it out just like back when Tracy and Patton were after him!

Looks like maybe Panda and Kadaver (or just Kadaver?) have some pre-planned escape route at hand. Can Tracy and the MCU team fight their way in (past B.B. Eyes and whomever else gets in their way) quickly enough to apprehend Panda?And what has happened in the Mumbles-Leonard Finney shootout? Or, for that matter, the Patton-Teevo shootout? —So many climactic events, all happening at once!

Good morning everyone…

Like a three-ring circus!

Kadaver’s costume is a show in itself!

Number 11 today! This is a great strip…so much action at such a great pace. Can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

Number twelve for me! lol

seems like i’ve started a trend here… is EVERYONE keeping track of what number they come in at now? lol! how could panda and kadaver have had something planned? were they EXPECTING tracy and his team to bust them? i think theres going to be a few more “shots fired” and then a “sweeping series of panels” on sunday to show the results of each shootout with the “winners” standing over the “not so fortunates”

I love the way that Mike and Joe keep things moving along. We didn’t see the shoot out that started yesterday but know that it happened by Tracy’s comment. Wonderful suspense..Panda looks completely shocked so apparently no one had been watching the MCS monitor or caught on to Leonard’s being a mole. Can’t wait to see what Abner has up his sleeve. Such a great creepy character. I hope he survives!

Panda tells Kadaver “Grab whatever you can”, so I’m assuming he means “grab the evidence & run”. Yet Abner looks like he’s ready to his Dracula impression.

With a kick that would put a mule to shame

Tracy proves he is still in the game

Be assured he has a stout back-up plan

As he’s flanked by Sam and agent Fritz Ann

B.B. Eyes lovingly works his pistols slide

He really should be finding a place to hide

Panda’s alarmed but is on the ball

He’ll let others take the big fall

And may I just take this moment to opine

It sure looks like Abner is flashing that vine

Come back tomorrow to see what’s in store

You can just bet it won’t be a bore.

Thanks everyone for your comments yesterday.

i was thinking something along those lines too wndrwrthg.. except not FLASHING as much as maybe COVERING something up? or perhaps UNCOVERING something? the muerte vines are too large to carry out without being hindered, and i doubht teh barracuda can leave the tank.. so what exactly IS up kadaver’s sleeve?

btw wndrwrthg… thats NOT fritz ann with sam and dick.. its LIZZ.. fritz has bangs

I’m betting Abner has a death trap ready to spring on Tracy & Co. that will keep them busy (a the very least!) while Panda and the bad guys make tracks!Mike’s given us a whole batch of new “classic” bad guys like Abner Kadaver, Blaze Rize and Blackjack that you want to see coming back for more!Woo Hoo! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip!

Wow – could Abner have a trap door that’ll drop the good guys into the muerta vines?

now is no time to expose yourself, Kadaver!sheez! there’s a time a place for everything

…really like the high impact drawing and the door knob flying…well done

What is Abner up to? Right now he looks like a flasher.

Maybe they will try to grab the vine and run, only to become it’s next meal!!!

This here is more action than occurred in that whole dang circus story a couple years back.

I am guessing that Kadaver has something in his cloak, and I doubt it is a bunch of imitation Rolex watches. (grin)I am betting it is something along the lines of what my good friend “Minnie” May Hopkins would have hidden in her coat.

Perhaps Abner is calling his old friend Lum.

Love the Gouldesque Classic Brown Dick Tracy Shoes with Exposed Sock.

Actually, what Abner has up his sleeve is a visual effect Joe came up with, and from our end, it turned out pretty good. Hope you all like it.

kadaver has nothing to worry about, if he can “disappear” here as well as he did back at his old digs, in front of Junior before he went on to rescue Dick from the pendelum…poof!

You’d think that a major crime syndicate would invest in a kick-proof front door.
