Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 12, 2018

Good morning™, Tracy attractors!

He came back and he’s hoping Tracy will follow. I suppose fe Wrist Wizard could be useful for that.

He is taking a risk that Polar Vortex just might kill him for this insubordination and attacking Devilia and letting her fall to the cops. What a tangled web this has become.

Time to implant the transponder deep in the body. So that it would not be so easy to get it out.

Good morning™, insubordinate hench guys !

If Sawtooth wasn’t dead I would have thought it was him.

Pauly seems to have a lot of pent up hatred for someone he hasn’t encountered before. Could he be…alias someone else?

The placement of the letters on the back doors are different on different days. Minor for sure, but that’s what I mean when I say the boys are sloppy!

Looks like Pauly has gone from being a secret weapon to a loose cannon.

Boy oh boy… when I’m wrong, I’m really really wrong. I suppose this means that Devil will flip and give an unexpected edge to Tracy and the rescue team, too. And what a team it might be! The MCU, Austin, Junior and Mysta at the very least with possibly Moon Governor, Diet Smith, Lee Ebony, and who knows who else. And since I’ve already got egg on my face I’ll go out on a limb and predict that it’ll surprizingly be Astor that winds up the big hero in true “Wesley Crusher” style! lol.

Shakespeare already said it, “what spider’s web we get tangled up in when we try to practice evil.”

Whoever Pauly is he REALLY hates Dick Tracy…..

I’m starting to think Pauly is a new bad guy, unknown to us but known to Tracy. Let the backstory flow.

Could Pauly perhaps be Johnny Nothing?

Ice, Ice, Baby…..

Depending on how soon Honeymoon comes to, Pauly may live to regret having her on hand.

POLAR : “By the way Pauly, where’s Devil?”

PAULY : “Devil who?”

Going to see the “warhorses” today.

I thought about Silver Nitrate, but he shouldn’t be out of prison without Tracy knowing. Aside from him, I suppose there might be a connection to classic villains that I don’t know that much about, aside from the wiki and discussion here. The idea that he just had to be within six feet of Tracy suggests a bomb. He might be willing to blow himself up with Tracy, in which case he must be really bent on revenge and having nothing to lose.

Blowtop? He could fit. He refused to have anything to do with kidnapping Trey, but Tracy himself might be different, and the death of Stiletta might have brought him over the edge, in spite of her stabbing him.

I still remember the vague reference to Haf ’n Haf some time ago.

Big mistake bring Tracy into it. But that’s why you’re a dummy

I think they made a serious error grabbing Honeymoon and it will bite them in the end!

way dumb. tossing devil out leaves a loose thread. she has no loyalty to pauly and now every reason to want him down.

Piotr does not look happy in panel 3. Pauly is asserting dominance, trying to make himself the Alpha Male in this den of miscreants. Rivalry is boiling over!

In keeping with the druggie theme, I think we can say NO to Piotr, Pauly, and merry….

Seems like even Pauly thinks this story is dragging on too long.
