Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 10, 2018

Good morning™, acquaintances of Pat!

Mike has said that Lafayette, as we now know him, is somebody’s brother. I think someone mentioned Apollo last week. I’d say that this guy could be Apollo’s brother.

How about Austin Powers? With just a trace of Shaggy from Scooby Doo!

So who is this guy and why has he been following this Topper fellow? Which we should find out by tomorrow.

The name, Lafayette or La Fayette, became popular in the United States due to the fame of “Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette,” a key figure in the American Revolution, and later, the French Revolution.  The name comes from Occitan “la faieta,” the beech forest. The Occitan language was once the dominant language of southern France.

Groovy’s brother.

At least it isn’t Howard the Duck.

Verrry interesting!

I “Googled” the name and came up with nothing. Help.

I have an odd feeling about this

yet another cog in the rapidly overcrowding machine… The Apparatus, Britt/Hornet, Kato, Red Wasp, Topper, Tracy, Sam, Patton, Wendy Wichel, Wichel’s boss, whatshisname that Topper tried to shake-down, now this joker, can we think of anyone ELSE to throw in here?

“Lafayette, you are here!”

The man who is there but can’t be seen? Sort of like Topper’s ghosts?

Are we supposed to know who this is?

Honeyboy? Wasn’t he caught and should be in jail ?!

The most dramatic entrance of a character named LaFayette since the Guns & Ships number in Hamilton.

Well, thanks, Pat.

Lafayette Austin!

Should I swoon, or something?

Possibly the most over-done entry since Team Tracy took the reigns….
