Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 09, 2019

Good morning™, baby admirers!

So, the baby really is named after Citizen Kane? I wouldn’t really have guessed, but I’m pretty sure that idea did come up in our discussion here back when he was born. I suppose it’s natural when his parents are a director/producer and an actor.

Gypsy seems to know something relevant to the B-B Eyes trial, but there is no hint yet as to what that might be.

Charles Foster Kane was his name and the film sunk Orson Well’s career for the rest of his life. He angered a Plutocrat titan. William Randolph Hearst.

I often don’t follow the advice in the Crimestopper’s panel, but I know I probably should, even though I live in a relatively safe area.

Letting timeline issues go lest my brain explode, what can Gypsy know about the BB issue other than Trixie told her(hearsay, as has been pointed out)? Hope for her she hasn’t got in her mind to blackmail BB Eyes, she would be an utter fool to do that.

Good morning™, ebullient new parents !

Does Gypsy see an opportunity ?

Or maybe he’ll be a secretive, tragic business tycoon.

If they later have a girl, she needs to be named “Rosebud.” ✨❤️✨

Thirty years ago, my brother-in-law angrily ordered me to go somewhere where I’d have to walk the streets and use public transportation after dark. I was unharmed, but I still wonder why he wanted me to put myself in harm’s way.

It’s a great movie about a horrible person. Why would you name a baby after Charles Foster Kane?

I didn’t even follow Crimestoppers advice when crime was much higher and I lived in a less populated area.

It seems that Gypsy knows something and I guess we will find out soon enough!!! Wether it is about BB eyes or Trixie??? We will just have to wait…

You got to love this fillers they’re doing (I do).

Well we know now that the clerk is Gypsy Gay (if she’s in hiding from BB Eyes, and, etc., why is she using that name?) I’m going to guess that “Gypsy” is some kind of nickname and not actual reference to her ethnicity, because she certainly doesn’t look like a stereotypical Romani, most anyone with some sort of Mediterranean heritage.

“Avoid traveling alone at night! In fact, just avoid traveling altogether! Barricade yourself in your house, and never go outside again!”

Oh too sweet! Citizen Kane Flintheart! Still, old Flinters should have also given it ‘Richard’ in thanks to Joe

That’s one big headed baby. Sorry about the name, kid. Sucks to be you.

They went there.

Well, the poem was good. BTW, Although Hearst may have intervened in Kane not getting a best pic award, he hardly ruined Welles’ career. He made and starred in a number of films, like The Third Man, The Magnificent Ambersons, the Stranger, Lady from Shanghai, Touch of Evil. Always good, always innovative.

Kane Flintheart, I believe, is not named after “Citizen Kane.” Vitamin was just making a little showbiz humor in calling Kane “Citizen Kane.” I think the name is primarily a reference to his mother’s name, Kandikane, modified for a boy. That’s my position.

Meanwhile, what if anything does Gypsy Gay know, and what if anything is she planning to do?

… or a mass media mogul, or a sled enthusiast!

UGH!!!! Vitamin I don’t mind, but isn’t there a way we can arrange for that milksop Kandikane to fall face first into a woodchipper somewhere?

Taking Vitamin’s age into account, im surprised the little gold digger didn’t spit out a senior citizen

Took a cruise. She did not choose to sail alone with Warbucks

Bad surprise, as in her eyes the killjoy made for no yucks

Her money man had hatched a plan: an isolated sail

To mend the bond. Again grow fond. His plan destine to fail.

Once out at sea they’d disagree what constituted bliss

Loud laughs and wine and music fine, he cared for none of this

Returned alone. None would condone the silence he embraced

No cop report. No court retort. Suspected, not disgraced.

Here today, see girls at play. A gift shop with full shelves

Friends at ease. Easy to please. Relaxed among themselves

Whom do we see? ‘Tis the Gypsy. It seems she has gone straight

An easy life sans cause for strife. No rancor, grief or hate.

Headlines shout! B-B, the lout, shall soon be placed on trial

Gypsy sees and looks so pleased. Upon her face a smile

Who can say how this may play? Might Gypsy juggle fire?

To live outside the law one must be honest, not a liar.
