Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 04, 2017

Using the holographic projection capability today. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Happy Saturday Guys!

Rest assured, the BMBG broadcasting team will be on the spot to bring up to the minute breaking news as it occurs! Stand by Gweedo, Neil, and Puzzler!

The Nitrates’ hidey hole will soon be discovered…..

Man, I wish we were following the Moon Governor right now, instead!

Boss Bacy will soon be introduced as the unexpected guest of honor… and will be seated beside Tessie Tremorhart :)

I finally completed my reference list of Midnite Mirror movie characters from the original story in the strip. You will find it here:

You’ll be able to recognize any moviegoers we might see in costume as their favourite characters.

Always on the go

The detective in the know

Come rain, sleet or snow

Or a greatly hated show

Villians shake and cry

They’re caught or they die

They know the reason why

Is that yellow coated guy

So go ahead and run

Or use a loaded gun

Eventually your fun

Will be cooked, served and done

.

Good morning everyone.

And just for Gweedo-

Good morning ya’ll!

I just realized that Tracy’s Wrist Device is apparently the newest version, with the projector feature, but it still looks like the retro Wrist Radio he was issued a while back, while Diet Smith fixed the problems with the new device. The first time the latest device was introduced, it was much rounder,( see the picture below in the ad for “Calling Dick Tracy”) whereas this is the square shape of the original 1948 radio.

The Nitrates kept their dark glasses on for the mugshots? Do they let bank robbers keep their ski masks on? (For some reason reminded of a stupid Christmas movie. Female lead was driving in the middle of the night, on a dark mountain road, while wearing dark glasses. I blame bad writing, but had no sympathy for the character when the accident, that propelled the plot forward, happened.)

Sprocket doesn’t look like the picture right now, and won’t be spotted, I think.

Posting “uniforms” at the “exits” won’t do any good. If this is supposed to be Chicago, the Nitrates will simply escape through the underground tunnels.

All this for a con artist? Tracy usually goes after murderers and the worst scum on the planet. Guess he go demoted or downsized since he’s about 95 now.

Holograms? Wow.

Sprocket sure picked the right night to change her appearance.

I’m glad to see that Tracy has called in uniforms for back-up! He has neglected to do so too often in the recent past. But he and Sam seem to be handling this affair in a methodical, safety-first manner. If the Lyric staff do their part, we may see a resolution without much violence….
